Willow Smith fell asleep in front of Jay-Z the first time they met.<\/p>\n
The 10-year-old pop star – who is the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith – is signed to the rapper’s Roc Nation record label but when they first sat down to discuss her career the young singer nodded off.<\/p>\n
She said: “When I met with him (Jay-Z) in Japan I was so tired because I was hanging out the night before and had been dancing and having fun and I didn’t know we had to meet Jay-Z that next morning so I went to sleep at, like, 4am and I fell asleep in the meeting!”<\/p>\n
But the ‘Whip My Hair’ singer insists she didn’t miss anything important, and was able to pretend she was awake because she was wearing dark glasses. <\/p>\n
She added in an interview with UK station BBC Radio 1: “I had glasses and so I was, like, nodding along, but they were listening to the song and he was just talking to my mom and dad. But I was really tired. I was probably asleep for, like, 10 minutes of it. But I didn’t miss anything (really good), that’s the cool part I only missed the parts where he was explaining to my mom and dad where we’re gonna be going and when we were gonna drop the single, stuff like that – although I guess that’s important. But we got to hear all the songs they had for me, we have a lot of bombs to drop. It’s gonna be like ‘boom’.”<\/p>\n
Willow admits she sleeps a lot and relies on her brother Jaden – who has starred in several movies, including ‘The Karate Kid’ – to be her alarm clock.<\/p>\n
She said: “I sleep until someone screams at me. It’s usually my brother, mostly.”<\/p>\n
