Jada Pinkett Smith is preparing to set the record straight on an alleged affair with musician August Alsina.
The two-time Emmy nominee and husband Will Smith have since denied his claims that a four-year long relationship took place with Will’s consent.
But August doubled down on his claims Friday, when he took to Instagram with a lengthy statement about the situation.

The 27-year-old posted a photo of himself with radio personality Angela Yee, to whom he opened up about the affair earlier this week.
He wrote in part: ‘I get it; not only do i get it but I’m also sorry you feel that way, BUT, The only attack here is against the invisible walls of silent societal construct and “code” we place upon each other & upon ourselves hidden behind the desires of others approval & acceptance.’
August continued: ‘Truth & Transparency makes us uncomfortable, yes, but i can’t apologize for that… My truth is MY truth, & its mine to own. There is no right or wrong here, it simply just IS.’
He added: ‘My heart has no malice or hate toward anyone on this planet. I just simply want the chains off & I’m willing to DIE getting there.’

Ton of love: It comes after August claimed: ‘He gave me his blessing and I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life and I truly and really, really deeply loved and have a ton of love for her’ (pictured in October, 2019)
Jada also took to Twitter on Thursday, breaking her silence: ‘There’s some healing that needs to happen…so I’m bringing myself to The Red Table.’
August told the Breakfast Club host during their interview that he usually wouldn’t discuss the affair, but he’s ‘lost money, friendships, relationships’ over the rumors.
He said: ‘I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership that they’ve spoken on several times and it not involving romanticism.
‘He gave me his blessing and I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life and I truly and really, really deeply loved and have a ton of love for her. I devoted myself to it. I gave my full self to it so much so to the point that I can die right now and be ok with knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody.’
