She didn’t directly name her father Will Smith or Chris Rock, but she did address the ongoing drama that has followed her family.
Today (August 5), Willow officially announced the September arrival of her next album <COPINGMECHANISM>, and as she begins press rollouts for the record, she spoke with the outlet about the project.
“I wanted to go for rock. I didn’t want to go for pop punk. I didn’t want to go for what’s necessarily popular right now,” Smith revealed. “I wanted to go for the heart of rock music, which to me is a deep outcry — maybe about pain, maybe about joy.”
Willow also said that the backlash that her family received from the public didn’t “rock me as much as my own internal demons.”
“I see my whole family as being human, and I love and accept them for all their humanness,” the singer said. “Because of the position that we’re in, our humanness sometimes isn’t accepted, and we’re expected to act in a way that isn’t conducive to a healthy human life and isn’t conducive to being honest.”
