Willow Smith has revealed she stepped away from child stardom to avoid "sadness" as her early taste of fame sent her to a "terrifying and dark place".
The 21-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith rebelled against her dad after she felt he pushed fame onto her. The singer said she knew she "needed to be a kid" before starting her career.
Willow launched her music career at just nine years old, recording the hit-song Whip My Hair, with encouragement from her parents. The song was an instant hit and soared to the top of the charts.
