After years of swirling rumors, singer August Alsina – via an interview with Angela Yee – has confirmed he had a love affair with Jada Pinkett Smith. As if that wasn’t enough to get tongues wagging, the 27-year-old singer says her Academy Award-nominated husband, Will Smith, allegedly gave the relationship his blessing.
In the interview (published June 30), Alsina said:
“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.”
Reportedly introduced to Pinkett, 48, in 2015 by her son Jaden, Alsina detailed how he and the actress became so close he fell in love with her.
“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.”
That’s not all he said. See the interview that has everyone talking.
Start at 16:54:
During the emotional interview, the singer-songwriter broke down in tears while he detailed struggles with the loss of his sister, health failures, and raising his three nieces alone. But, the commentary on Jada will undoubtedly be the standout as he seemingly confirmed the longstanding rumor the two were romantically involved.
While reps for Pinkett say Alsina’s claims are “absolutely not true,” she has not directly spoken out about his allegations.
August Alsina’s new album, “The Product III:stateofEMERGEncy,” was released June 26.
Now we all know that Augustine is sickly, but why would he do an interview and expose that if it wasn’t true? I believe him. I think Jada is only denying it because the agreement was that it stayed private (between will, Jada, and Augustine)
It has long been rumored that The Smiths have a different kind of marriage. So the relationship between August, and Jada does not seem far fetched.
If anything That’s good Will allowed Jada to be with August, I hope she still allows him to be with Duane Martin…. allegedly! How you doin’!?
Ur a messy girl….🤣🤣
he not messy for saying that because it’s true.
just the how you doing needs to go because it’s 2020
everyone gay until proven straight
The tea is, august was sleeping with will also..allegedly . Lol
Will Smith is gay. Everybody knows it
August comes across as very authentic… Try again Jada
This is old gossip but still juicy regardless.
I could care less if Jad and Will have an open marriage.
What makes this situation look bad for Jada is the fact that she flaunted her relationship w/ August as a mentor or mother/son type of bond on Red Table Talk.
He discussed his tragic upbringing in New Orleans, drug addiction, health issues etc
She KNEW how messed up this young man’s journey in life has been.
Then on top.of it all, he said Will gave him the BLESSING… lololol
They should have made August sign a NDA or something because this is embarrassing Chile!
It’s COULDN’T* care less
If you COULD care less, it means you care. Dummy
Are you seriously playing grammar nazi on That Grape Juice?!?!
And then proceed to call me a ‘dummy’ like you’re 8 years old or something, as if a typo on a music/gossip blog is indicative of a person’s intelligence?! 🤣🤣
The jokes write themselves on here.
SH!T!! This is some HOT ASS TEA! 😆 I can’t imagine August Alsina lying about ANYTHING to be honest. So this will be an interesting turn out. Lol. I wonder will Jada bring his comments to the red table talk. And because he obviously felt or feels so passionately about what him and Jada had, i wonder will he lash out at her denying this alleged rumor.
He was vulnerable and she lowkey took advantage, she was trying to put him back together might have let him hit it….he fell in love she realised she f***** up and it was becoming a hot ass mess. Will and Jada have an agreement yes but neither are allowed to develop any deep feelings for any side partners they might get. Somebody always gets hurt in this types of arrangements 🤷🏽♀️
Why did he have to tell everybody though? Just because he has new music out???
This! My thoughts exactly. He should have not made this public info. Just to sell some music.
whats with hair?
