Rapper August Alsina caused an internet meltdown after claiming that he and Jada were in a relationship with the approval of Will Smith.
Rumors of a relationship between August and Jada began circulating after he made references to Jada in his 2019 song. nunya. At the time, August denied that the song was about Jada.
Alsina altered her tune in a recent interview with Angela Yee. She claimed that she was opening up about the relationship in an attempt to clear her name. “Contrary to what people may believe, I am not a troublemaker. I don’t like the theater. The drama actually makes me nauseous,” she said. “I also don’t think it’s important that people know what I do, who I sleep with, who I go out with, right? But in this case, there are so many people who look at me with suspicion… I have lost money, friendships, relationships behind this.”
August went on to spill the tea about his years-long relationship with Jada. Perhaps the most surprising part of his confession was that Will Smith approved of the relationship. August confessed:
“I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation… He gave his blessing. And I totally threw myself into that relationship for years of my life, and I really, really, really loved her deeply and have a lot of love for her (Jada). I dedicated myself to it. I gave myself completely to it. So much so that I can die right now and be fine knowing that I gave myself completely to someone… Some people never get that in this life.”

The news about Jada and August’s relationship may not come as a surprise to people who have been closely following Will and Jada’s marriage. The couple has long been rumored to be in an open relationship. Those rumors started in 2013 after people interpreted Jada’s comments in an interview with live huff post to indicate that she was in an open marriage. Jada addressed the rumors via a lengthy Facebook post that read:
“Will and I can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do it. This does NOT mean we are in an open relationship…this means we are in an ADULT relationship.”
In 2015, Smith denied rumors that he and Pinkett were planning to divorce. Jada echoed her husband’s statements in a 2018 interview on swinging in the morning. A month after Jada’s interview, Smith referred to Jada as his ‘life partner’ rather than his wife. He explained in the rap radar podcast that he and Jada didn’t add the ‘married’ label to their relationship. Will said:
“We refer to ourselves as ‘life partners,’ where you get into that space where you realize you’re literally with someone for the rest of your life. There is no deal breaker. There is nothing she can do, ever, nothing to break our relationship. She’s my support until death, and she feels great to get into that space.”
In an August 2019 interview with The Guardian, Jada stated that she knew she was “not cut out for conventional marriage.” She claimed that he viewed the marriage as a “golden cage”. However, she clarified that she was not forced to marry her ‘life partner’, Will Smith. She said:
Will is my life partner and I couldn’t ask for a better one. I adore him, I never want people to think that it was Will I didn’t want to marry…”
Jada and Will Smith are still married, but the nature of their relationship remains a mystery.
