The picture, shared on the 24-year-old’s Instagram Story to her 11.5 million followers, showed the singer with tears streaming down her face, staring off into the distance.

However, it was the caption – “who ate all the p***y” – that really caught attention and sparked confusion.

While the post may have been intended as a joke, it immediately led to concerns about Willow’s well-being.

Many fans on social media voiced worry, with one commenting, “Is she ok? She does not seem like she’s ok.” Some even pointed fingers at her famous parents for their daughter’s emotional outburst, with one writing, “Will Smith and Jada have utterly failed as parents.”

Others took to mocking the Smith family, calling them “weird,” while some speculated that the ‘Wait a Minute’ musician was simply “trolling” or trying to provoke a reaction, a tactic her brother Jaden has been known for in the past.

Despite the backlash, Willow has also received support from her fans, many of whom praised her for being “unfiltered” and “real” on social media.

“Willow speaking facts, LIKE DAMN, SAVE SOME FOR THE REST OF US,” a fan said, while another remarked, “She’s so real for this.”

Willow, who has enjoyed success since her 2010 hit ‘Whip My Hair,’ released her sixth studio album Empathogen in 2024 and has collaborated with artists like Nicki Minaj and Travis Barker.

Her post reignited discussions about her sexuality as she first came out as bisexual in 2019 and offered more insight into her gender and sexuality in April 2024, saying that she sees herself somewhere between “heterosexual” and “bi/pansexual,” per Hello Magazine.

As for her gender identity, she described herself as mostly identifying as “female,” with a slight lean toward “non-binary.”

Additionally, Willow has been open about her polyamorous lifestyle. She first discussed her views on polyamory in 2021 during an appearance on Red Table Talk, explaining that she felt the institution of marriage, particularly for women, was limiting and outdated.

“The history of marriage really irks me. Just the history of marriage as a whole and what it has represented over the years, for women in particular,” she shared.

“With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you and not just stepping into monogamy because that’s what everyone around you says is the right thing to do. So, I was like, ‘How can I structure the way that I approach relationships with that in mind?'” she continued. “Also, doing research into polyamory,” adding: “the main [reason] why divorces happen is infidelity.”

She went on to clarify that she doesn’t see herself with “more than two partners” in a relationship.
