He was the perfect person to be casted as Will. They favor a lot

[@dehjhunaeday5743]

I dont see it but he did a great job.

[@JoshDickens850]

They really do and I feel like his speech cadence is similar 😂

[@TyeArtisik]

Yup

[@JennJennntv]

I loveeeee the show & the fact that Fresh prince was Will's first big break & This was Jabari's , they both from Philly & his real last name is Banks .. mannnnn He was literally destined for this role & I pray his career continues to flourish

[@OptimisticKTV]

I'm so proud of this kid, he's wise beyond his years! You can tell that his parents raised him right because his character just always permeates.

[@lilpeanut50]

He is so gifted in all ways! Best of all the luck with his success moving forward in the future!! 👍🏽 Thumbs up! 😊

[@rell4514]

I thinks so too

[@itsDjjayy]

Afro Latino has to be casted

[@DesiLu4Life]

That was me and my siblings!! Fightin!!

[@theplug3102]

The baby of the siblings is always the Free Spirit one that usually go after the things their passionate about. ( It isn’t the case all the time ) but usually the baby of the siblings are always the one’s that make it out of the “Regular” 9-5 life. We just got BIGGER dreams & not trying to live a basic unfulfilled life. Majority of it is how we see ourselves & if you know you not basic, you not trying to live a basic life. It’s just simple as that. Jasmine was definitely flirting with bro.

[@MicahMane]

Lmao nah bro for me it's the other way around. I'm the oldest and the thing is I realized early that you have to make money in order to change a dream to a career path. I could never have been a writer if I was the youngest and thought talent was enough

[@theplug3102]

@@MicahMane Who said that’s bro mindset though? That’s clearly your mindset so already you thinking like a true 9-5. Any person knows it takes money to make money. It’s about establishing yourself and putting yourself in position to invest in things that will set you up for your future and generations to come. There’s nothing wrong with a 9-5 we all start somewhere. It’s about how you go about it & the moves you make. There’s plenty people that have went after their dreams and was literally broke the next minute. It has nothing to do with any of that. Even in my original comment I stated “ This isn’t the case all the time “ so you chose to only respond to the part that made you feel that way. It’s all respect at the end of the day though. I want everybody to win at whatever they are passionate about. 🔥 We still need the Doctors, Nurses, Firefighters, 911 Operators in the world + more. I appreciate everyone for the important role they play in our lives.

[@MicahMane]

@@theplug3102 Nah bro you misunderstood. I'm the oldest and I'm saying that my younger siblings are the ones that think they have to just work. I realized that I have to work but just to fund my passions until they started making money for me like my writing. Idk what you were going on about but yeah 😂

[@theplug3102]

@@MicahMane No. Just look at what you wrote. You said ( For me it’s the other way around , I could never have that mindset if I was the youngest ) where in this were you speaking about your siblings other than what you just wrote? You simply replied to me saying “ It’s usually the baby sibling that go after their passion “ right here you already implied that you couldn’t of had that mindset if you were the “ Baby “ of the group. So I replied to that. I wasn’t saying anything that you didn’t say 1st. Even the comment you said “ I could never be a writer if I was the youngest & thought talent was enough “ If that’s how you’re mindset is then that’s you. It doesn’t take away from anyone else that are the baby & already have a mindset passed the 9-5 epidemic. Everything else I stated was simply me reminding ppl that there’s nothing wrong with working a 9-5 & that everyone plays an important role. It’s just common sense at the end of the day. A lot of ppl lack that though. It’s no hard feelings.

He doesn't know what his brothers are doing? 😂

You know how you can tell pos casters are doing the Bear-Minimum? When they don’t know anything about a guest’s past work in the field they currently perform in. 🤦🏾‍♂️🗑️

[@Knight93King]

He’s talented and the show is fuckin amazing! ….. He needs to call Michael B Jordan, about that #StaticShock role.

[@AllThoughtsActual]

He could also be a good Miles Morales and Cyborg based in the young Justice universe. He should talk to Gunn about getting in on that new universe and adapt Cyborg’s story from YJ. In his next chapter he could have a Titans/YJ type team with him, BB, and Damien with Nightwing as the leader
