What’s up you guys?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News
and gather round everyone because the tea
is HOT right now between the Pinkett-Smiths
and August Alsina.
Jada Pinkett Smith is denying August Alsina’s
claims that Will Smith gave his "blessing"
for their extra marital relationship.
Alright, so here’s what went down.
August Alsina made headlines this week after
his interview with The Breakfast Club's Angela
Yee was posted on YouTube.
They mostly discussed his new album during
the hour long sit down, but the rumors about
him dating Jada also came up.
“What was the real situation with Jada Pinkett
Smith cause I don’t know if you were pursuing
her or if you guys just had a close family
type of relationship.”
And August took the opportunity to share his
side of the story and clear the air for everyone
who was questioning him and his morals due
to these rumors.
“Here’s what I’ll say.
People can have whatever ideas that they like,
but what I'm not ok with is my character being
in question, when certain things are questionable
that I know is not me or that I know I haven't
done.”
He continued on and said “Contrary to what
some people 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”
And because of all of this, August said that
he’s quote, “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."
August has hinted at a relationship with Jada
in the past on a few occasions, specifically
in his song “Nunya” where there are some
subtle references to her.
But he said that he decided to finally share
his truth because his mental health and well
being were being affected.
He said quote, “I actually sat down with
Will and had a conversation due to the transformation
from their marriage to life partnership that
they've spoken on several times and it not
involving romanticism.”
And in case you don’t know what August is
talking about, while Will and Jada have been
going strong for well over two decades now,
their relationship has been plagued by rumours
that they have an open relationship.
In 2018, Will explained why he and Jada use
the term "life partners" when referring to
their union as opposed to "married."
He said quote, “We don't even say we're
married anymore.
We refer to ourselves as life partners, where
you get into that space where you realize
you are literally with somebody for the rest
of your life.
There's no deal breakers.
There's nothing she could do -- ever.”
And Jada has been open on her show Red Table
Talk about not agreeing with the construct
of marriage.
So while their relationship may be a bit unconventional,
one thing is clear, they have each other’s
backs.
So August caught many fans’ attention when
in his recent interview, he said that Will
gave him permission to have a relationship
with Jada.
“He gave me his blessing 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.”
August went on and spoke about his alleged
relationship with Jada saying quote “I devoted
myself to it.
I gave my full self to it so much so to the
point that I can die right now and be ok with
knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody.”
And he revealed why he’s tried to stay quiet
about the relationship for so long saying,
“I never want to be the person to cause
confusion because I love these people.
I really genuinely do and I have literally
never been in love in that kind of a way,
so much so that being intertwined in that
way — walking away from it butchered me.”
He further said that the alleged split "probably
will be the hardest thing that I've ever experienced
in this lifetime."
And since August’s public statements about
being romantically involved with Jada, TMZ
and Page Six have reported that Jada's reps
have called the claims "absolutely not true.”
Her team went as far as telling TMZ that quote
“the whole thing is made up.”
And fans are taking to Twitter to call Jada
out, saying that August is telling the truth.
One person wrote quote, “Bruh she lying
about this.
He had already shown receipts back in 2015.”
Another shared this Red Table Talk meme and
wrote quote, “Exactly.
Come Now Jada Lets Be Honest”
And this fan wrote quote, “Sure, whatever
you say Jada!”
But others tried not to take sides on this
drama like this person who wrote quote, “I
think the truth is somewhere in the middle:
I think he did sleep with her once or twice
but it wasn't a lengthy affair.
I think he developed feelings after the sex
and she didn't.
He fell in love but she wasn't impressed & likely
deleted his phone number long ago.”
And this fan Tweeted that Jada’s denial
doesn’t really matter writing quote, “August
knew she would deny but he is at peace with
it .. his consciousness won’t be bothered,
can’t say the same for her.
We good #AugustWeBelieveYou”
So clearly Twitter has a lot to say about
all of this, but despite what Jada’s team
had to say, it seems like most people think
August is telling the truth.
I don’t know about you, but I feel like
a Red Table Talk episode about this is definitely
in the works right about now...
