Jay-Z Has Signed Will Smith's Nine Year-old Daughter Willow to his Roc Nation Label
Jay explained how he met the singer.
“First off, I heard the record first, before I knew that it was recorded by a nine year-old,” Jay said in an interview with radio host Ryan Seacrest.
“I was like, ‘Man, that record is a smash.’ — I went to Japan to do some stuff and they were out there and I met Willow and she walked in and the first thing she said was, ‘I’m really nervous,’ and I thought that maturity, explaining exactly how she was feeling as she was walking in the room, I
knew right there she was a star. I believe in super stars and I believe in big records on super stars…
Yes, [I signed her and we plan on helping her] facilitate all her ideas. As you’re going to learn today, if you sit with her for a half hour, you’ll see, she’s just a wealth of information and ideas…She’s a child, she has child innocence but she has a refreshing clear vision of what she wants to be…
And I imagine that’s how Mike [Jackson] was as a kid.”
