Smith made her acting debut in the 2007 film I Am Legend alongside her father, and later appeared in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl with Abigail Breslin. In 2010, Smith launched her music career with the platinum-certified single "Whip My Hair", which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. That same year, Smith signed to her mentor Jay-Z's record label Roc Nation, becoming the youngest artist signed to the label. The following year, she released the singles "21st Century Girl" and "Fireball" (featuring Nicki Minaj).

Smith's debut album, Ardipithecus (2015) explored neo soul. Its single "Wait a Minute!" was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Her second and third albums, The 1st (2017) and Willow (2019) followed after and were met with positive reception. Smith began co-hosting the Facebook Watch talk show Red Table Talk in 2018 with her mother Jada and grandmother Adrienne, which has earned her two NAACP Image Awards and two Daytime Emmy Award nominations. In 2021, Smith released her fourth album Lately I Feel Everything, which spawned the single "Transparent Soul", which was certified gold in the US. Later that year, she earned another top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single "Meet Me at Our Spot" as part of The Anxiety with Tyler Cole. In 2022, Smith released her fifth album, Coping Mechanism. In 2023, she released the single "Alone."
