Willow Smith: Jay-Z gives me creative advice

11th March 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Willow Smith has revealed Jay-Z gives her tips to help her overcome creative blocks.

The ten-year-old pop star daughter of rapper/actor Will Smith and movie actress Jada Pinkett Smith shot to international fame last year with her catchy debut single Whip My Hair.

Willow is signed to rap mogul Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation, and she has revealed the 41-year-old music maestro always treats her the same way as he would an adult artist.

When the youngster is having trouble coming up with musical inspiration, Jay-Z encourages Willow to look for creativity wherever she can, rather than admit defeat.

Whenever I have a creative block, hes always like, Do what artists do when they have a block. Make a song about it, she told Kiss FM.

Willow isnt fazed by her showbiz lifestyle, and counts many A-list stars such as Kylie Minogue and Kim Kardashian as fans. Just last month the pop star was hobnobbing with the likes of Lady Gaga at the Grammy Awards. Willow was rocking an eccentric sparkly yellow outfit, while Gaga famously sported pointy shoulder horns and hatched from an egg-like vessel. It was the perfect opportunity for the fashion-forward pair to swap style advice.

We were talking about my outfit and her shoulders. Shes awesome, gushed Willow. (C) Cover Media
