Christopher Green
On June 30, 2020, Alsina claimed he was granted permission from Will Smith to be in a romantic relationship with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The following day, a representative for Pinkett Smith released a statement concerning the claims, referring to them as “absolutely not true.” However, on July 10, in an episode of her talk show Red Table Talk, alongside Will Smith, Jada revealed that she did have a romantic relationship with Alsina four and a half years prior, when she and Will were separated. She stated she “got into a different kind of entanglement with August.” Jada and Will denied that Will gave Alsina permission for the relationship, with Jada saying Alsina “would perceive it as permission because we [her and Will] were separated amicably”. Pinkett Smith further claimed she wanted to “heal” Alsina, but needed to find healing for herself first. She and Will eventually reconciled after breaking things off with Alsina and claimed she has not spoken to him since.
After Jada’s use of the word “entanglement” went viral on the Internet, Alsina released a collaboration titled “Entanglements” with rapper Rick Ross on July 19, 2020, in which Alsina sings “You left your man just to f— with me and break his heart”.
