Willow Smith surprises Jada Pinkett Smith with a Wicked Wisdom reunion 

Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 9, but Red Table Talk celebrated early with a new episode Wednesday (May 5).

Red Table Talk centers around three generations of strong women in Willow Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith and Adrienne Banfield-Norris (affectionately known as Gammy), and the honest conversations they have with their guests. The holiday is already special for the Facebook Watch Originals series, which debuted around Mother's Day 2018, but Willow ensured that this year was bigger and better than ever for her mom.

After the powerhouse trio honored several mothers, Willow surprised Jada by reviving her nu metal Wicked Wisdom days.

"When I was, I wanna say, about three or four, I went on tour with my mom and her band, Wicked Wisdom," the 20-year-old said in a video prerecorded for Jada. "Wicked Wisdom was lit. This is the music that I grew up around. My mother was superwoman. She was a rockstar. She was a warrior. And a nurturer, all in one. So unapologetically bad***."

Willow then performed "Bleed All Over Me," a song she loved to watch her mom play while accompanying her on tour as a kid, with Jada's former bandmates in the Smith driveway. Willow was hoping "for just one tear," and Jada couldn't help but cry. The 49-year-old actress and producer also danced and sang along like it was 2002.

Separately, Willow has freshly entered the pop-punk arena with her new single "Transparent Soul" featuring Travis Barker, released last week.
