Willow Smith has always lived in the public eye (her parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith , after all).

But the now-18-year-old found global fame at the age of 10, thanks to her hit song, Whip My Hair.

The rise to stardom and all of the new attention wasnt easy on Willow Smith and it ended up straining her relationship with her mom and dad.

I definitely had to forgive you and daddy for that whole Whip My Hair thing. It was mostly daddy because he was so harsh at certain times, Willow Smith said during Mondays episode of the Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk.

She added, It was a couple of years, honestly. Trying to regain trust for not feeling like I was being listened to or like no one cared how I felt.

Willow Smith admitted on a previous episode of Red Table Talk in May that she totally lost my sanity for a moment during and after the songs success in 2010.

After the tour and the promotion and all of that, they wanted me to finish my album, she revealed. And I was like, Im not gonna do that. And after all of that kinda settled down and it was like a kind of lull, I was just listening to a lot of dark music. It was just so crazy and I was plunged into this black hole, and I was cutting myself.

Willow Smith has spoken about her struggles with dealing with her own fame and her parents fame before, calling it a absolutely, excruciatingly terrible in an interview with Girlgaze last year.
