Rumors of an Affair between Jada Pinkett Smith and singer August Alsina have circulated since the release of Alsina’s song ‘Nunya,’ in 2019.
While the singer originally denied the allegations stating the song was not about Jada on Tuesday, he recanted his statement.
in an exclusive interview with Angela Yee, Alsina explained how the allegations of the affair have affected him on a level much deeper than just emotionally.
“People can have whatever ideas they like. But what I’m not OK with is my character being in question …” he stated, “But 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. ”
He stated that the two allegedly had an ongoing romance with the blessing of Jada’s husband, Will Smith.
“I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation … He gave me his blessing,” Alsina claimed.
Yee questioned the artist stating, “Is it disappointing that (Jada) never addressed it to you, because like you said, you lost out on opportunities?”
Alsina responded, “I really can’t even get into the thought of that because I am only responsible for myself.”
The singer praised the Smith family stating, “I love those people like my family. I don’t have a bad thing to say about them. They are beautiful people.”
The interview also touched on Alsina’s autoimmune disease, his upcoming album and the loss of his sister, Chandra, who died of cancer in 2018.
