J Cole Reacts to Jada Pinkett and Will Smith Controversy
The continuing Keeping Up With the Smiths controversy has received commentary from yet another notable individual. Rapper J Cole recently performed, adding his voice or rather, his silence to the conversation.
J. Cole made a subtle reference to the renowned characters from the sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which launched Smith to fame, while performing a live version of a song that explores the subject of true love. An excerpt of the song’s lyrics is provided below:
“I want a real love, dark-skinned and Aunt Viv love. That Jada and that Will love. That leave a toothbrush at your crib love.”
When Jada and Will’s names were mentioned, the well-known artist surprisingly said nothing. A few onlookers found J Cole’s move amusing, despite the fact that many have grown tired of hearing from the “Worthy” author following accusations of purposefully embarrassing the “Bad Boys” star:
Jada Pinkett Smith has spoke openly about the likelihood of her and husband Will Smith divorcing over the next ten years. The well-known Hollywood pair, who was hitched in 1997, has previously struggled with periods of separation and marital difficulties.

However, Pinkett Smith revealed to Hoda Kotb that since 2016, they have actually been living different lifestyles, which, aside from the formal documentation, resembles a divorce.
Many people were taken aback when the couple announced their split, especially in light of Jada Pinkett Smith’s candor on her Red Table Talk podcast series. She and Will Smith discussed her adulterous relationship in an episode from 2020.
Later, at the 2022 Academy Awards, there occurred the infamous incident in which Smith attacked presenter Chris Rock over a joke about Pinkett Smith’s hair. Smith has now apologized profusely for the incident, which resulted in a 10-year ban from the Oscars and all other academy-related events.
Surprisingly, the public didn’t know that the famous couple had been living different lifestyles since 2016 during this time.
Smith and Pinkett Smith have subsequently publicly proclaimed their intense love and respect for one another in spite of this revelation, indicating that their split may not be final.
