August Alsina is telling his entire story and cleaning out his laundry. The New Orleans, LA native shared a lengthy post on Instagram accompanied by photos comparing him today versus last year.
He wrote: “Me this year VS Me this time last year!.. 😂😤A nigxa was bouta kick the bucket lol. I’ve tasted and toyed w/ death, therefore I want to live a life purposeful, w/ intention, & no regret. One thing that’s certain is we are all living to die. Death, we should fear not! Fear being alive, while dying & being dead inside, so create the life you see fit for yourself. Autonomy; Will it hurt? Yes. Will you be hated & create enemies along the way? Yes; yet if there’s no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm. 💡 Will you fail & fall at times? Yes. Experience all sorts of spiritual warfare, witchcraft & ppl talk about you? Yup!That too! 😅You gone hear all type of things said about u. Throw it behind you, Get back up, dust it off, keep it moving & forever strive to LIVE YOUR SOUL, NOT A ROLE ‼️⚡️👁✨.”

A backer of the talented crooner replied: “We can’t forget this man took in his three nieces after his brother was killed and raised them by himself. He still has respect on his name.”
A second supporter chimed in: “Actually August has always been pretty open about his life, so I don’t think it was for sales. It’s something he has always done since he became a musician.”
A critic argued that the singer is right to be sharing his journey, especially in light of the Jada Pinkett Smitt controversy: “We need to start holding more Women accountable for stuff like this. Jada was so wrong, smh.”
Another person, who is putting some of the blame on Jada, replied: “Wasn’t much her mother just posted people make mistakes and stuff addressing the issue basically admitting Jada did what she did instead just not saying anything.”
August has gotten a lot of coverage following his revelation that Will Smith and his wife, Jada, have an alone relationship, and he reportedly had a long affair with the actress.
The power couple has denied the story, and Jada is supposed to address the matter on her Facebook show Red Table Talk later this month.
