August Alsina has finally reacted to Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s viral ‘Red Table talk’ interview last week where Jada admitted she had a relationship with August when she and her husband Will Smith separated and on the brink of divorce.
The word “entanglement” went viral as Jada repeatedly used it to define the situation that happened.
While August claims he hasn’t watched the complete episode, he has reacted to Jada calling their relationship an “entanglement.”
In a new interview with Vulture, Alsina said;
“I don’t know why that word is such an issue. I would agree,”
“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.”
He explained he spoke out in the first place because “a lot of chatter” about the situation was already out there and he was starting to get a reputation as “this problematic guy who was super reckless, like I’m pushing up on someone’s wife.”
“I didn’t really like that. I didn’t like the sound of that, especially when it wasn’t the truth,” he continued, saying that the perception also “started to f–k with my partnerships and business relationships and money.”
“I didn’t like how that started to tamper with my life and finances,” he added. “I felt it necessary to get it out off of my spirit and clear the air.”
