August Alsina Opens Up About His Romance With Jada Pinkett Smith
August Alsina is opening up about alleged romance with Jada Pinkett Smith.
Relationship rumours have swirled around the pair for quite some time, with some convinced that Alsina and Jada had a secret affair. Alsina's 2019 track "Nunya" 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.
Alsina would go on to deny the relationship rumours and insisted "Nunya" was not about the actress.
"To Clarity, The Song is not about Jada. It’s 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 XXL. "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!"
Alsina is now changing his tune.
During a recent interview with Angela Yee, the singer claimed he and Jada were romantically involved, and that he only decided to speak his truth in an effort to clear his name.
Alsina went on to say the relationship wasn't a secret affair, and that he had discussed the situation with Jada's husband, Will Smith.
