He didn't really take this order from his son. He was probably laughing when he said this. It ain't the first time he's blamed Jaden for his music!
Whatever though, the whole thing is real irritating. He can beat around the bush all he wants, the fact is he just wants to win at everything he does. He wants an Oscar and he hasn't gone platinum in a while. That need to be number one is a big reason we won't be hearing new music. Compare what he was saying during the Lost & Found period to now. Was everything he said BS? No, but he's done his hardest over the last few years to convince you that it was.
He's made it hard for me to care what he does, period. It seems like if you want to be a Will Smith fan, you better hope he's doing something he's gaining attention from or he'll move onto something else and say that's what he really wants to do.
