Jaden Smith snags yet another cover, connecting with Nylon for its August 2016 issue. Hitting a New York photo studio, Smith is photographed by Jesse John Jenkins with styling by Anda and Masha. Talking to the magazine about where he gets his confidence from, Smith shares, “You just have to believe in yourself, you know.” He continues, “The world is going to keep bashing me for whatever I do, and I’m going to keep not caring. I’m going to keep doing the same things—I’m going to keep doing more things. I’m going to take most of the blows for my fellow MSFTS.”
