Are celebrity kids really handed everything? In the first episode of Silver Spoons, Jae’Won, son of Jadakiss, and CJ Wallace, son of The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans, take on the “nepo baby” label head-on, and get real about legacy, pressure, privilege, and what people on the outside never see.
Are celebrity kids really handed everything? In the first episode of Silver Spoons, Jae’Won, son of Jadakiss, and CJ Wallace, son of The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans, take on the “nepo baby” label head-on, and get real about legacy, pressure, privilege, and what people on the outside never see.
The guys break down the actual definition of nepotism and whether it applies to them, the NBA’s new era of second-generation stars, and what it was like growing up around Biggie’s legacy, Faith Evans’ studio sessions in Atlanta, and the Ruff Ryders era in Yonkers. Jae’Won drops a hot take on Ready to Die that CJ is NOT having, they go track-by-track through Biggie and Jadakiss albums, and pick their favorite songs and R&B features from their dads. Plus, survivor’s guilt, getting profiled in luxury stores, being the family’s “ace in the hole,” starting therapy, a birthday arrest story, and whether their spoon was silver… or platinum.
