Speaking exclusively with Vulture, August cleared up his own definition of the word "entanglement," his current relationship with The Smiths and why you won't be hearing him speak the name Keke Palmer anytime soon.

On "Entanglement":

"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. I think it’s just the language that probably stuck out to people. But I definitely have to agree with it being an entanglement. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic."

On His Current Relationship With Will & Jada:

Here’s the deal: I don’t have an issue with anybody. I love everybody. I love all of them. They’ve been my family, and there’s a lot of history there. They’re beautiful people. They’re beautiful spirits. They really are. After my sister died of cancer in 2018, I decided to do something different and kind of untangle myself from what I had been tangled up in for so long, because it kept me out of alignment with my true self, so to speak. I’m an artist. But because the full truth was never there and the clarity was never there, it kept me from living in my expression. And that made me feel weighted down. That, itself, is another form of oppression and repression and suppression. It started to kind of eat at my life force. That’s really what it’s about more than anything. But there’s no bad blood with anybody. They the Smiths got the Angela Yee interview way before the world ever saw it. It came from a loving place. There’s no bad love with anybody. I got love for everybody on this planet.

Call me crazy but I get it

still on this damn press run smh

hollywood families are weird.

the end!

so basically what he’s saying is he thinks people care about it too much?

It was nerve wrecking being in a complicated relationship. He felt suppressed not being able to express his true feelings through his art and with the world. At the end of the day, it’s all love but that type of relationship wasn’t fulfilling to him....

Or I could be completely wrong lol

is the album out yet

We gon get Ja Rule's take on this too?

tired of hearing about this lol

This day just keeps getting messier and messier

Don't know what to focus on, too much whiplash.

Do you?

Shut the f*** up little boy

I thought August Alsina was a woman this whole time.

I feel like I do. The Smiths are vets. His young ass didn’t know what he was getting into and ended up hurt

Light skin tendencies in full display

Who gives af, also how hard is it for grown ass adults to admit to having s***

we still on this? he just needs to pull an Usher

Drop and album called "Entanglement" where he airs all his dirty laundry and lets out all his emotions. He needs to make sure it's a game changing album too. And an actual classic, not cult classic or personal classic. And Jada should get an interlude so we get both perspectives and to increase sales and streams. Just follow the blueprint bruh
