's latest outing has sparked concern about drug use.
The 26-year-old nepo baby was recently spotted with drug paraphernalia just days after his father, , spoke about his biggest parenting regret.
The "Men In Black" actor admitted "radical honesty" with Jaden and his sister backfired on him and his wife, .
Over the weekend, Jaden was seen hanging with a friend at a public park in Paris around 3 Am while surrounded by drug paraphernalia. The pair sat on a bench, staring off into the distance.
"The Karate Kid" actor held a lighter while a blue water bong was placed next to him. However, he was not seen using the bong in the image taken by the Daily Mail.
Jaden donned a bright yellow coat over a white t-shirt paired with baggy light blue jeans for the night outing. He accessorized with a red cap and chunky diamond necklaces.
The "nepo baby" and his unidentified friend soon left the park with a black tote bag, taking along their belongings.
Unfortunately, Jaden isn't the only Smith child to spark criticism for substance abuse. Just weeks ago, the internet was divided after a photo of Willow smoking weed surfaced.
The image was posted on Instagram by their grandmother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris. The "Red Table Talk" co-host was photographed smoking cannabis with Funk legend, George Clinton. Willow and the music icon hung out on a balcony during the session.
"Willow don't play about her music! The one and only, legendary George Clinton," the proud grandmother captioned the post. However, it was met with immense backlash from fans who didn't like the promotion of drug use.
"I love her for her courage and confidence… but shouldn't public figures set a good example for the youth who look up to them?" one fan questioned in the comments section.
"And it's ok to do drugs??? Lovely," a second user added.
"Wow, grandmas are different because mine would never," this fan slammed.
Jaden and Willow's exposed drug habits come after their famous father got candid about a significant parenting mistake he and Jada Pinkett made.
"We made a very, very, very terrible mistake with our children, and we went with radical honesty. But don't do it, I'm not advocating for it." Will said while appearing on "Heart Breakfast with Jamie and Amanda."
The Academy winner explained how it played out, saying, "We made a deal from really young with our kids. The deal was, if you tell the truth, you won't get in trouble."
Unfortunately, the method didn't yield the desired results. Recalling how his children took advantage, Will told the podcast:
"Because they do whatever they want and then just come tell you. It's awful, don't try it. You want your kids to lie, definitely, you don't want to know some of the stuff your kids are thinking of doing."
Despite his huge parenting error, Will and his children still have a great relationship. Their enviable bond was on display during the Capital's Summertime Ball on June 15.
During the Father's Day performance, the "Bad Boys" star brought up his 26-year-old son, sending the crowd into a frenzy. "Can you get yourselves up for a second and say hi?" Will asked Jaden, who jokingly replied, "I'm only joining cause it's Father's Day."
A proud Will gleefully told the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is my son Jaden. It's a very good time to say I love you. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there, that's my guy right there."
The father-son duo hugged sweetly before Jaden exited the stage.
Will has also been in the headlines for his music comeback. Earlier this month, the 56-year-old dropped a new single titled "Pretty Girls." Unfortunately, it received lacklustre reviews.
Fans online picked a problem with the catchy tune because of its suggestive lyrics about sex. In one line, Will raps about the different "flavors" of women, listing "vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, lemon."
Also, the music video, which began with Will describing a "problem" to a therapist, came under heavy scrutiny. "He should slap himself for making this music," one fan wrote.
