Willow Smith's Taking Over!

Any spawn of Will Smith or Jada Pinkett is a walking, talented being. After Jaden's movie debuts and taking his fathers steps as a rapper to feature on Justin Beiber's Never Say Never, for the movie 'Karete Kid'. Was there any surprise that his little sister Willow, was going to be in the industry too?

Signed to Roc Nation, this little girl has already been the talk of the town. 'Whip My Hair', her first single, had every one's mouth wide open. So far being called 'the young Rihanna', the youngest soloist in history to ever have a Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Not bad for a 10 year old.
It doesn't stop there. Willow is set to play the main role in hit musical Annie. Movie heavyweight Will Smith - is 'exploring with Sony the potential' for the film, according to industry magazine, Variety. It just doesn't stop there. Jay-Z also has a say in this. Will Smith and rapper Jay-Z have collaborated before, co-producing the Broadway Fela!, which went on to win three Tony Awards. The pair are looking to repeat their success with the musical theatre genre, remaking 1982's 'Annie', a film based on the 1977 musical of the same name. The film, which marks the first feature film collaboration between the two, is being imagined as a star vehicle for Smith's 10-year-old daughter, Willow. Jay-Z has already invested in Willow's musical career; his record label Roc Nation produced her certified platinum single, "Whip My Hair."
