When Willow Smith first entered the music scene with her debut song, 'Whip My Hair,' no one could have predicted the 10-year-old would become an overnight sensation.As the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, the tiny songstress is no stranger to the limelight. Her brother Jaden starred in the remake of the classic film 'The Karate Kid' this past summer. Willow's new found role as a performer is a natural fit in her talented family.
And still, nepotism had nothing to do with the wildfire internet and radio takeover 'Whip My Hair' staged. It was all about attitude.
"Whipping your hair is kind of the thing where you do it and people are like, 'Yeah, that's pretty cool, Willow.' I'm like, 'Thanks ... but it's supposed to make you scared!'" Smith explained.
PopEater sat down with Willow Smith to talk about her off-the-charts style and what celebrity loves to whip his hair! Watch the video interview after the jump.

YOU ARE SO WRONG FOR THIS ONE...WITH THAT ATTITUDE YOU HAVE GOT TO BE AN FOOL.
I agree. She is just so adorable & refreshing & has a wonderful spirit. I hope she stays as grounded as she is. She has a very close & loving family so that shouldn't be a problem.

A child with this lifestyle is "grounded"???
"I never really get to go to school because I am always on tour or with my father. There is a tutor most of the time, but usually I am working so I never get to do the lessons. The worst thing about maths is all the kids are ahead of me because they go to school."
REALLY?!?!?!? LOL The other gems on their parenting, we'll say techniques, are starting the countdown to the next generation of Lilos (remember, she was Willow's age when everyone thought she was a little darlin', too) and Paris' and that's saaaaaaad.....
I am not sure how old you are but it is the type of song that only the tweens would like & they sure do.

I used to like Will Smith a lot more before he started PIMPING his kids out.

Here is a child trying to enjoy life and I'm shocked to read adults hateing on a child. This child has done nonthing to harm or took anything away from them. HATEING JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN IS STUPID AND CHILDISH !
