Lil Wayne welcomed his fellow New Orleans native, August Alsina, at the end of Young Money Radio’s first season, where the two artists revisited Alsina’s widely publicized past relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith.
Alsina, who appeared on the Apple Music show on Friday (July 17) to promote her third album, Product III: state of emergency, made headlines recently after Pinkett Smith confirmed that she and the singer were romantically involved during their separation from Will Smith.
The 27-year-old “No Love” singer admitted to Weezy that he will always have feelings for Pinkett Smith, who described his relationship with Alsina as a “mess” during an episode of his Facebook Watch show. Red Table Talk – and that the terrible experience has changed his life for the better.
“I will always have love for her as a person,” Alsina told Wayne. “The experience really helped transform me and really brought the king out of me.”
In late June, during an interview with The Breakfast Club radio host Angela Yee, Alsina claimed that the Smiths had an open marriage that Will allegedly gave permission for Jada to date. Alsina doubled this claim during her appearance on Young Money Radio.
“As two men, we had a conversation and that was it,” Alsina told Wayne. Everything I talked about in my initial interview is and was, and still is, my exact truth. “
Alsina also addressed criticism that she used her past romance with Pinkett Smith to help publicize her new album.
“Absolutely not,” said the singer. “What puzzles me is that I never think it is anyone’s business to know my business. But when my personal business begins to affect my lifestyle and livelihood, as if I lost associations and agreements behind that situation, because it seemed that the world It was if August Alsina was a reckless moron from New Orleans that I’m putting pressure on someone’s wife. “
Despite everything, Alsina says she has no hard feelings towards the Smith family.
“Here’s the deal, man, no one is wrong here,” he said. “Nobody is a bad person. She didn’t take advantage of me or what people say.”
