Alsina’s 2019 track <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/2019\/04\/why-people-think-august-alsina-singing-about-jada-pinkett-nunya\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">“Nunya”<\/a> fueled the speculation, as he included the lines: “You got me feeling like it was an act, you’re just an actress\/Putting on a show ’cause you don’t want the world to know.” The track’s official video also featured a shot of a text message from a love interest listed as “Koren,” which just so happens to be Jada’s birth-given middle name.<\/p>\n<p>Alsina would go on to deny the relationship rumors and insisted\u00a0“Nunya” was not about the actress.<\/p>\n<p>“To Clarity, The Song is not about Jada. It\u2019s simply JUST A SONG , & a free artistic expression of a made up narrative already put in place by its ORIGINAL format,” he wrote on Instagram, as reported by<em> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/august-alsina-denies-jada-pinkett-smith-nunya\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">XXL<\/a><\/em>.\u00a0“Thankyou for all of your love around the music & more is to come but please know that Me & my BEST (@jadapinkettsmith )are good!!! & We will always be, 4Life!”<\/p>\n<p>Alsina is now changing his tune.<\/p>\n<p>During\u00a0a recent interview with\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/complex.com\/tag\/angela-yee\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Angela Yee<\/a>, the singer\u00a0claimed he and Jada were romantically involved, and that he only decided to speak his truth in an effort to clear his name.<\/p>\n<section class=\"suitcase-ad\"\/>\n<p>“People can have whatever ideas that they like. But what I’m not OK with is my character being in question …” he said at around the 16:30 mark. “Contrary to what some people may believe, I’m not a troublemaker. I don’t like drama. Drama actually makes me nauseous. I also don’t think that it’s ever important for people to know what I do, who I sleep with, who I date, right?\u00a0But in this instance, there are so many people who are side-eyeing me … I’ve lost money, friendships, relationships behind it. And I think it’s because people don’t necessarily know the truth. But I’ve never done anything wrong. I love those people (the Smiths) … They are beautiful people.”<\/p>\n<p>Alsina went on to say the relationship wasn’t a secret affair, and that\u00a0he had discussed\u00a0the situation with Jada’s husband, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/complex.com\/tag\/will-smith\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Will Smith<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>“I actually sat down with Will and had\u00a0a conversation … He gave me his blessing,” he said. “And I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really, deeply loved and have a ton of love for her (Jada). I devoted myself to it. I gave my full self to it. So much so that I can die right now, and be OK knowing that I fully gave myself to somebody … Some people never get that in this lifetime.”<\/p>\n<section class=\"suitcase-ad\"\/>\n<p>He continued: “This conversation is difficult because [it’s] hard for people to understand. But once it starts to affect me and my livelihood, I have to speak up about my truth … Walking away from it butchered me … It almost killed me. Not almost. It did\u2014it pushed me into being another person … It broke me down … It probably will be the hardest thing I ever had to experience in this lifetime. It’s difficult because I never want to be the person to cause confusion or step on toes, but I want to honor myself and I want to honor my authenticity. And if honoring my authenticity means you hate me, stone me, shoot me, crucify me, whatever, bury me an honest man.”<\/p>\n<p>You can watch the full interview above.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>This story is being updated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/2020\/07\/august-alsina-speaks-on-rumored-relationship-jada-pinkett-smith-says-will-smith-gave-blessing\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>August Alsina\u00a0is getting candid about\u00a0alleged romance\u00a0with\u00a0Jada Pinkett Smith.
