Will Smith’s
wife, Jada Pinkett Smith has denied that she was ever sexually involved with
August Alsina.
The actress
refuted the singer’s claim that they had a years-long love affair that received
the green light from Will Smith.
Jada’s
representatives reached out to both TMZ and Page Six with a denial after Alsina
spoke publicly and confirmed rumours about the affair with the actress, who has
been married to Will since 1997.
”Absolutely
not true,” the rep said.
The
headline-making allegations surfaced this week in an interview held between Alsina and Angela Yee, which was
published on YouTube.
During the
sit-down, the topic of the 27-year-old singer’s “Nunya” track came up along
with the rumors that he had dated Smith.
“Here’s what
I’ll say,” Alsina began in response. “People can have whatever ideas that they
like, but what I’m not ok with is my character being in question, when certain
things are questionable that I know is not me or that I know I haven’t done.”
“Contrary to what
some people believe, I’m not a troublemaker. I don’t like drama. Drama actually
makes me nauseous…I also don’t think that it’s ever important for people to
know what I do, who I sleep with, who I date.
“In this
instance, it’s very different because as I said, there’re so many people that
are side-eyeing me, looking at me questionable about it. I’ve lost money,
friendships, relationships behind it and I think it’s because people don’t
necessarily know the truth, but I’ve never done anything wrong. I love those
people.”
Seemingly
referring to Jada and Will, he added, “I don’t have a bad thing to say about
them. They are beautiful people.”
The singer
said he didn’t have a choice but to express his truth after his life and
wellness were being affected.
“I actually
sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their
marriage to life partnership that they’ve spoken on several times and it not
involving romanticism,” he alleged.
“He gave me
his blessing and I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my
life and I truly and really, really deeply loved 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.
“I really
loved a person, I experienced that. I know what that feels like and some people
never get that in this lifetime, so I know that I’m completely blessed.”
As for why
Alsina stayed silent about the alleged relationship, “I never want to be the
person to cause confusion because I love these people,” he said. “I really
genuinely do and I have literally never been in love in that kind of a way, so
much so that being intertwined in that way—walking away from it butchered me.”
He further
said that the alleged split “probably will be the hardest thing that I’ve ever
experienced in this lifetime.”
“I want to
honour myself and I want to honour my authenticity,” Alsina said. “If honoring
my authenticity means you hate me, stone me, shoot me, crucify me,
whatever—bury me an honest man.”
