August Alsina ‘agrees’ with Jada Pinkett Smith’s use of word ‘entanglement’ to describe relationship

Jada Pinkett Smith infamously referred to her relationship with August Alsina as an ‘entanglement,’ during last Friday’s episode of Red Table Talk with husband Will Smith.

And in an interview with Vulture published on Friday, August said that he agreed with Jada’s use of the word and believes their relationship was ‘complex and difficult,’ as the definition suggests.

‘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,’ explained the 27-year-old singer.

As for the buzz surrounding Jada’s use of the word ‘entanglement,’ August suggested that the peculiarity of the language ‘probably stuck out to people.’

He added: ‘But I definitely have to agree with it being an entanglement. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic.’ 

When asked if he had seen Jada and Will’s Red Table Talk episode about the entanglement, August admitted that he had only seen a few ‘small clips on Instagram.’ 

‘I have people who’ve seen it. I saw small clips floating on Instagram and kinda backed off Instagram. But it’s definitely been brought to my attention by people around me.’

During last Friday’s Red Table Talk, Jada vehemently denied allegations – made by August – that Will had given him permission to engage in a romantic relationship with Jada.

‘The only person that can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself,’ insisted Jada in the episode.

But in his interview with Vulture, August stood by his original statement and claimed it as his ‘truth.’

‘I can’t speak for anyone else. What I said in my interview, how I said it, when I said it, is exactly what I said and exactly what I meant. 

‘That’s all I can really say about that. All I have is my truth, and all I have is my truth to stand on it. I don’t have any reason to lie about anything,’ concluded Alsina.

Though Jada denied the ‘permission’ allegations, the 48-year-old actress laid everything else out on the table last Friday as she dished on her entanglement with Alsina.

She wanted to clarify for fans that August ‘was not a homewrecker’ and that at the time of their relationship she and husband Will Smith were separated.   

‘I guess about four and a half years ago, I started a friendship with August. We actually became really, really good friends. It all started with him just needing some help, and me wanting to help his health and mental state,’ she explained. 

But things evolved romantically between the two over time. 

‘I got into an entanglement with August…a relationship, yes, absolutely,’ said Jada verbatim, as Will sat across from her.

‘Through that particular journey, I learned so much about myself and was able to really confront a lot of emotional immaturity, emotional insecurity and I was really able to do some really deep healing.

‘And as I came through and started to realize certain things about you and I, he decided to break all communication with me which was totally understandable. And I let that be and hadn’t talked to [August] since so it is a little weird that all this stuff is coming out now since this was several [years ago],’ said Jada. 

Jada and Will have since repaired their relationship and have ‘really gotten to that new place of unconditional love.’

The couple – who wed in 1997 – share 22-year-old son Jaden and 19-year-old daughter Willow.
