Willow Smith's new song blasted for being 'age inappropriate'
Published: 2013 July 10 12:51:57 (6498 Views)
She's just 12-years-old but in her new track Willow Smith is heard singing about a rather grown up love affair - leading fans to brand Summer Fling 'inappropriate'.
The lyrics go: 'Don't really care what we do tonight. Good night kisses if the mood is right laying by the beach with you wishing this will never end.'
Adopting a strange British accent she says: 'Thanks for the summer fling. It was nice.'
In the video her 'boyfriend' seems to be much older than her as they embark on a fake summer love affair.
A lot of the other actors appear to be older teenagers.
In another somewhat racy scene Willow is seen jumping on a trampoline with her female friends while her fake boyfriend picks her up off the ground.
One tweet from the Black Youth Project said: 'Smith's new single, "Summer Fling," has raised eyebrows due to its subject matter and accompanying video.
And it isn't just the lyrics that have angered fans - they have also derided her fake English accent too.
Having developed a blossoming reputation in fashion circles courtesy of her distinctive dress sense, Willow no doubt, had a big say in what she wore in the video.
In Summer fling Willow displays her new blonde hairstyle which is tied back with a red bandana with cut off denim shorts and baseball boots.
Despite her tender age Willow has already signed a lucrative record deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation record label – the high-point of which being a top ten UK hit with debut single Whip My hair in 2010.
The track – which climbed to number 11 in her native US – earned Willow nominations for Best New Artist and Video of the Year at the BET Awards, but the success would be short-lived.
Indeed, later singles saw a dramatic decline in sales, with second release 21st Century Girl limping to a comparatively poor 99 on the US Billboard and 91 in the UK – while her collaboration with rapper Nicki Minaj on Fireball failed to chart.
Despite attempting a musical comeback with the release, Willow has previously admitted to wishing that she wasn't famous because she struggles with being in the public eye.
'Let's say if a regular girl is going to the book store, it's ten times harder to go everywhere (when you're famous)…it's going to take me ten more minutes to get there. Because I have to call security,' she said in a conversation with Red Table Talk.
However, the young star admitted that fame had some positive advantages.
She said: 'It's not like I can reserve being famous…but if there's a problem in the world, then more people will listen to me.'
