August Alsina’s Lover Zu Confirms: He “Is My Boyfriend & We’re Happy”

August Alsina and special friend Zu are a couple, and they finally want everyone to know it.

Full story below…

The pair have been romantically linked ever since the R&B singer introduced the rising artist as his “love” during his stint on reality show ‘Surreal Life.’

Many interpreted the move as Alsina coming out as queer, yet the pair kept the folks guessing. Inseparable, they routinely would pose together suggestively, collaborate on music, and embark on business ventures such as Alsina’s Encina Wellness brand.

And yet, they remained quiet about the exact status of their relationship.

Until now.

In the aftermath of their appearance at ATL Pride Weekend, which saw renewed rumors fly about the union and the age the pair met, Zu took to social media to draw a line in the sand and confirm: “August is my boyfriend.”

“This my first and only time addressing this, I don’t give a fuck about any external validation whatsoever. I don’t need anyone’s likeness, But I’m a grown ass man, with his own mind and free will…if I ever do anything it’s because I want to do it.I met August when I was already of age, an adult. Aug didn’t even know me when I was 16 or 17…not sure where that came from.. yea there’s a slight age difference but y’all pick and chooses who to judge when it comes to that. We will have known each other for 5 years toward the end of the year, so he’s speaking in future terms because that’s where we plan to make it. I know I’m not an internet person and prioritize my peace before anything, and protect my relationship, because the media at times can seep in and tarnish beautiful dynamics.

August is my boyfriend, and we’re happy with each other, simple… But I can see how being quiet, and trying to protect something of value to you, can allow some people to spin the narrative and create a bunch of different scenarios which aren’t true. Aug gives me a GREAT life, & I’m thankful. What yall don’t know is, that I run this relationship…I call the shots, August just shows up and supports me in whatever I want to do. He supports my dream, He IS A DREAM! Nothing is ever forced on either end, hope this clears up any confusion…stay fly”

Alsina took to X in the moments after to slam their critiques and to, himself, set the record straight about the nature of their meeting.

With that, what are…
