August Alsina claims Will Smith approved of affair
SINGER August Alsina claims he had an affair with Jada Pinkett Smith — after her husband, Will Smith, allegedly gave the relationship his blessing.
While reps for Pinkett Smith said Alsina’s claims are “absolutely not true,” Alsina has opened up on the alleged affair in an interview with The Breakfast Club’s Angela Yee.
He said: “I actually sat down with Will (Smith) and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership … he gave me his blessing.”
Alsina, 27, was introduced to Pinkett Smith, 48, in 2015 by her son Jaden. He said the two became very close, even holidaying with the Smith family in Hawaii in 2016 and attending the 2017 BET Awards together.
He claims he fell in love with Pinkett Smith.
“I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really deeply love and have a ton of love for her. 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,” he said.
Alsina even went on to describe Pinkett Smith as “God’s divinity” on her 47th birthday. It is not clear when their alleged affair ended.
