The edgy star was seen getting into the Halloween spirit as he chatted with a pal wearing devil horns on his night off. 

Jaden  previously spoke about taking a break from his musical career during an interview with Complex, where he noted that he was planning on stepping back from the music industry.

‘I’m going to keep on bouncing around. I’ve been here on this alternative sound for, like, two full years, which has never really happened before…But I think that I’m probably not going to release any music for a while,’ she said.

He then left his musical prospects up in the air and noted that he had accepted the idea of an open-ended future.

‘I don’t know. I guess we’ll see. I don’t know how it’s going to work. I’m kind of just doing it one day at a time, just figuring it out,’ he said.

This comes as Jaden’s famous father Will Smith commences his comeback after causing uproar when he slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.   

Smith’s latest film Emancipation is a historical thriller directed by Antoine Fuqua, in which the Fresh Prince actor stars as an enslaved man named Peter who escapes from a Louisiana plantation and braves treacherous territory and slave hunters to make it up north to Union territory, where he is able to join the fight against the Confederacy.

The film was inspired by the life of a former slave immortalized in horrifying photos of his back, which was covered in spiderwebbing keloid scars from repeated whippings. 

The film is Smith’s first major work since he took to the stage at the Academy Awards and slapped Chris Rock on the face while he was in the midst of presenting.

Famous friends: Jaden’s father Will Smith continued his acting comeback on Monday when he shared a star-studded photo of a screening of Emancipation featuring Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Dave Chappelle, Tyler Perry and more

The Independence Day star said he was incensed by a joke Rock made about his wife’s lack of hair, which she shaved off to cover up hair loss she had experienced. 

Despite sweeping the Oscars up in controversy, Smith still won the award for Best Actor for starring as the father of Venus and Serena Williams in King Richard. 

Following the shocking slap, Variety originally reported that Apple planned to delay the film until 2023 to let the controversy die down.

However, it is now set for a December 2 release in theaters, followed by a streaming release on Apple TV+ on December 9.

The streaming service may have still given up its plans of having a hit for awards season, as the film may lose out on potential profits due to the short theatrical window

Back on track: The film was originally reported to be delayed to 2023 after Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, but it will now be out in time for award season with a December 2 theatrical release; seen in March
