Prominent actor and rapper Will Smith took to Instagram on Saturday, July 9, to commemorate his son Jaden's 25th birthday. Still, the celebratory message he posted seemed to carry a peculiar undertone, subtly nudging his son about not having children yet.

Smith, the celebrated star from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," shared a monochrome snapshot of him and Jaden, captioning it with, "Happy Birthday, J-Diggy. It’s astounding you’re 25?!?! When I was your age, I had a 2-year-old... Just putting it out there... Wha's up? What you up to?"

The Academy Award-winning actor's unusual jest promptly caught the attention of his fans, leading to a flurry of responses in the comments section.

One amused follower echoed Smith's sentiments, stating, "Will's longing for grandkids. Nowadays, people defer parenthood till their 40s." Another one joked about the generational gap, remarking, "Our age bracket tends to wait until we're bona fide adults before having children."

Even Adrienne Banfield Norris, Jada Pinkett Smith's mother, and Jaden's grandmother chimed in on the banter, teasingly commenting, "He's wiser than you."

Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, took a more sentimental route with her social media tribute to their son. She shared an endearing throwback image of herself with a baby Jaden and a heartwarming birthday wish, “Happy 25th Birthday my sweet, sweet Jaden!"

Smith's uncanny comment on Jaden's childless status left fans pondering over the young star's romantic situation. The "After Earth" lead has been linked to several romantic partners in the past, such as Sarah Snyder, Odessa Adlon, and also hinted at a relationship with Tyler, The Creator.

The Smith family's distinctive dynamics extend beyond the realms of conventional parenting. As previously reported, Jaden unveiled at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver last month that his mother, Jada, introduced the family to hallucinogenic drugs.

Smith, as a father, takes pride in his children's achievements and isn't shy about expressing it. In April, he commended his children, Jaden and Willow, for their phenomenal performance at Coachella, labeling the event "WILLOWCHELLA" and sharing a video of himself at his daughter's set, with Jaden sporting a "Willow's Brother" T-shirt.

Despite Will Smith's contentious encounter with Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards, his children expressed their solidarity. Willow commended her father's "human" response to the incident in an interview, and insiders claimed Jaden wasn't shocked by his father's actions, understanding that he was only defending his mother.
