August Alsina Reacts Comments Dating Man Zu Risqué Viral Video Post 
Share

August Alsina is living in his truth, no matter who is gagged by it! In recent days, the singer has been clocking folks concerned with his sexuality and what his boo says about their romance online. All 2024, August and a man named Zu fueled dating speculations with close and cozy photos. Now, August is making it crystal that he’s well aware the internet is still obsessed with his love life.

August Alsina Reacts To Shady “Gay” Comment

As mentioned, this isn’t August Alsina’s first time responding to people’s comments about his sexuality. In August, he shared a bunch of laughing emojis in response to a fan complimenting his music while calling him a “gay b***h.” However, that same month, he also shared words for Akbar V. At the time, the reality TV guest shaded him for suggesting God ordained his connection with Zu.

Fast-forward to days after Christmas 2024. August Alsina flexed two pictures on X (formerly Twitter)—one showing his abs and another his face card. In the caption, he opened up about being paralyzed a few days ago and how thankful he is for “every baby step of the process.” After encouraging his fans to “stay in the race,” he praised his face card.

Well, X user @saaaujadaaa went left with her response, writing, “He so f**king gay.” But August seemingly took the shade as a compliment, responding, “Y Thankyou!!!! Pls tell us more…we’re all ears.” 

August Alsina’s Boo Says THIS About The Singer

To kick off 2025, Zu took to TikTok to show folks that he and August are still going steady. He filmed a selfie video of him and Alsina sitting in a car, but the video text is what had the comment section popping with nearly 10,000 reactions.

“Ong I’m going to climb this [ninja emoticon] soon as we get in the crib,” Zu wrote. Meanwhile, his caption said the singer’s fragrance, Lè Joce has him “looking right.”

Singer Responds To Comments About Zu's Video

Obviously, the video ended up on other social platforms, causing a lil’ frenzy. August Alsina weighed in on Zu’s post after an X user asked him how he felt about it and suggested that he looked “caught off guard.”

“To be clear, Zu comes to me before posting anything involving me. Anyhow, he’s his own man. Let him cook,” August replied.

Another user, @brandikaee, said that she supports August in anything he does. However, despite saying Zu is “cool,” the fan expressed doubt about him posting their romance and the attention it brings. But August quickly shut down any suggestion that Zu is clout-chasing.

“Aht! Don’t do detttt. Erybody else alr be trollin’…so let that man troll in peace! For 205, what everyone needs to know is, if somebody is gonna support you, they’re gonna support you. If they’re not, they’re not. No ideation or perceived condition is going to either alter somebody’s investment or lack thereof. In other words, people who enjoy low hanging fruit, just enjoy low-hanging fruit. & for that, there’s trolling,” the singer replied.

August didn’t end his social media comments there, though. The ‘I Luv This Sh*t’ singer shared his additional hopes for 2025 and how people should be moving in the new year.

“Also, in 2025 I truly hope that WE, people as a collective, can & will stop trying to be or become who we think we should in the eyes or minds of others approval. All for the sake of an outsider(s) seeming support, that will inevitably & undoubtedly be fleeting, and fickle, due to the fact that it’s not based in the foundation of deeply rooted truth and authenticity.
This is all for my TED talk on today.
Learn love!! & then learn life,” he wrote on X.

Before responding to all the love and support from fans, August also took a moment to compliment the fragrance Zu shouted out in his risqué post of them.

“The point is, Lé Joce gone get you claimed every time,” August said.

The point is, Lé Joce gone get you climbed every time!!! 🌴 🪜
