Jada Pinkett Smith’s affair with singer August Alsina exposed in new song
Jada Pinkett Smith’s ex-lover has shared the twisted details of their extramarital “entanglement” in another blow to Will Smith.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s former sweetheart is singing like a canary.
August Alsina, the R & B vocalist with whom Pinkett Smith, 50, admittedly shared an extramarital “entanglement,” appears to be exhuming the twisted details of their since-bedded relationship in a new song, “Shake the World”.
“Well, of course some s*** is bound to go down when you tangled up with the world’s favourite,” Alsina, 29, sings on the track, which he teased via his verified Instagram profile Monday.
His controversial lyrics come amid the chaos sparked by Pinkett Smith’s husband of nearly three decades, Will Smith, 53, who infamously slapped comedian Chris Rock, 57, for teasing the actress about her short hair during the Oscars on March 27.
Elsewhere in the ditty, Alsina — who forged an extremely close and public bond with Pinkett Smith in 2015, and openly confessed to their romantic relationship in 2020 — also makes reference to getting cancelled after the leading lady confirmed their affair, alongside a crestfallen Smith, on her Facebook series “Red Table Talk,” in July 2020.
“I heard I was cancelled,” croons the musician on the track. “Well, let’s not speak on that. Red dot on my back, I became a target. And I’m flawed but flawless, that’s what makes me August.”
Digital detectives on Twitter were immediately able to decode Alsina’s not-so-cryptic lyrics, and are calling him out for reigniting the old flames of his and Pinkett Smith’s fling.
“If, August Alsina, don’t let that entanglement GO! Damn! That’s probably why she ain’t
f***ing with you now talking like a Barbie!,” scolded one cyber naysayer.
“I said it once & I’ll say it again. August Alsina moving like a hurt side chick,” agreed another. “Anybody still feeling sorry for him is stupid. He knew what he was doing & he spoke out with ill intentions because Jada went back to Will. Point blank period.”
So far, neither Smith nor Pinkett Smith has commented on Alsina’s latest release.
The singer has spoken openly about his time with Pinkett Smith.
“I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really deeply love and have a ton of love for her,” Alsina said on The Breakfast Club morning show in 2020.
A month later, Will and Jada took to her Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk to admit it.
“I was done with your ass,” Will told her.
“We broke up,” Jada said. “We were over.”
She went on to admit that she had been in “a relationship” with Alsina but that she didn’t consider it a “transgression” because she and Will were on a break at the time.
Then, in September 2021, Will told GQ that their relationship had evolved beyond monogamy and that the two had “given each other trust and freedom” within their union because marriage “can’t be a prison”.
He added: “Jada never believed in conventional marriage.”
