The rapper turned actor responded:
“Somebody is 19 years old, they’re gonna do what they’re gonna do just like we did.”
He continues:
“For me the most important thing was for him to know anytime he can just call and I’ll come, whatever happens. At that age that’s what you need to know. You can do what ya gonna do, but you have some place you can go, you can find safety.”

Jada Pinkett who has defended young stars like Justin, Rihanna and Taylor Swift in the past was right by her hubby’s side. The Fresh Prince added:
“We think it hugely important to support artists, young artists specifically. There’s really a war against that kind of artistry, that kind of creation, and against youth.”
Looks like this guy is standing right besides the Biebs in that war. Kudos!
