“DEVELOPING: Hollywood actor Will Smith’s son Jaden Smith has been going viral after being spotted with a strange appearance where he can be seen physically holding his pants up to prevent them from falling to his ankles,” read the caption.
And, as usual, those on the internet were quick to jump to conclusions.

“It’s so sad to see these young men so lost,” read one comment.
“He looks like a ex-convict looking for action in a ghetto gay bar…” another judged. “Rather sad to see him travel this road.”
Another noted, “Questioning one’s self-worth will do that to you.”
“The apple didn’t ‘fall’ from the tree,” one user said, referencing his father Will Smith. “It rotted!”
“He looks ridiculous,” someone labeled. “Such a shame he can’t see it. A culture full of rebellion, disrespect, pride and self-worship.”
A lot of netizens thought he looked rather lost

A netizen asked, “What is it about dressing like that, that is ‘cool’ or whatever else it supposedly represents? I genuinely don’t get it.”
One comment echoed a similar sentiment, “Why do they wear their pants like that. Please know that I live in Ireland and genuinely do not understand this.”

Jaden Smith isn’t entirely new to conversation regarding his physical appearance. The uproar started a while ago, and it’s only continued into this new year.
During the Grammys last month, people were left blinking in shock as the 26-year-old showed up to the awards ceremony with a black castle fitted onto his head, posing with his sister Willow Smith on the red carpet.

While the rest of his attire was quite conventional, wearing a black tuxedo and white collared shirt underneath, fans couldn’t help but share their shock on social media.
“Knowing Jaden Smith somebody prolly told him he’s living in his own head so he said bet,” one person wrote.
“Talk about having a roof over your head,” another joked.
But one user seemed particularly stressed out as they exclaimed, “What the hell is even that? How do you expect anyone to take you seriously with a frigging house oh [sic] your head?”
“If people are so desperate for attention, maybe they should do something that makes the world a better place rather than looking the most foolish,” said someone.

While nothing is confirmed, the second-youngest Smith is reportedly set to appear in Karate Kid: Legends and After Earth 2, which are both scheduled to come out in 2025.
“He has lost his way,” one person claimed

In the photos where he has a baseball cap on, is it just... sitting on top of his hair? Like not even pulled down ON his head, so to speak, but perched on top like when I put objects onto my dog's head and make him sit there and balance them for a dog treat? Because that's what it looks like. XD

That hat won’t hold all that hair. You saw all the dreads and jewelry and stuff in his hair, right? A baseball hat has no give. But what can we expect? Dummy’s trying to bring jailing back in style. 🙄 In Spanish Harlem, it’s still kinda popular, and there seems to be some kinda race to see who can wear his pants the lowest. I burst out laughing last month when a dope with his pants around his KNEES had to run to cross the street. He tripped and while he never fell down, he wasn’t able to get his balance back and so kinda windmilled his way across the street. It looked so incredibly stupid, but I saw the same dope recently *still* with his pants around his knees! 🙄🙄🙄
