In a post to Facebook, the father of two shared a throwback of his outfit, claiming that his kids, Jaden and Willow Smith, had questioned his fashion choices.

Smith captioned the post as, "This is the picture my kids showed me last time I tried to comment on their fashion." He also owned up to his fashion mistake, claiming it was the "Last time I do that."

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air show might have come to an end decades ago. However, the world still has not gotten over it and neither has Will Smith. Just last year, the actor took to his Instagram to share artwork featuring him and other members that had been created by a Brazilian street artist. The pictures showed the drawing of the actor's character with stunning leaves filling in for his hair. The work was so impressive that even Jaden Smith could not hold his praise.

"This is a flex," he commented under his father's post. Although it might have been the 'ICON' singer's way of throwing shade, it fitted perfectly with the rather creative social media post.
