August admits his affair with Jada was “an entanglement” and it was affecting his life and finances

Alsina agrees his involvement with Jada was very much an entanglement during an interview with Vulture on Friday . August started off by saying “I don’t know why that word is such an issue. I would agree [with Jada], If you look up the definition of ‘entanglement,’ it is a complex and difficult relationship. It was exactly that.”

When asked why he chose to open up August said “People looked at me 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,” Alsina said. “I think because people didn’t have the truth, it allowed them to view me and my character a certain type of way. And that started to really eat at my soul, but deeper than that, it started to f—k with my partnerships and business relationships and money because of people seeing me as this reckless guy who’s, like, publicly announcing his love and pushing up on somebody’s wife, quote, unquote. That’s really the only reason I felt the need to speak my truth,” he continued. “A lot of those people in partnerships came back around and apologized like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry, my bad. I really didn’t know.’ But yeah, you’re absolutely right. I never talk about my relationships cause I don’t think it’s important. But my livelihood is important, because I have three kids to take care of now, and I didn’t like how that started to tamper with my life and finances. I felt it necessary to get it out off of my spirit and clear the air.”
