Silver Spoons

Straight off ComplexCon, CJ Wallace and Jae’Won Phillips tap in with Jae Tips to talk sneaker culture, his next chapter with Nike, the art of creating hype, and building a brand that speaks for itself. From his larger-than-life ComplexCon booth to reimagining iconic Nike silhouettes, Jae gives us a look into his creative process, the pressure of leveling up, and what it takes to keep the culture tapped in.

They get into sneaker drops, the resale game, staying true to your taste, and why community will always be bigger than the hype. From the booth to the blueprint, it’s all about trusting your vision, knowing your worth, and making every move count. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

A famous last name comes with access but it also comes with expectations. On Episode 6 of the Silver Spoons Podcast, CJ Wallace and Jaewon sit down with Blake “Blizzy” son of William “Worldwide Wes” Wesley, and Tai Strickland, son of NBA legend Rod Strickland, at Only One / WOODstack in Flatbush, Brooklyn. From Drake picking Blake up from school to Tai watching Derrick Rose put in work at Memphis,
the guys share stories about growing up around greatness—and the pressure of figuring out their own paths. Blake and Tai also break down Sideline OS, the basketball platform they’re building to help players understand the game, and how they’re turning their experiences in sports, coaching, design, and technology into a shared vision. The conversation gets personal as they discuss life after college and basketball, mental health, therapy, family expectations, and why having opportunities doesn’t mean you have everything figured out.

Does having a famous parent automatically mean you grew up rich? And why are grown adults still being called “celebrity kids”? On Episode 5 of Silver Spoons, CJ Wallace and Jaewon pull up to More & More Records in Newark, NJ, for an unfiltered conversation about family, fame, and building an identity beyond your last name. From a hilarious debate about Juice to the pressure placed on Bronny James, the guys revisit lessons from their conversations with Shareef O’Neal, The Rule Fam, and Noah Styles. Jaewon breaks down the assumptions people make about growing up as Jadakiss’ son—and why his younger siblings are getting a very different version of his parents.

They also debate Bow Wow’s legacy, reflect on the mothers and grandparents who held everything together, and get honest about understanding their upbringing as adults and the kind of fathers they want to become.

What’s it really like growing up as Styles P’s son? Noah Styles joins CJ Wallace and Jaewon for Episode 4 of Silver Spoons to talk about the man behind the music, working since age 15, and building his own identity beyond his father’s name. From an unforgettable first day of jiu-jitsu to rock climbing without ropes, Noah shares how he found his own passions—and why Styles P’s advice to “be a leader, not a follower” stuck with him.

The conversation also gets personal as Noah opens up about losing his sister, grieving publicly, and the influence she still has on his life. Plus, the guys discuss the family business, going vegan, nepotism, and why supporting your children shouldn’t erase the work they put in.

From his viral high school basketball highlights to UCLA, LSU, and the G League, Shareef reflects on his basketball journey, the difficult road back after heart surgery, and why he ultimately decided to move on. He also breaks down his sneaker designs, the personal meaning behind his open-heart logo, and his vision for the Shaq brand.

Are celebrity kids really handed everything? In the first episode of Silver Spoons, Jae’Won, son of Jadakiss, and CJ Wallace, son of The Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans, take on the “nepo baby” label head-on, and get real about legacy, pressure, privilege, and what people on the outside never see.

The guys break down the actual definition of nepotism and whether it applies to them, the NBA’s new era of second-generation stars, and what it was like growing up around Biggie’s legacy, Faith Evans’ studio sessions in Atlanta, and the Ruff Ryders era in Yonkers. Jae’Won drops a hot take on Ready to Die that CJ is NOT having, they go track-by-track through Biggie and Jadakiss albums, and pick their favorite songs and R&B features from their dads. Plus, survivor’s guilt, getting profiled in luxury stores, being the family’s “ace in the hole,” starting therapy, a birthday arrest story, and whether their spoon was silver… or platinum.
