Will Smith has been a trending Twitter topic at least twice this month — and not because of a new movie or guest verse. On Sunday (July 19), the seasoned actor/MC was internet fodder once again after August Alsina’s lyrics to his latest song “Entanglements” were deemed highly disrespectful to Will.
As previously reported, Alsina dropped the song over the weekend, which found the 27-year-old singer taking a deep dive into his affair with Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The title itself is a reference to the discussion Jada and Will had on an episode of her Facebook series Red Table Talk in which she refers to her time with Alsina as an “entanglement.”
But the verses are what really set Twitter off. After explaining, “The definition of entanglement (No, oh-woah, oh, oh)/It’s when you’re tangled in the sheets,” Alsina (with the help of Rick Ross) provides intimate details about what went on behind closed doors.
“I’m bein’ honest baby, don’t want no strings attached (Uh-uh)/You just want a nigga that’s gon’ break your back (Break your back),” he sings. “I’m half? No, I ain’t ’bout to play with that (Play with that). You left your man to fuck with me, just to pay him back/Don’t you know that’s cold hearted?
“Once you gone, no comin’ back/Girl, you fuckin’ with a youngin’, I be doin’ shit you like/Don’t do talkin’ when I see you, all your hear’s love sounds/Goin’ round for round, you want a nigga that take you down (This a special bond but it ain’t true).”
August Alsina On Alleged Jada Pinkett Smith Affair: 'I Just Simply Want The Chains Off'
Alsina initially defended Jada’s use of the word “entanglement,” telling Vulture, “I don’t know why that word is such an issue. 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.”
Releasing a song about it took things to a whole other level, something not lost on Twitter.

I get the feeling he is looking to make a name for himself. Sad way to do it.
He already has one. Just because you didn’t know him before doesn’t mean he was non existent.
DOUBLE F*CK Cornball OFFICER RICKY – Biggest FRAUD EVER! and lil Auggie ….. LAME AZZ IDIOTS tryin’ to ‘capitalize’ on a common word and others’ life issues. The FAKE rickross should talk, HE’s A MOMUMENTAL FRAUD and CONNING Artists – F*CK THESE FOOLS!
So your career failed and the only way you could get some attention is by trolling Will Smith? Sad to see.
This young man took a break from the industry to take care of his health. He almost died. He has a very loyal fanbase just like you all love the Smiths. There are people who love August. It was a genius business move. Move on and leave him, alone clowns.
phck dat rat
Lol, Will Smith got a movie coming out. This song will probably be on the soundtrack. They need to stop.?
Here is a little story all about how my wife got flipped turned upside down… wills response
I’M PRETTY SURE WILL DID SOMETHING TO DESERVE THIS. I HAVE FAITH IN THE UNIVERSE.
To me, men getting all excited about smashing each other’s women,, to the extent of boasting,, is so lame. So what? You smashed. This happens every single day. Ppl cheat for many reasons. Altho, August said that will have him “his blessing” plus Jada and will were separated at the time. So it’s not even cheating if they were on a break. Yet men so pathetic to feel excited and validated just cuz they smashed a woman, that another man was smashing.
Is so weird. Like to men, enjoying sex isn’t even the point anymore. It’s more important to them that they can somehow feel they superior to another man.. yet both men want the same woman, so actually they both being played by Her and she’s winning?
I’ve seen women act the same way fighting over a man. Like dis, u both being played by him but I hate each other?
It’s so childish yet grown adults get excited over this juvenile cornball drama.
Like get over it, it’s sex,. It’s not illegal, it’s not special. Get over yourselelves have u nothing better to gossip about ? Trivial and petty
You can’t take a break from a real marriage. Either Jada cheated, or Will let her get passed around like a cuck. There are no breaks that allow fucking other people in a marriage that is happy and legitimate. That’s just a bullshit excuse swingers use, or this is a fake marriage like many have claimed from the start. Many Hollywood stars had fake PR relationships since the beginning, and I don’t even think Will cares enough because he fucks dudes.
They’ve famously had an open relationship for years. Don’t know why people acting like this wasn’t a regular thing in their marriage. How tf is WILL SMITH supposed ot be smashing the same skinny bitch for the rest of his life?
That Entanglements is the first song that August Alsina has dropped that is FIREE.
Will be played in clubs and radio.
Will it make to number 1?
What people do for attention man the mental illness is real
Time to cancel Rick Ross and August Alsina. Both of them are disrespectful idiots.
lmao Rappers been exposing thots for decades – now because the thot is Will Smith’s wife they supposed to hold their tongues? GTFOH.
Nothing is wrong with what August Alsina profiting off of HIS story. You all are just mad because he took what was meant to be negative and turned it into something he could profit from. You people act like Will and Jada are Gods and they are not. They are far from perfect and they have yall looking like FOOLS. Will was more embarrassed than anything. He knew about Jada and Aug.
If u agree with this shit u just as lame
That cougar should no better, why did she open her legs wide open for a young niga, that is the same age with her step son? She’s lame….
Yea fuck around on the only thing that made you an actual celebrity. Nobody gave a fk about Jada since Pac so don’t do that sht. This dude a cornball for publicity, nobody checkin for his sht
Jada CHOSE to deal with a guy with a history of mental issues. This is what you get
the ultimate clout chase
I don’t know why I keep clicking and reading stories about this situation. Will Smith and his family life has never crossed my mind my entire life, and I never even heard of the August dude.
Why do people care what two weird ass people do ? Stop all this damn celebrity worship, they have a girl that acts like a dude and a dude who acts like a girl. SMH.
