It’s not often you hear the term entanglement, which has the same meaning as the term affair, namely a romantic or sexual relationship between two people, especially one that is outside marriage.

Following the recent Red Table Talk episode in which Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will confirmed she had an “entanglement” with August Alsina during a break in the marriage, the American singer also opened up about their entanglement in an interview with Vulture.

August Alsina sings about Jada in a July 2020 song titled "Entanglements" with lines like "That ain't my girl, but I got the key to the crib and to the car" and "You left your man just to f--- with me and break his heart"August Alsina sings about Jada in a July 2020 song titled “Entanglements” with lines like “That ain’t my girl, but I got the key to the crib and to the car” and “You left your man just to f— with me and break his heart”

“I have people who’ve seen it. I saw small clips floating on Instagram and kinda backed off Instagram. But it’s definitely been brought to my attention by people around me,” August Alsina said. He has previously claimed that Will Smith gave him permission to be with her.

“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,” he responded when asked about the use of the word entanglement.

Despite Will and Jada denying that Will gave his permission for the relationship, August Alsina insists the affair had Jada’s approval.

“I can’t speak for anyone else. What I said in my interview, how I said it, when I said it, is exactly what I said and exactly what I meant. That’s all I can really say about that. All I have is my truth, and all I have is my truth to stand on it. I don’t have any reason to lie about anything.”

On July 19, 2020, August Alsina released a collaboration titled “Entanglements” with rapper Rick Ross, in which he sings “You left your man just to f— with me and break his heart”.

When talking about spring fashion, yellow is one of the colors that come to mind.

In April 2013, it looked like it was exactly what Jada Pinkett Smith had in mind, too, when she stepped out on the red carpet to attend the New York premiere of Free Angela and All Political Prisoners.

The then 41-year-old looked fresh and radiant in a yellow number. How do you like her ensemble?

The halter gown by Miu Miu revealed Mrs. Smith’s firmly built shoulders, and its soft chiffon fabric and a thigh-high slit made the entire look very feminine. The gown also has a cinched waist that showed off Jada’s slender figure.
