How Jada Pinkett Smith Got Involved With August Alsina

News of Jada Pinkett Smith’s involvement with the singer came to light in 2020 when August Alsina made a shocking revelation during an interview with radio host Angela Yee on June 30. In the interview, he disclosed his romantic connection with Jada.

Alsina said (viaYouTube):

“I sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage into a life partnership. He gave me his blessing. I have a ton of love for her, as much that I can die right now peacefully knowing that I truly dedicated myself to someone.”

Following the sensational revelation, Jada shared a video on her Facebook page where she sat alongside her husband and openly admitted to her romantic involvement with the singer. This confession came as a significant turnaround, as she had previously denied any such affair.
