“Entanglement” is the word of the year, and August Alsina isn’t mad at it.
In an interview with Vulture published on Friday (July 17), the New Orleans singer opened up about the controversy he’s been surrounded in since revealing his former relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith. After the Red Table Talk host used the word “entanglement” to describe her relationship with Alsina, the internet has run rampant with jokes and commentary – but Alsina isn’t in on the joke.
“I don’t know why that word is such an issue,” he said. “I would agree [with Jada]. If you look up the definition of ‘entanglement,’ it is a complex and difficult relationship. It was exactly that. I think it’s just the language that probably stuck out to people. But I definitely have to agree with it being an entanglement. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Alsina was asked about his journey since his 2014 debut, which ranked him alongside the likes of Chance the Rapper, Ty Dolla $ign, and even a short-lived beef with Trey Songz. Noting his path has been different from his peers, Alsina took it in stride.

“I’ve had a few stumbling blocks in my journey, but it’s not foreign to me,” he said. “That’s pretty much what my journey has been as a whole, even in my personal life. I’ve always been the underdog, and I’ve always had to work much harder than the next person just to get a look.”

August, be quiet and go back to your hole. This happened years ago and YOU decided to bring it up in the public eye during an interview. What was the purpose? You instigated things that shouldve been kept private. Years later you want to bring it into the fold. smh.
New Album that’s why.. He has been irrelevant for years now and he needed something to boost his sales.. Why not reveal something so juicy about one of the most popular couples around. That was the definition of a dick move
I mean he even said in the Angela Yee interview he didn’t fuck. So maybe they 69’ed or some shit. I don’t know why people are tripping off this terminology
Whatever Jada did to him, its working!
Just stop with all the negatives just let it go. No one is perfect in this world but God, yes I said it but God. Wake up people no time for hating on one another. Love is so beautiful do let’s love one another. Blessings come from the Father in heaven, amen. Will and Jada, will get through this without any negatives from anyone cause we’re not the Judge, but God is. Be safe and careful out there my sisters and brothers. Time is short for all of us.???.
