ROSÉ of BLACKPINK Addresses Jaden Smith Dating Rumors & Whether ‘Toxic Till the End’ Is About Him

ROSÉ of BLACKPINK had no choice but to get honest about her relationship with Jaden Smith in a new interview with Vanity Fair.

While hooked up to a lie-detector test for the Thursday (Jan. 16) episode of the publication’s web series, the K-pop star first addressed whether her song “Toxic Till the End” is about the Karate Kid star — with whom she’s previously been spotted hanging out. The track — which appears on ROSÉ’s December debut album rosie — finds the performer singing about a manipulative ex who was “jealous and possessive.”

“No, it’s not about Jaden Smith,” ROSÉ clarified, passing the lie detector’s assessment with flying colors. “He’s a good friend, though.”

“Hi, Jaden,” she added, waving to the camera. “Miss you lots.”

The musician was then asked point-blank if she and Smith have ever dated, to which she gave a straightforward “no.” When the test administrator quickly confirmed that she was telling the truth, ROSÉ nodded and laughed.

“Toxic Till the End” became ROSÉ’s third Billboard Hot 100 entry in December, reaching No. 90 on the chart. rosie also spawned the girl group star’s first-ever top 10 hit with Bruno Mars duet “APT.,” which peaked at No. 5 earlier this month.

When the “Locked Out of Heaven” hitmaker and ROSÉ first announced in October that they had a collaboration in the works, Mars revealed on Instagram that the song’s title had been inspired by a Korean drinking game his duet partner had taught him one night. “Soon after, she tried to kiss me, and I was like ‘woah Rosie! what part of the game is this?’” he wrote at the time, to which ROSÉ replied, “what’s wrong with uuuu.”

To VF, ROSÉ confirmed that she, in fact, never tried to kiss him. “He’s a liar,” she said, laughing. “Bruno Mars is a liar.”
