Okay, I think this is the most shocking news I’ve seen in a while! August Alsina sat down with Angela Yee for an in depth interview discussing his new album The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy and boy did he have some tea to spill about his relationship with Jada Pinkett-Smith.
He claims he was in a full blown relationship with Jada who has been married to Will Smith over 20 years. Apparently there have been rumors for years about Jada and August. I’ve not heard said rumors but I am all ears now. And I’m learning that this wasn’t just a fling.
August said he fell in love with Jada. “I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really deeply love and have a ton of love for her. I devoted myself to it, I gave my full self to it — so much so to the point that I can die right now and be okay with knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody.”
“And I really loved a person, I experienced that and I know what that feels like — and some people never get that in this lifetime,” Alsina continued. ” I know that I am completely blessed and this conversation is difficult because it is so much, that it would be hard for people to understand but — once it starts to affect me and my livelihood — I have to speak up about my truth.”
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith have been married for 23 years. And in recent years they have discussed how their relationship is more of a life partnership. They don’t even celebrate their anniversary.
“We don’t really celebrate that day, you know what I’m saying, anymore in that sense, because the context of our union is totally different,” Pinkett Smith said on a new episode of her Facebook Watch series “Red Table Talk,” referring to the marriage as “more of a life partnership.”
August previously released a remix of Kehlani’s track, Nunya. In the video, August is having a text conversation with a woman named Koren. Doesn’t seem weird until you research and learn that Jada’s middle name is Koren. Oh and if that’s not enough to convice you, the video also includes a gif of Jada. So, that is blantantly just in our faces. Some say it was a big PR stunt. And I’d have to agree.
But the most shocking thing about August’s claims in his most recent interview with Anglea Yee is the claim that he sat down with Will to discuss his relationship with Jada.
“I actually sat down with Will [Smith] and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership … he gave me his blessing.”
I don’t know about ya’ll but maybe it sounds like Will and Jada have experienced some unfaithfulness and have just decided that they are going to work through it. Because there is no way on God’s green Earth, I am giving a n y w o m a n permission to be with my man. It just ain’t happening.
Will has said in the past, “We don’t even say we’re married anymore. We refer to ourselves as life partners,” he explained on the show. “Where you get into that space where you realize you are literally with somebody for the rest of your life. There’s no deal breakers. There’s nothing she could do — ever. Nothing that would break our relationship. She has my support till death, you know what I mean, and it feels so good to get to that space where you’re not complaining, and worrying, and demanding that a person be a certain thing.”
And I get the life partner thing. I do. Because marriage is wayyyyy more than society can make it seem. It’s a lifelong commitment. But, I’m sorry MY HUSBAND is just that. Mine. Foreva eva. We about to make our marriage work between the two of us. And that’s on period. Now of course, we’ve only been married 2.5 years and I have no idea what they have been through but I will say with a Christ-centered marriage, there is no way I can see myself allowing anybody except Jesus into our relationship.
But at the end of the day, they have to do what’s best for them, right? If that makes them happy then so be it. Who am I to judge?
What do you guys think about August’s claims? Is he telling the truth? Is he just doing this for clout for his new album? Let’s discuss in the comments.
