August Alsina seems to validate his previous association with Jada Pinkett-Smith, disclosing that Will Smith gave his blessing, despite speculations that surfaced in 2016 while on a trip to Hawaii with the Smith family.
In 2018, August Alsina posted a photo with Jada Pinkett-Smith’s mother, Adrienne Banfield-Jones, captioning it “Date night.” During a Red Table Talk appearance, he discussed his relationship with Jada, highlighting her support in his struggle with addiction but emphasizing a strictly platonic connection.
“I was on tour or something and you called me and you literally broke down about it,” he said at the time.
“That was the thing. To feel your emotion and to hear you bawling. That was a reality check for me. I was like, ‘Wow, if someone else can love you that much that it hurts them, why doesn’t it bother you that you are actually hurting yourself?’ That moment really changed the trajectory of my life.”
In 2019, August Alsina released a song titled “Nunya,” sparking speculation that he was referencing his alleged affair with Jada. In the lyrics, he sang:
“The time I invested, you can’t give it back. You can’t get mad at the way I react. You had me feeling it was just as an act. YOU’RE JUST AN ACTRESS!! Putting on a show.”
August Alsina affirmed in 2020 that he had a real and passionate relationship with Jada Pinkett-Smith. He claims to have asked Will Smith, her husband, for permission and to have received it, which has fueled rumors of their “open marriage.”

“I love those people like my family. I don’t ever have a bad thing to say about them. They are beautiful people,” August told Angela Yee in a new interview while promoting his new album The Product III: StateofEMERGEncy.
“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,” Alsina said.
“And it not involving romanticism—He gave me his blessing—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.”
He continued: “I devoted myself to it. So much so that I can die right now and be okay with knowing that I truly gave myself to someone. I really loved a person.”
When asked about Jada Pinkett-Smith not addressing their relationship, August Alsina expressed that he cannot dwell on it, emphasizing that he is only responsible for his own actions.
“I really can’t even … I never even can get into the thought of that because I’m only responsible for myself, right? I’m only responsible for what I do.”
