After coming out that he was in a relationship with Jada, he said he was hurt when Jada moved on back to her husband, Will Smith. He claimed that he gave his all and that he had never been in love till he met Jada.

He said all these in June 2020,  in an interview  with Angela Yee, the host of the show, Breakfast Club

“I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and deeply love and have a ton of love for her. I devoted myself to it, I gave my full self to it. So much that I can die right now, and be OK knowing that I fully gave myself to somebody … Some people never get that in their lifetime.”

 

The first time August made this claim, Jada denied it. She later came out to say that indeed, she was in a relationship with the New Orleans native singer and that at that time, she and her husband were separated. 

For years, August Alsina kept his relationship with Jada, a secret. While speaking with People, he said he was a very private person and that people don’t really know much about his love life. But as the rumours of him having an affair with Jada started to mess with his career, he felt he needed to speak up. At that time the RnB singer was 27 and the actress, Jada, was 48.

Austin August Alsina Jr. is an American singer from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was born on the 3rd of September 1992. He is currently rumoured to be dating the actress, Regina Hall. He is 29 and will be 30 by September.

You can clearly see the age difference and Jada was married with grown-up kids

so you can imagine how their relationship broke the internet and the heart of her husband. Although August claimed that Will and Jada were in an open relationship and Will gave him his blessings, it still looked like Will was extremely hurt. 

The singer also said that leaving the relationship wasn’t easy for him. He said it ‘killed’ him and ‘butchered’ him.

“Walking away from it butchered me … It almost killed me. Not almost. It did—it 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 honour myself and I want to honour my authenticity. And if honouring my authenticity means you hate me, stone me, shoot me, crucify me, whatever, bury me as an honest man.”

On July 10, 2020, on the Red Table Talk Show Jada and her husband, Will disclosed that they were having issues. There, Jada denied Alsina’s claims of him saying he asked her husband for his blessings before involving himself romantically with her. She called the situation an Entanglement.  After much persuasion by Will who agreed that it was more than an entanglement, she finally agreed that it was a Relationship. Will said that he really thought they were over and Jada replied saying they were over. 

 

Will and Jada Smith have been married since the 31st of December, 1997. That is over a decade.

Alsina said he was so sorry if he had wrecked their home and that he didn’t mean to cause he had a lot of respect for Will Smith. He also admitted that he wasn’t sorry for telling the truth. Pinkett also said that he was not a homewrecker because when they were in a relationship, she was amicably separated from her husband. 

The couples had decided to go their separate ways for some time and find whatever makes them happy.

Well, he didn’t wreck their home because the couples spoke about how they have reached a level of unconditional love for each other and their family. 

 

Not long after Jada called her Relationship with the young singer, August an Entanglement, He released a song titled Entanglement.  

Though the song received backlashes that August was just a clout chaser, he replied to them by saying,

“It was cool when people were able to use it as a mockery of me, like, ‘Oh, you’re an entanglement,’ When I flipped it, it became a problem for people. Like, ‘Oh, you’re clout-chasing.’ I’m just doing business. It’s not personal.”

 

Recently, sometime on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, Alsina released the song ‘Shake The World’  and people believe the song is addressing his relationship with Jada. People have given bad reviews about it saying August should move on and that he came out like a victim. A fan wrote,

“Boy that new song trash. This is a bad look. You’re not a victim in this. You made a DECISION to sleep with another man’s WIFE and now that it’s time to reap you wanna put these people’s business out there instead of admitting that wasn’t P and owning your #WillSmith.” August gave him a reply.

We can’t say whether or not August has healed from the entanglement or is still in the process of healing. The only thing I can tell is, Entanglement sometimes messes with your mental health. This is because one person is most times giving their all and then there is a violation of their love, trust and loyalty, unlike in a relationship where both partners are committed.  Don’t go into a relationship that’s going to mess with your mental health in any way.
