I've loved Jason Weaver since I was child. He's one of the few child stars who didn't get ruined.

This man has done so much in his 43 years of living. He has the resume of someone who has been around for 25 extra years

This is one of my favorite episodes. The experience, the history, the amazing storytelling by Jason Weaver is phenomenal. I've been a fan of Jason all my life just like most of his fans. I think this platform is the first platform where I have heard his story and journey. Especially being told so sincerely. He definitely deserved his flowers and these guys gave him the well deserved flowers he needed.

This interview could have went on for hours, and I would have sat and watched every minute of it. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

As a kid born and raised in Chicago, Jason Weaver- Love’s Ambition is mandatory. Every stepper’s set, skating rink R&B close out (when they play R&B to bring the spot down to shoot yo last shot at that girl or to kick everybody out), family get together, any party, etc. it’s played. Chicago has loved and will always love Jason. He represents the Chicago that you don’t see.

From Drumline, Smart Guy, Thea, Jackson 5 family movie, Lion King, ATL, Summertime Switch...the list is Long when it comes to Jason Weaver and his accomplishments and One Call Away with Chingy Is my shit too💯💯

This interview was everything!! Being from Chicago, Jason is a hometown legend. Found out so many things from this interview. I remember that McDonald’s commercial and to find out that is his mom, is so
dope!!! Salute black kings!!!

Great great interview. Jason is very articulate and his storytelling is phenomenal. I love how everyone was engaged the entire time. No awkward pauses. Jason is definitely a living legend who shaped my childhood, both Smart Guy and Lion King were so impactful to the culture ❤ Glad he’s getting all his flowers while he can smell them. Well deserved!!

I don't think everyone fully understands how big it is to play the original young Simba.... AND young Michael Jackson.

And his parents were smart enough to not take a regular check. They negotiated royalties. His great-grandkids are set up for life. The (original) Lion King is Disney's highest selling movie of all time.

@javonlattimore2444 3 years ago

Good to hear Jason Weaver is around and still accomplishing goals.I like his personality and like how he is not so flashy with his style.

Clayton too funny “… I was worried about her.. but she came up on top” 😂😂 That’s how you know he watched Thea.

I'm glad this man is getting his flowers and none other than the 85 South Collective to share this moment! These experiences are so necessary for our community and I'm here and supporting!!
