Last year, <a href="/profile/augustalsina" class="text-word" target="_blank" >August Alsina</a> was a guest on Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s highly-popular Red Table Talk show, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/august-alsina-reveals-percocet-addiction-on-jada-pinkett-smiths-red-table-talk-news.54661.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">speaking about his struggles with drug addiction and opening up to the world</a>. Jada spoke about <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/jada-smith-talks-past-sex-addiction-i-thought-everything-could-be-fixed-by-sex-news.54749.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">her own battles with sex addiction</a> on the same episode. The two have always seemingly had a close bond but it&#8217;s been strictly platonic&#8230; right? Alsina is a family friend of the Smith&#8217;s but judging from some of the lyrics in his <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/august-alsina-co-signs-kehlanis-nunya-business-stance-on-jealous-exes-new-song.1982437.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">new cover of Kehlani&#8217;s &#8220;Nunya,&#8221;</a> some people think that he and Jada had a little more than just a regular friendship.

In the video for August Alsina&#8217;s latest cover, the singer is having a text conversation with a woman named Koren, which fans have pointed out is Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s middle name. The song describes a relationship in which August wants more from his girlfriend, giving her time to make him a priority. When he utters the line &#8220;You&#8217;re just an actress putting on a show,&#8221; a GIF of Jada Pinkett appears on the screen, which is the second alleged reference made to her.
The song was <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/kehlani-and-dom-kennedy-are-calling-you-out-on-nunya-new-song.1982046.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">originally made popular by Kehlani</a>, who dropped it earlier this year. However, with so much speculation surrounding August Alsina and Jada Pinkett Smith right now, August&#8217;s version may actually be more popular. Much of Alsina&#8217;s fanbase believes that Pinkett may have had a fling with the singer during her marriage to Will Smith and others think that she&#8217;s actually in on this. Perhaps she just wanted to give a boost to his musical career, knowing full well that this would get people talking before signing off on the idea. What do you think? Did Jada and August have a thing?
