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...
