When it comes to being an open book and sharing the most uncomfortable of personal details, you’d no doubt find an ally in Jada Pinkett Smith – the host of the successful podcast series ‘Red Table Talk.’ So it’s no surprise that she’s supportive of her son opening up about his greatest demons.

Jaden Smith Says “I Made This Project Because I’m Sad” About Upcoming Album

Jaden Smith is back with his first album in years, ‘EP 2024: A Case Study of the Long Term Effects of Young Love’ – out Oct. 18, and it’s his most personal record yet.

Last week, Jaden received support from his mother when she shared the music video for his new song D.U.M.B with her fans.

A day later, Jaden took to social media to explain the meaning and the message behind the song and its accompanying visuals. In the post, he didn’t sugarcoat his emotions, as he plainly admitted, “I made this project because I’m sad.”

Writing on Instagram, Jaden explained, “My new song D.U.M.B. stands for Deep Underground Military Base which is a shout out to the MSFTS who know wassup, but it’s really about how much I hate hurting people I love with my actions and how we can feel D.U.M.B sometimes as we simultaneously try to find and be ourselves in the digital age we all live in.”

He added, “This song was written over a year ago and is dedicated to myself, I mean no disrespect with the lyrics this is just my experience. I’ve always loved learning but I was never the smartest tool in the shed and if you ever feel D.U.M.B. as you walk the road of life trying to discover yourself, just know you’re not alone cause, she keep looking at me saying is you dumb?”[
