Reports Allege Drug Incident During Paris Outing. Friends and Family Express Growing Concern for Young Star
July 25, 2025: Jaden Smith, son of Hollywood star Will Smith, has reportedly sparked significant concern among his inner circle and fans following an alleged drug bust in Paris. The incident, as reported by RadarOnline, has raised fears that the young actor and rapper may be on a dangerous path.
Alleged Drug Incident in Paris Sparks Concern
Sources close to Jaden indicate that he was allegedly “busted” during an “apparent drug binge” while partying with friends in the French capital. The concern escalated after he was photographed exiting two party venues in Paris wearing a beanie and reportedly with a bong.
“It’s not a good look, especially as cannabis is illegal in France, where the legal possession amount and use is a criminal offense,” a source told RadarOnline. “Clearly, Jaden is heading in a dangerous direction. He was out at 3 a.m. in a foreign city partying his head off and then spending a lot less time at home. And with his parents living separately and their marital situation up in the air, he’s probably avoiding them altogether.”
At present, Will Smith is reportedly focused on his music comeback, while Jada Pinkett Smith, 53, is engaged in new projects following the cancellation of her “Red Table Talk” on Facebook Watch in 2022.
The source further commented on Jaden’s situation, stating, “Jaden’s a sweet kid and he means well, but his parents are not helping. He’s misunderstood. He’s been spoiled his whole life, so he’s used to doing whatever he wants and making people laugh – often at the cost of looking ridiculous. Jaden’s been completely let off the leash. He’s making a lot of people very upset. Once so cool, he’s making it look foolish.”
Jaden Smith’s Past Comments on Psychedelic Use
It’s worth noting that in 2023, Jaden openly discussed his family’s use of psychedelic drugs. During the Psychedelic Science conference, the “Karate Kid” star stated, “I think it was my mom, actually, that was really the first one to make that step for the family.” Jaden has previously credited psychedelics with helping him discover “love and empathy” for his siblings.
Will Smith became a father in 1992 with his son Trey. He later married Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997, welcoming Jaden in 1998 and Willow in 2000. The family has often spoken about their progressive parenting style, emphasizing respect and allowing their children significant freedom, including Jaden’s request for emancipation at age 15
