ICYMI, earlier this month, singer August Alsina dropped a serious bombshell that has since rocked the Internet: His relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith — whom we thought was happily married to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?
Turns out, a few years back, Jada and Will were temporarily separated, at which point she pursued someone new, that she now refers to as an "entanglement", and Will is not tolerating any jokes about it, no matter how funny they are!
After confirming her relationship with August Alsina during a period of time when she and Will Smith were separated, her use of the word "entanglement" has been making quite the splash on the Internet.
At the beginning of July, singer August Alsina spilled some major tea, revealing that he was romantically involved with Jada.
“I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life," he told Complex.
“So much so that I can die right now, and be OK knowing that I fully gave myself to somebody … Some people never get that in this lifetime," he added.
"There’s some healing that needs to happen…so I’m bringing myself to The Red Table," she tweeted.
She openly admitted that her relationship with August wasn't just a rumor, it was factual.
"We decided we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I'll figure out how to make myself happy," Will said.
"The only person that could give permission in that particular circumstance is myself," she said. "I just wanted to feel good, it had been so long since I felt good."
It was evident that none of this was new information to Will.
The pair ended the episode with this adorable statement: "We ride together, we die together."
"I don’t know why that word is such an issue. I would agree. 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," he said.
He explained that he doesn't want to be seen as "this problematic guy who was super reckless — like I'm pushing up on someone's wife. I didn't really like that. I didn't like the sound of that, especially when it wasn't the truth."
Anyway, since then, we've been seeing nothing but "entanglement" jokes on Twitter.
People are loving it. Will Smith, however, is not.
While most fans found the video to be fascinating and creative, one follower took it as an opportunity to poke fun at Jada's relationship with August.
While the joke certainly hit below the belt, Will was a great sport about it.
“Hahaha… Okay… I can admit it. That’s Funny!," he replied.
What do you think of Will Smith's response to a fan making a joke about his wife's relationship with another man?
