Jaden Smith is continuing his fight against homelessness by opening a restaurant to help provide free meals to those in need.

The rapper/actor is expanding his I Love You food truck initiative into a full-blown restaurant to feed the homeless, Variety reports.

“It’s for homeless people to get free food,” Smith said. “But if you’re not homeless, not only do you have to pay, but you have to pay for more than the food’s worth so that you can pay for the person behind you.”

The restaurant plan comes two years after The Karate Kid star launched his series of vegan food trucks aimed at providing free healthy sustainable meals to the homeless community in Los Angeles’s Skid Row area.

His mobile I Love You Restaurant passed out brown paper bags that included bowls of carrots and kale to some of the 8,000 people estimated to live in the area, The Hollywood Reporter reports.

Speaking on his food truck initiative on Instagram, the eldest of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s two kids explained how his I Love You restaurant “is a movement that is all about giving people what they deserve, healthy, vegan food for free.” He teased that more trucks were coming in the future. “Keep a look out,” he told his followers.

His famous father, Will Smith, shared that Jaden’s food truck idea was how his son chose to celebrate his 21st birthday. “Now THAT is the way to Celebrate your Bday!! I love U, Diggy,” the Bad Boys star wrote.

“Our mission is to spread love to communities experiencing food and/or housing insecurity by offering water along with fresh, high-quality, and delicious sustainable meal options,” his company website states.

There’s no word on when The Get Down star’s new restaurant will open or where it will be located. But when considering Smith’s latest initiatives, it’s clear he’ll keep his word.

Jaden Smith Has His Own Restaurant Called “I Love You”

In a world where headlines are dominated by scandal, division, and viral drama, one young man is quietly rewriting what it means to be famous.

Jaden Smith, son of Hollywood royalty, has often been misunderstood. From his fashion choices to his cryptic tweets, the internet hasn’t always been kind. For years, he’s been the subject of ridicule and memes, with people quick to label him “weird” or “out of touch.”

But behind the layers of eccentricity lies a soul deeply in tune with the world’s pain.

In 2019, Jaden launched the “I Love You” vegan food truck on the streets of Skid Row, Los Angeles. At the time, it looked like just another celebrity PR move. But it wasn’t.

Jaden wasn’t trying to be trendy. He was planting a seed.

Today, that seed is blossoming into something beautiful: a permanent restaurant called “I Love You.” A place where people without homes can walk in, sit down, and eat for free. No questions asked. No judgment. Just love. Pure, radical love served on a plate.

And for those who can afford to pay? They’ll be charged extra to help cover a meal for someone in need.

In this restaurant, money isn’t power. Generosity is.

In a country where hunger hides behind cracked sidewalks and broken dreams, and where the homeless are often treated as invisible or less than human, Jaden’s restaurant dares to say: You matter. You deserve dignity. You deserve a warm, healthy meal.

He isn’t just feeding people — he’s feeding souls.

At a time when it’s easier to post a hashtag than to show up for your community, Jaden is showing up — consistently, quietly, and with his own resources. He’s not waiting for the world to change. He’s changing it one meal at a time.

Love Is an Action Word

The genius of “I Love You” lies in its simplicity. It doesn’t rely on policies or politics. It isn’t a million-dollar gala or a performative charity ball. It’s a place. A warm, real place that lives up to its name.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s the revolution we need — one rooted in kindness that doesn’t broadcast itself, one that serves people without making them feel like projects.

It’s funny how quick the world is to judge what it doesn’t understand.

Jaden has been mocked for his fashion, questioned for his identity, and scrutinized simply for being different. But while the critics type behind screens, he’s been out there walking the walk.

He’s faced ridicule and still chose love. He’s proven that being different doesn’t mean being disconnected sometimes, it means you see what others don’t.

How many of us have used our platforms, our privileges, or even our lunch breaks to serve someone who has nothing?

Lessons We Can All Learn

You don’t need to be perfect to do good.

Love should be practical.

If you have the means, you have a mission.

Don’t let mockery mute your mission.

Be the kind of person the world needs even if the world doesn’t understand you.

As of now, the restaurant’s official opening date and location remain under wraps. But one thing is clear: the movement has already begun. And when those doors open, they won’t just be letting in people ,they’ll be letting in hope.

Jaden Smith didn’t wait for approval. He didn’t wait for applause. He saw hunger and responded with love.

Imagine if we all did the same.
