Despite having racked up awards and critical acclaim for hits found aboard his first two albums, 2014’s ‘Testimony‘ and 2015’s ‘This Thing Called Life,’ a little thing called an ‘entanglement‘ still haunts R&B singer August Alsina as the defining moment of his career.

So much so, he recently told the press that he passed on reality TV opportunities multiple times before finally saying yes to the forthcoming reboot of VH1’s ‘The Surreal Life’ – the infamous ‘Real World’-inspired unscripted venture that houses a group of celebrities under one roof for two weeks to chronicle the drama that unfolds.

Taking to ‘ET,’ Alsina not only dished openly about the experience of sharing a home with basketball legend Dennis Rodman, comedienne-actress Kim Coles, award-winning R&B singer-songwriter Tamar Braxton, actor Frankie Muniz, and other celebs but also talked about how the revived series will showcase his life post-drama with Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Cop a gander of Nicki Minaj!

The Rap royal makes for an arresting sight on the cover of Interview Magazine‘s Fall 2022 issue.

This year has been a roller coaster for the femcee, who has unleashed a wave of new music and continued to climb to higher heights in her career. Case in point landing her first solo #1 on the Hot 100 with this summer’s ‘Super Freaky Girl.’
