July 5, 2015
On July 5th 2015, Aceshowbiz reported that Jada was spotted with the then 21-year-old rapper, August Alsina. The two attended the Wireless Festival in London, sparking cheating rumors.
Jada was seen wearing a tight blue jumpsuit and a cream fedora. Sporting red lipstick, the 43-year-old actress completed her look with some gold necklaces and bracelets. August, meanwhile, sported all-white outfit consisting of snapback, long tee and loose pants. He completed his look with some gold necklaces, a gold watch and a pair of sunglasses.
However, according to a Red Table Talk in 2018, Jada revealed that the two had just met at the festival, and this was the moment August reached out to Jada for life help.
April 27, 2016
August posts a pic of himself on vacation with Jada, Willow and Willow’s boyfriend Tyler Cole. He labelled the pic, “Ma’ x Yung x Baby Sis x Ty”. From what has been revealed now, this could have been when the two started their “entanglement”.
Jada now says, “I got into an entanglement with August … a relationship,” Jada said after revealing that she and her husband of 22 years had been separated at the time. “I was in a lot of pain. I was broken.”
She added, “I just wanted to feel good. It had been so long since I feel good, right? And it felt good to help heal someone. I think it dealt a lot with my co-dependency … needing to fix, needing to help, there’s something about that childhood trauma that feels as though it can be fixed through fixing people versus fixing me.”
According to Jada’s timeline, the two got involved with one another as she and Will were separated in 2016. It initially began as a friendship and then evolved into something more. When Will and Jada reconciled, that’s when Alsina cut all communication to Jada. The Smiths did dispel the notion that Will gave August “his blessing” to date Jada as the only person who would have been able to give Jada permission to date anybody is Jada.

August goes on Red Table Talk to discuss his addiction to Percocet with Jada, her mom Adrienne Banfield-Norris, and Jada’s sister-in-law Ashley Marie.
On the show, he describes the moment when Jada called him crying about his drug use. He said this was his breaking point to get clean. “To feel your emotion and hear you bawling, that was really a reality check for me,” he told Jada. “Cause I was like wow if someone else can love you that much that it hurts them, why doesn’t it bother you that you’re actually hurting yourself.”

August Alsina calls Jada “love personified” in a lengthy Instagram post for her birthday:
“I don’t believe in luck. I believe in God’s divine order. & you are an example of Gods divinity in It’s covering over my life. A beautifully complex individual you are.. I could spend a lifetime decoding you. Thankyou for your laughter. Thankyou for seeing my heart and character & not measuring me based upon what I come from.

In an interview with The Shade Room, August calls Jada “a friend that everyone should have.”
He continues:
“She is one of the main reasons of my restoration in people and in humans and in women. She has played such a huge role in my life, in my recovery, in my willingness to do and be more, and better of a man and human for other people on this earth. And also, not just other people…be better and more kind to myself. She is somebody that I believe should or could or would be the greatest part of someone’s life in friendship.”
When the interviewer told August that there’s a narrative online that Jada and him might be an item, he responded with “that’s fine too.”
Peep his words for yourself, starting at the 23:04 mark.

August Alsina set the internet ablaze with his single “Nunya” which was a remix of Kehlani’s song by the same name.
Flipping new mom Kehlani’s track “Nunya,” Alsina sings of an ex-lover who took him for granted, crooning, “I gave you time to make me a priority / Put my feelings out there / You ignored it. Ain’t nunya business to know who I’m with.”
While the subject matter is standard R&B fare, Alsina’s accompanying lyric video has many fans believing he is referring to a tryst with Jada Pinkett Smith. The woman Alsina is texting in the video is named Koren, Smith’s middle name. Also, at the end of the clip, he sends a GIF of the actress to “Koren” in the midst of their back and forth.
Through his texts and song lyrics, August sings, “Why is you textin’ me/ Asking who next to me/ Why you care about who having sex with me?/ Now u all on my line why you pressing me/ Cause I got her legs open like sesame/ What I got cooking with her ain’t your recipe!”
At the time, this track led to mixed feelings online with some doubting the legitimacy of the story and others critiquing Jada Pinkett Smith.

During the promotional run for his new album The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy and its accompanying five-part docuseries, the singer sat down with Angela Yee to discuss his controversial relationship with Jada. Alsina claimed he and the actress were romantically involved, and that he only decided to speak his truth in an attempt to clear his name.
“People can have whatever ideas that they like. But what I’m not OK with is my character being in question …” he said at around the 16:30 mark. “Contrary to what some people may believe, I’m not a troublemaker. I don’t like drama. Drama actually makes me nauseous. I also don’t think that it’s ever important for people to know what I do, who I sleep with, who I date, right? But in this instance, there are so many people who are side-eyeing me … I’ve lost money, friendships, relationships behind it. And I think it’s because people don’t necessarily know the truth. But I’ve never done anything wrong. I love those people (the Smiths) … They are beautiful people.”
Alsina went on to say the relationship wasn’t a secret affair, suggesting Jada and her husband, Will Smith, had an open marriage.
