The Internet is still buzzing over Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars on Sunday (March 27). Celebrities, athletes, musicians and more have chimed in on the drama, but there’s one person who many have been waiting to hear from given his history with the Smith family.
R&B singer August Alsina had an affair with Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett in 2016, an “entanglement” that he later claimed had Will’s consent. The messy situation opened the door for all kinds of jokes about Smith’s unconventional marriage, with some believing it was the catalyst behind the Fresh Prince losing his cool at the Academy Awards.
August Alsina Says Will Smith Gave His Blessing For Sexual Relationship With Jada Pinkett Smith
On Tuesday (March 29), Alsina hopped on Instagram to seemingly reflect on the slap heard ’round the world and joined the chorus of people calling for nonviolence. According to the singer, people need to trust the universe in putting the pieces of their respective puzzles together.
“Choose peace,” Alsina wrote. “Trusting that life’s intricate puzzle pieces are all forming together for the greater good and mastering of the seasonally sometime chaotic nature of your life’s art piece that’s being formed and painted by birthing life to your internal masterpiece; grown through external chaos-metamorphosing alchemy, dark turned 2 light and beauty within.”
He continued, “I’m A Walking Billboard & Network Simply Desiring To Televise & Broadcast Love, the love, grace and healing embrace of God, Good Music that’s healing (w/ a lil bit of nasty) (cus the art of sharing temples can too be healing).
“My Nola mixed w/ My H-Town background of Top Tier DRIP & FLAVA & bag secure abundantly for the ones i love while trying to keep a clean heart out here. DassIT!!”
The “I Luv This Shit” crooner returned shortly after with another Instagram post referencing Tyler Perry’s Madea character brandishing a gun and calling it a “peacemaker.”
“For those of them in the back that like to solve aLgEbRa eQuAtIoNs & mOrSe codes,” August wrote. “Jesus is a peace maker, so sit still bul’! Lol aight I’m done trollin… I love y’all.”
Jada Pinkett also broke her silence on Will Smith’s Oscars slap on Tuesday, posting a simple yet somewhat cryptic message on Instagram that read “This is a season for healing. And I’m here for it.”
August Alsina’s affair with Jada Pinkett remains one of the most shocking celebrity stories of the last few years. The Smiths welcomed the singer into their home while he was battling personal issues, and eventually August and Jada developed a relationship that turned sexual.
The 29-year-old went public with the affair in 2020 and claimed Will Smith was cool with it. However, that didn’t seem to be true as Will and Jada admitted they were privately separated at the time.
1. That crunchy bullshit makes no sense
2. No place commenting on this situation
He saying he would of shot Will of he slapped him… cowards bring guns to a rock fight
I agree well said
I agree, I too suffer with alopecia, it’s common in black women, that’s why there are weaves and wigs. Jada you are pure evil ? and you have emasculated Will until he doesn’t even know who he is. Will you are small and tired and you are not worthy of a standing ovation. Your kids and both of you need some serious therapy! How could the people at the Oscars let this happen? Chris deserves the Oscar he is a class act.
I have lost total respect for the Smiths. What kind of message is being sent about their lifestyle to younger generations that look up to them. And my word Jada, I too have hair loss. Get a wig if you don’t want comments and jokes made. I’m sure this one wasn’t the first. You won’t see my family ever seeing another Smith movie. I guess money doesn’t buy class.
Have a seat Kathy
You absolutely right
Make sure you don’t watch Jim Carey he sexually assaulted Alicia siverstone on tv. Don’t watch Quinton Tarinto movies he said some things about underage girls on Howard stern. Don’t support Zoe kravitz because she made inappropriate comments about wanting jaden who is will smith son when he was only 14 on Twitter and there is video evidence she was 24 by the way so make sure you don’t watch the new Batman. Don’t support mark walberg he has to felony hate crimes under his belt even threw rocks at little kids. Don’t support Alec Baldwin he shot that lady and wants no responsibility. All of these statements are facts and not opinions that can be looked up and verified if you want. The point is the poster child for perfection for thirty damn years makes one mistake and everyone is high and mighty. This is America and everyone is in a glass house throwing stones!!!
I don’t care about other people business and I don’t think ? it anybody business weather they tell their business or not
My only concern is things that concern me that’s benefit to me and that is our democracy voting rights Social Security Medicare Medicaid and bills that need to be passed in Congress!!

He should’ve slapped her and her lover. Why would you jump up slap somebody overcome it when you were letting things go on with your wife. Messed up Will Smith
Exactly! But you gonna take all your built up emotions out on a comedian, when your silly A$$ was sitting there laughing right along with the rest of them til she rolled her eyes. ?
Exactly!
I will never watch another Smith movie! It was so obvious that Will felt compelled to do or say something while laughing @ the joke! He looked @ his wife & realized “he needed to prove his love for her by doing something”. I don’t think he really wanted to do it but Jada wants to see her complete control over him. That’s how she feels love by control!

Don’t forget Joaquin Phoenix!! He assaulted HALLE BERRY and all we got from White America was CRICKETS!!
Smith should of been taken out of the building. If he can’t act like an adult why let him stay. Violence just creates violence. What is this saying to todays youth, they need to know violence isn’t the answer. This is so small and petty on Smiths part. At least Chris Rock had the good sense to act like an adult. Smith is obviously going through mental health issues. He should be sued for an enormous amount of money and not allowed in any public venues and maybe he’ll realize right from wrong. What message did he send to his children?? Very dysfunction!!!!!
He should have not only been escorted out of the building, but not been able to accept his award either, and the standing ovation part is beyond me smdh ??♀️. Him and his raggedy wife should’ve been escorted out!
Very true Ruby. And, if she should be so upset about Alopecia or even worse Will be so upset about it why doesn’t she wear wigs like all the other millions of people that have it. Including the whites who were left out by it being made a race problem. Only black women have hair issues, now that is a joke. We have to buy products to keep our hair too!!!!! Especially all women who suffered through cancer like my 20 year old daughter who died at 24. Those actors have all the money they would ever need but still not happy. I would rather have my daughter bald and alive than in the ground with hair.
The Smiths are garbage
Jada is trash and it just got to Will finally. Unfortunately Chris was in wrong place , wrong time
“My Nola mixed w/ My H-Town background of Top Tier DRIP & FLAVA & bag secure abundantly” – literally how someone talk out their asshole when they deeply in love with the aroma of their own shit. Normal people don’t talk like this. Congratulations, you’re free. Idiot
it is history now ffs. you people be carrying on like he is a good friend.
For years when we talked about the Oscars it was always #Oscarsowhite.
For once it was also a celebration of black achievement, Samuel L Jackson got his first Oscar! did anyone remember that?
What about Questloves’s time to shine? Naw, Will shamed all black men by acting exactly how racist white people see us. For years and years to come, every racist white will point to this and say no matter how much money they make, look at how they behave! I could never imagine Sidney doing this or Denzel or Morgan. I can’t believe Will did that. I’m disgusted! How dare he hit another black man, live on tv too! He committed assault and literally got away with it. The REALLY crappy part about all this is that Will should have slapped August, after all, this was just cuck rage. He wife slept around, the world made fun of him and he needed to show off like hes the man. Except, he’s a beta cuck.
Don’t dwell on sh!t like this it’ll give you cancer up your @$$. Okay? 1
Here’s the thing one black person doesn’t represent the WHOLE Race!! No other people does this. Whites don’t give an F about the past nor what their ancestors did. Blacks were perfect from the 1920s-1950s the poster child for marriage and working hard. You know what it did absolutely nothing because no matter what blacks do whites will be obsessed. In fact they decided to burn down black Wall Street the obsession will continue. Over a F slap the poster child black man who has been perfect his whole life they are going crazy over a slap.
No white person is obsessed with you. Get over yourself.
And what would’ve happened if he hit a white guy… Would everyone clap?
August had this all pre planned out he met the son first and faked like they were friends to get inside the house and once he met JADA it was on. Will hates himself for all of this but should have raised his kids better. If my son brings his friend home and his boy ends up touching my wife then the family has a serious problem.
You have that right. If it’s true that Will Smith condoned the sexual relationship between his wife and her lover, then they all need Dr. Phil. What were they thinking?
Will Smith was voted BEST ACTOR , right . So the apology and tears were fake . Actors are well rehearsed in crying on cue .
Doesn’t Will know that Black Lives Matter , who does he (Will ) think he is ?
He can apologize from here to eternity but you can’t unsee what he did .
Shaking my head !!!!!!!
What does it matter what we write tbh its their drama and what ever happens its for them to acknowledge and change and it happens to them why should we care if anything and again (if anything) how could we change what actions should be taken we entirely dont have a say in a society of the wealth let it be their issue. (no stress here) #facts #honesty
Oh my god, they all speak that bizarre psychobabble,metaphysical language.
I would love to see Jada Pinkett in GI Jane #2. I think she would be a great Sargent training a new recruit. Why not do a black Demi Moore from some of the best black actors today getting noticed and recognized for their acting skills than before Black Lives Matter. A bald head is another hair style for women. I shave my head because I like the wash and go. I get more compliments with the bald head than with hair. Equally means women look sexy just as a bald head man.
