Will Smith makes brutal jibe at son Jaden Smith about having kids in birthday post

Will Smith let his inner comic out when he wished his son a 'happy birthday.' Smith's son, Jaden Smith recently turned 25 and it had Will reflecting on when he was younger.

Will wrote: "Happy Birthday, J-Diggy. It's crazy that you're 25?!?! When I was 25 I had a 2 yr. old."

His caption referred to his first son, Trey Smith, whom he welcomed with his ex, Sheree Zampino.

It wouldn't be until about six years later that Will welcomed second son Jaden into the world. His last child Willow Smith was born only two years after that. Will shares Jaden and Willow with current wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Playfully encouraging his son towards fatherhood, Will continued: "I'm just sayin' Wha's up? What you doin' over there?"

Some fans in the comments tried to explain to Will the 'Gen Z' attitude towards kids and marriage. Rapper, Barak Jacuzzi, explained that 25 was still too young.

He wrote: "Our generation waiting til we grown a*s adults before kids."

Another commenter said: "These adults kids aren’t having any kids anytime soon. They’re enjoying life as they should."

A fan who thought that Will's mindset was outdated, tagged a friend and said: "This is not 1970, they will not put pressure on us. Nope."

Many in the comments made light of Will wanting grandchildren. As of right now, he does not have any. Some fans even recognised this banter as similar to their own parents.

One fan wrote: "Parents are all same, I swear."

Another was forward-thinking when they commented: "Can’t wait for my son to grown up so that I can caption this too."

It doesn't necessarily look like Will's dreams of being a grandfather will arrive any time soon. Jaden is currently busy establishing a career on his own. His acting career consists of his famous role in The Karate Kid (2010). On top of that, he's also a musician with six albums out. Jaden seems to be putting kids on hold.

A commenter tried to explain in the comments: "Will wants grandkids. People wait til 40 to have kids now."

Jaden has his reasons. He's focused on his creative career and even some philanthropic, charitable endeavours too.
