As mentioned, Jaden was a special guest during his younger sister’s second set at Coachella. The two performed their single “Summertime in Paris” and they aced it but their vocals and stage presence weren't the only thing making headlines afterward.

In March, the “Icon” rapper attended the Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Week show carrying an impressive bag from the brand.

Although it is rare to see the Oscar-winning actor not gushing about his grown-up children- Trey, Jaden, and Willow- blooming acting or music careers on his social media, there are such moments when he teases and gleefully makes fun of them. 

Last December, The Blast detailed how the doting father invited his kids to take over the “Red Table Talk” at 2 pm but following his invite, he decided to share with his millions of followers the time each of them arrived. 

The” Fresh Prince Bel-Air” alum posted an Instagram reel with the caption, “Let’s see what time my kids get to Red Table Talk.” to show viewers his kids’ punctuality levels. The third child of the four-time Grammy Awards winner was the first to arrive on the set at 12:31 pm. 

Next was Trey, who arrived at 12:46 pm and was referred to as the “Most Dependable Son” by the “I am Legend” actor. Last in line was the 24-year-old, who walked in unbothered at 1:54 pm. in a white shirt, black jacket, and blue jeans.
