Jaden Smith used to be known for his acting and rapping careers, but his presence on social media has certainly been his main method of fame as of late. He used to go viral for his mysterious tweets, but over the past few years, he’s been much more direct with his thoughts and opinions.
Regardless of his talents and tweets, at the end of the day, most people know Smith because of who he’s connected to. There’s his superstar family, consisting of one of the biggest couples in the world Will and Jada. His sister Willow had a smash hit in “Whip My Hair”.
Jaden also has some famous companions as well. Here are some of his biggest friendships over the years, including who he’s connected to now, and which of his former friends he has beef with now.
8. Is Jaden Smith Still Friends With August Alsina After The Jada Pickett-Smith Controversy?
August Alsina might be remembered for his romance with Jada Pickett-Smith, but his friendship with Jaden for whatever reason hasn’t been discussed as much. Jaden and August have a pretty interesting history together – here’s exactly what they’ve done together.
Per Jojo Crews, Smith and Alsina met as actors for the unaired TV show Brothers in Atlanta. After that, they would attend music festivals and Hollywood parties together. Naturally, things went downhill after all the drama that transpired. However, if it wasn’t for what was once a pretty close friendship between those two, perhaps Will and Jada’s relationship troubles would have gone differently.
August has been kept out of the limelight for the most part since he revealed he had a boyfriend in 2022.
7. Is Jaden Smith Friends With Tyler, The Creator?
Smith has become really close to rapper Tyler, the Creator. They’ve been friends for some time, but over the last few years, things have gotten so good between them that some fans believe they may have been in a relationship at some point.
According to Distractify, Jaden and Tyler were seen hanging out back in 2013. Then, in 2015, Smith tweeted out “I Think I’m In Love With You” to Tyler on his birthday. At that time, most fans believed the two were innocently messing with each other. However, Tyler confessed a few times on his albums “Flower Boy” and “Igor” that he’s seriously into guys in a romantic way, once again sparking rumors of a fling between him and Smith.
Jaden then said at a concert in 2018 that Tyler is his “boyfriend”, something that Tyler would deny later on social media and in an interview with Nardwuar. Regardless, they are certainly close friends with each other, even if they aren’t exactly dating. Tyler is friends with other A-list celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, so it shouldn’t be a surprise he’s pretty close to Jaden.

Kid Cudi is famously friends with celebrities such as Kanye West, Selena Gomez, and even Timothee Chalamet. However, two of his closest celebrity friends have been the Smith siblings, both Jaden and Willow.

Meanwhile, Justin had his first #1 hit in 2009’s “Baby” song featuring Ludacris. Since then, he’s had a variety of hit songs, as well as some famous relationships with people like Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber.
Of course, Bieber and Smith linked up in 2010’s “Never Say Never” song that went all the way to #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.
