As the Oscar’s drama slowly drags our timelines, August Alsina’s name does, too.
With the Will Smith and Chris Rock slap debacle, leave it to the innanet to bring up the old “entanglement” between Jada Pinkett Smith and August Alsina.
Fast forward to now, August, 29, just dropped a new track titled “Shake the World.” People quickly assumed he was alluding to Jada in the new track. “Well, of course, some s**t is bound to go down when there’s a billion dollars on the elevator,” he sings. “Well, of course, some s**t is bound to go down when you tangled up with the world’s favorite,” he followed up with.
A few commenters were not feeling his song, and stated he needed to move on from the situation.

One person tweeted, “Boy that new song [trash can emoji]. This is a bad look. You’re not a victim in this,” referring to his former romantic relationship with Jada Pinkett-Smith. “You made a DECISION to sleep with another man’s WIFE and now that it’s time to reap you wanna put these people’s business out there instead of admitting that wasn’t P and owning your s**t. #WillSmith”

The Twitter user replied back and stated, “My point is this. You’re actually talented All of that s**t that you’ve been through in your childhood and life is what attracted a lot of us to your music.” The commenter continued, “You don’t NEED to be doing THIS. All you need to do is drop a hot album and K.I.M. IJS”
August replied again and stated, “I’m not a child anymore! & No need to remind me of me being talented. God gifted me that! I’m STILL talking about MY life in my music, and Yal got a problem! BE MAD! Black twitter is the new age slave owners! But Yal don’t own me! & u go stay mad about it”
He replied to another person who stated he “loves attention” and “milking the Will and Jada situation.”
August tweeted, “EYE (I) love attention? Yet you’re here and my name is dragged into stuff I got nothing to do with? Make it make sense…if y’all love to put your attention on me, just say det.”
