Will Smith's 'blessing' to August Alsina in Jada Pinkett Smith affair raises eyebrows

Singer August Alsina's revelation about his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith stirred up considerable buzz in the entertainment world.

In a surprising turn of events, the American singer claimed that Hollywood A-lister Will Smith had given his "blessing" for him to date Jada Pinkett Smith.

As the news of the clandestine separation between Will and Jada Smith rapidly circulated, information regarding Jada's widely discussed "entanglement" with Alsina in 2016 began to resurface online.

These particulars can be traced back to a 2020 interview with Angela Yee, during which the singer of No Love candidly disclosed the details of their concealed relationship.

The I Luv This Shit crooner revealed, “I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership,” adding, “He gave me his blessing.”

Alsina went on to confess that he developed deep feelings for the Collateral star while they were involved in their romantic relationship.

Alsina said, “I devoted myself to it. I gave my full self to it, so much so to the point that I can die right now and be OK with knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody.”

While representatives for the Smiths initially asserted to Page Six that the allegations were “absolutely not” Jada herself acknowledged the truth of the matter two weeks later during her Red Table Talk broadcast on Facebook.

“I went into a different kind of an entanglement with August,” confessed, Jada adding that she and Will had already called it quits during that period.

In her forthcoming memoir, Worthy, the mother of three candidly revealed that what appeared to be a temporary separation was, in fact, ongoing.

Additionally, she disclosed that Chris Rock, the recipient of a notorious slap from Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars, extended an invitation to her, as reported by PEOPLE.
