Gettin jiggy wit it. Na na na na na na na nana. Oh. Hello there. One of Will Smith’s biggest fans reporting live from Instagram. Two months ago, Ellen Degeneres helped our neighbor from West Philly “do it for the gram.”

First post = duck lips, naturally.

Will Smith is more than duck lips and cute babies. He doesn’t need the goto “like bait” posts. He is authentic, hilarious and kind. He’s simply the ultimate Instagram dad.

My man is a Philly boy that knows how to play. Let’s check out how he gained 10 MILLION followers in two months.

The Pursuit of Happyness: Family first.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Philly, Baby.

Will Smith never forgets his roots. Eagles winning the Super Bowl had him like:

Collateral Beauty: he’s human.

This made Smith emotional and really think about what Jake wrote. In his Instagram story, Smith said:

“What can I do? I looked at his IG and it says barstool therapist. He wants a shot to save the world. That really got me. The concept that somebody wants a shot to save the world. He wants two million views, so I’m going to try and figure out how to get you two million views on something J. So I’m going to sit for a bit and think about something and I’m going to send you a video that only you can post and we’re going to try and get you two million views so you can save the world.” 

Will Smith delivered with this video:

#savetheworldwithlaughter @willsmith thanks brother!!!!

Ya’ll remember Jaden Smith, the Karate Kid? He’s all grown up now. The proud papa celebrated his son’s 100,000,000 Spotify streams by recreating his music video:
