Will and Jada's daughter, Willow, gets compared to Michael Jackson by music mogul Jay-Z

Music mogul Jay-Z has signed Will and Jada Smith’s 9-year-old daughter, Willow, to his Roc Nation record label to release her debut album, merely a day after her single 'Whip My Hair' made its debut.

According to USA Today, Jay-Z went as far as comparing her to the iconic Michael Jackson, and explains that there is talent at any age. “When you have that sort of talent, there is no such thing as too young," he told Ryan Seacrest yesterday.

He continued, "She has a child's innocence but she has a clear vision of who she is and who she wants to be," adding, "I can only imagine that's how Mike [Michael Jackson] was as a young kid, he knew exactly what he wanted."

Jay-Z also expressed his confidence in the young Smith, saying “I believe in superstars. I believe in big records and in superstars and I think [Willow] has both."
