On Friday, Lil’ Wayne and August Alsina chopped it up on Young Money Radio. The singer spoke about his album and also his “entanglement” with Jada Pinkett-Smith and said that he still had love for her as a person.
When asked if he still loved her, he replied, “Absolutely.” He continued to clarify, “When you experience a certain type of experience on this planet and you experience a certain type of love, I will always have love for her as a person.”
As we previously reported, in an interview with Vulture, August explained why he decided to speak on their past relationship.
“People looked at me as this problematic guy who was super reckless, like I’m pushing up on someone’s wife,” he says. “And that really started to eat at my soul, but deeper than that, it started to f*ck with my partnerships and business relationships and money.”
He continues, saying that he has never cared to expose his personal relationships but felt compelled to do so now because of his three children.
“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.”
Aside from his family and finances, August has had to deal with the reactions from the public about his confirmation of the relationship, and Jada’s recollection of what happened. The internet was in a frenzy about Jada’s use of the word ‘entanglement’, but August isn’t sure why people are making such a fuss. In fact, he says he agrees that their situation was indeed entangled.
“I don’t know why the word is such an issue,” he says. “I would agree. If you look up the definition of ‘entanglement,’ it is a complex and difficult relationship. It was exactly that. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic.”
If you recall, August revealed he had a relationship with the actress, during an interview with Angela Yee. Jada later confirmed the relationship, on an episode of Red Table Talk with her husband Will Smith,
