We caught up with August Alsina for his FIRST exclusive interview in years. We talked about everything from family, to music, and everything in between. #augustalsina #jadepinkettsmith #theshaderoom
As a man, I am so moved to tears for this brother. My heart aches for him. And sadly, he is expected to be strong even as he himself broken. God, please sustain my brother.
🙌 I respect this type of support for an emotional man. Sometimes we don't have to be strong all the time, everybody deserve a release especially when life throws u off
Just that simple question “how are you” choked him up. He probably hasn’t had a chance to properly grieve as he’s being so strong to be there for his nieces. Im crying as Im typing this. God bless him and his nieces 🙏🏾
Hes dealing with his own sickness as well as holding his family down through their pain. I think he's exactly where he needs to be, he's healing, he's feeling, he's providing and he's loving. The most loving people in the world hurt and feel the most.
Akingsmind Reacts seriously! He’s a pure soul to me and very genuine.... Also, I don’t check for likes on here or any social platform, don’t really care for them.
Tia F. His innocence and how sincere he is in this interview, I always see Shade room posts about protecting certain people but this one is someone who I feel should not be damaged by social media and today’s industry fuckery
@@@alwaysjustMi I hear you! So he would probably need positive & supportive people/outlets & the covering of God, we supplies all of our every needs & provides the protection you speak of. As long as he's walking & talking with King Jesus, he'll get through all things.
This made me cry!!! He said so many Real things but one thing that stood out to me was when he said You really learn who God is when you’re suffering!!! I felt that in my soul because I know what it feels like to suffer & God is the only one who can fix it 💜
His eyes say everything. The pain, the suffering that he’s going through. But the difference now is his faith in God. He knows that God has him and that regardless of what he’s going through, he knows he’s not alone. He also had a great support team. Keep on pushing! He’s doing great things!!
“I’m going through my process and I’m going though my journey I’m not looking for any sympathy because I know that God has me” - August Alsina 🖤 . . . omg 😭 I felt that!!!!!
nic satterwh444. Yasss this interview was amazing!!!!!. Everything August said was relatable and I felt his pain. 🗣 {from my experience} Whenever I’m down in the dumps, I don’t look for sympathy either I just travel back in time and remember how far God has brought me and think about how far he’s going to take me. - All Love , 💓✨.
@@kileddy436 don't understand there are so many people in the world who have a issue with expressing themselves well he's in tune with his feelings and he has a great understanding of who he is and what he's been through so what she was saying is that is kind of dope to see a male especially be so in tune with themself.
Such an amazing young man..... I can see why Jada got entangled. She probably still loves him deeply....he's hard not to love. He's so deep and definitely an old soul. He's embraced his pain and knows it's part of his process. Those kids will definitely keep him strong snd determined to be around for them. Empaths long to get back to that place of peace, love and harmony...the non-existence of hate, greed and negative energy
August is an empath like myself, it’s a gift and a curse. It gives you an abundance of compassion and understanding for people on a deep level but it also opens you up to feel people’s pain and negative energy as if it were your own, which can drain you.
Angie Taylor yes!!! I totally related to him when he got talking about being able to feel everything around him so deeply.. that’s how I am. I’m like a sponge, I absorb everything. I think ppl like us r more prone to depression.
graceandbeauty We definitely are more prone to depression. Being an empath can be a very isolating thing especially when the people around you don’t understand what it is. It’s been a life long battle for me to learn how to balance and protect my energy.
Angie Taylor you r on point baby girl! i am an empath as well(and a cancer ♋️). Also, it is as almost people gravitate towards me and want to tell me their issues as well, whether or not I know them personally. I pick up vibes and feel what the other person is feeling and it can be extremely draining and make us vulnerable to depression fairly easily. But knowledge is power, and by being aware you can take action to prevent being drained or learn how to recharge. Empaths have the most beautiful gift that many people have no knowledge of and or don’t understand the concept. I didn’t realize till this interview that August is an empath as well. He is so beautiful inside and out. Beautiful soul 💟☮️⚜️Did i mention how sexy this man is omg!!!!!!!!!
When HE SAID HE FEELS THE PAIN OF THE UNIVERSE! I totally understand this! Omg! He’s an EMPATH TOO! 😩 ALL OF THIS ISNT FOR NUTHING!!!! I have always had a SPECIAL place in my heart for August! 💙💜💙
MY OPINION: AUGUST IS YOUNG HE HASN'T EVEN BEGUN TO SPREAD HIS WINGS. LET US NOT FORGET HE WALKED AWAY FROM JADA BECAUSE HE REALIZED SHE WOULD NEVER MAKE HIM A PRIORITY HE SAID HE GAVE HER TIME TO DO IT AND IT WAS THE HARDEST THING HE'D EVER DONE. I THINK EVERYTHING HE'S GOING THROUGH WITH THE DEATH, TAKING CARE OF HIS NIECES, HIS HEALTH PROBLEMS, AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE IT'S OVER WHELMING SO WHEN ASKED ABOUT JADA I BELIEVE IT BROUGHT TEARS TO HIS EYES BECAUSE HE AND JADA HAD A FRIENDSHIP SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO CONSOLE HIM IN HIS TIME OF NEED BUT THE FRIENDSHIP IS OVER AND HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYONE LIKE JADA THAT HE CAN TRUST TO TALK TO AND I THINK HE'S FEELING ALONE, BUT WHAT HE DOESN'T REALIZE IS THROUGH THE GRACE OF "GOD" THIS TO SHAL PASS. IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT KEEP THE FAITH.
Definitely. I can relate to him on so many levels.. I’m an empath too and I like to be in my own space because I pick up people’s energy and how they feel when I let them in.
AUGUST GOD WILL HEAR YOUR CRY, I have cried to God for your salvation. If we all come together and pray for him, may the spirits that watch over him in heaven be awakened to ease this mans pain. Lord release him from bondage, give him the strength to return to his dreams and provide for his children. Lord God, as your servant, hear me. Amen!
I feel the same way when it comes to letting people in my home. I don't want nor need any NEGATIVE ENERGY floating around. Alot of people don't even know where I live. This is also how I was raised.
im so glad i heard a girl say this "people dont know where i live".i went through life like this..until 2018 i fuccd up n let a couple know where i lived n i swear i had regretted it after bc the energy i swear was not good at all after i did that but i went sooooo long not leting ppl know where i stay or in my shit n i figured ok ima try something different but never again..
This what I be trying to tell my brother, he live with me, and the people he bring here don't even speak, nothing but drama. He get mad at me and say I mean, or why would somebody speak if I look mean. What ...people energy tell alot about them. I have enough stuff on my plate, don't need nobody else demons or bad energy in my home......he don't get it
This young lady is an AMAZING interviewer! Hats off to her first of all! Secondly, I've always felt like August's spirit is so genuine and authentic! We are blessed to have him in this world! Jada as well! Sensitivity is a gift to this world that we live in! Thank you August for gracing us with such a beautiful interview. Praying for you
I said the same thing! She allowed him to work through what he needed to say, and that was wonderful. Plus, they seem so comfortable sitting there together. Like 2 old friends chopping in up one night. Salute to her, and much love to him.
Yea! My oldest is a fan. She had said the same u had said. Just because they are stars that doesn't mean they doesn't have problems and be hurting. I am happy he let them shares his story to us. God Bless! She had said only if she can give him a hug and listen everyone need someone to listen too🙏
I’m not in anyway sad for him, I’m truly proud of happy for him. He’s not letting his losses define him, he’s growing as person and as a man. I salute you August and love you my brother, hold your head. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You can see his heart is breaking when he talks about Jada. He is def tearing up. His glasses become foggy. He is crying poor guy. The way he inhales and exhales. He wanna breathe he's trying so hard to bring out the words. But he's being very careful. Damn he really loved and still loves Jada. And he even is talking like her. Wow. He didn't speak like this before. Wow. This man is broken. I hope he heals and find true love. He shouldn't be like this. But that's what love does to you. To her it was an entanglement but to him it was real love.
@@terriekurney6548 I dont think he was blind about it I believe she totally convinced him that she would be there forever. I pray he finds that same type of love again.
This man has been suffering for so long now. He has grown so much from this and he will come out stronger but we need to make sure we, as his fans, support him on any new projects he releases. We love you August and are praying for your swift healing.
@ 3:20 I cried with you bro. Men and their trauma: there is pain from childhood to adulthood that is forced to be suppressed and carried on due to toxic masculinity and a patriarchal standard.. please continue to have these tough conversations and share your story as you go through your process and journey.. it helps, it's therapy, it's a cleansing, thank you young King, peace and one love ✌❤👑 - Zach Van Harris JR
This is so important to heal! We really are trying to create a space for this to be possible if you're interested in joining us on this endeavor please email aydholistic@gmail.com! Peace and blessings brother!
I'm crying watching this..He's ascending spiritually and internally...People think you're loosing your mind, but in reality you're ascending into your purpose and cutting out what is no longer benefiting your greater good and embracing all that is beneficial to your internal greater good...I totally get the not allowing many in your home due to negative energies that ppl carry through your space..Sending my brotha healing energy, strength energy, and divine guidance💪✊💜👑🎯💯
Father God in the name of Jesus i asked you to watch over this young man august alsina you know what he's going through cover him with your blood giving him peace guidance and .strength in the name of JESUS AMEN☀️☀️...
This interview touched not only my heart, but my soul. I’ve watched August blow up in music and fall tremendously. From losing his brother, issues with his mom, to being in a coma, pills...he’s been through a lot and to even sit down doing this interview he’s courageous. I wish him the best, as long as you have faith in god you can live life the best way you can
IMMA FOLLOW BEHIND YOU HUN.@KeitaB❤ WE GONNA BEAR HUG & JUST HOLD ON TO HIM SO TIGHT. HE WILL FEEL OUR LOVE POURING ON HIM WITH NO SYMPATHY JUST PURECWE LOVE YOU, WE FEEL YOU, WE SUPPORT YOU& WE HERE. YOU DONT NEVER HAVE 2 BE ALONE💯.❤🤗☝🏿💪🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He is hitting me when he said “I am going through my process and my journey and I am not looking for any sympathy...” yes he does have you! Keep searching for him!
Omg I been crying for a full hour y’all . I feel everything that August said . I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression . I have been doing the exact same thing figuring out who I am spiritually, the things that make me happy in life ? And so much more . I’m a loner too august I feel every hurt you feeling and I know your truly hurting and it pains me to see you like this. I don’t blame you for feeling so much pain from the world and the industry and even any were of every were . I love you so much you did motivate me you did just gave me a drive to do better for me . I wish on a genuine level I could meet you . I’m not famous at all . And it’s not about fame . We all wish to be famous . You motivate me to write songs of my own . I have not shared them with any one . And I get the silence of the home . How we stay in our thoughts and away from most people . I’m still just in awe !! This is truth . And it’s blessed how wife becomes hard and how our strength keeps us going . Wow . Man I needed to see this video . God drove me right to it . Thank you so much for me to be able to see this . Oh thank god I heard all the points in this video .
COSME HIGHNESS. Honey keep your head up . Keep on moving no matter how much it hurting . If there was a world with out no pain we wouldn’t be as wise as we can be today . Being human is so complex . But loving and accepting to live with pain is a blessing to be come stronger , be come the greatest impact for others . We ain’t in this alone .
Baby Don't Go I completely agree . If I can have strength to put my impact out there . There would be a movement !! We all hurting . It’s upsetting it’s sad . But we shall always remain our selves and spread love to every heart . God bless . It may be weighing you down but life is a struggle , a fight , a empire . We shall run our own lives in our own control .
I like how he said you in my house.An I don't allow just any energy in home. Protect your energy. Keep yourself grounded. He is a empath to feel everything so deeply
Him describing the fact that he couldn’t bring his nieces mother back, especially since they look at him as the person who they look to for everything I felt that
This man's soul is so beautiful, he is so deep, so passionate, a real human being. You can touch his emotions literally! OMG. He is so blessed. He is just beautiful. Hang in there AL, every little thing is gonna be alright. Lots of Hugs & kisses.
The interviewer conducted this very well. These types of conversations are quite heavy to have especially as a young journalist . She was poised and sensitive to his feelings while meticulously easing into different topics. August is such a wise multifaceted individual x
Find yourself a matured African best friend and you will know you've found a bestfriend for life, African women are so nurturing caring and naturally protective, they're such good dependable confidants who will never share your secrets. I thank God for my best friend
He looks healthy.... He is definitely an EMPATH and very spiritual...he must protect his energy or else he will remain in a dark space. Feeling everybody's energy is a gift and a curse. I understand this whole heartedly, depression is inevitable.
I AM MARGARITA When you’re an empath, you pick up on others emotions, almost, instantly, if not, instantly. The downfall though, is that you try to take on the problems of the world. You feel like you have to. While at the same time taking on your own problems. The world can start to become a very dark place. I feel like the ratio of empaths to none pathetic people, is small. This in return can make you feel like the world is a dark place. You feel alone. That begins to make you depressed. Back to that ratio, no one really cares or asks if you’re ok. They don’t even notice. You’re left fighting your demons, by yourself. I think this is how some people commit suicide. I vowed not to, though. I think August is like me. We don’t wanna be weak and succumb to our problems, because if we fight and make it, it will make us strong. And if we lose to our demons, the ones we care for will suffer. I love when he speaks about being connected to the world and the universe. He’s definitely spiritually awakened due to trauma. As am I .
This was a great interview frfr, ! He’s more centered now it seems and about being himself with no apologizes. Sometimes god takes you on a not so good journey in order for you to see your potential and purpose In life, he’s on the right path now and we will see great things in the future 😊 love and light AA ❤️🙏🏾
August you are one of God's strongest soldiers. You have the soul of a king and a heart of gold. And you will continue to be abundantly blessed for the passion you have, for the people you love, your willingness to forgive and by the positive energy you choose to spread. Your a very wiseman. 🙏
Whoever the women is that holds the title of a wife to this man would be an honor , whoever the person is that’s in this mans presence will be grateful , whoever has the the God willing blessing of crossing him in life, being the man he is is blessed by his time. He’s fruitful.. seamlessly beautiful on the out and in. Magnificent Human being and it take God to walk through you to make you this type of Man. I hope Hope Men understand that this is a Man of worthiness because his words hold weight and love. He will be blessed upon God.
He’s been through so much at such a young age...struggled with his relationship with his mother, drug addicted father, his brother murdered, his brothers children’s mother passing, his many medical issues and surgeries and now raising 3 little girls. I pray for his strength.
@Kriss he left Jada after his sister died Christmas 2018 so it could have been in 2019 or for all we know 2020 with Jada slick ass.He never gave a date.
I love jada pinkett Smith I swear she's like a mother figure and a beautiful soul sister to sooooooo many people in the industry it's amazing to see someone helping out the youngsters 💎💎✨😍🌹
Praying for him and his nieces Daily🙏🏾 ... I love his music and him as a person so much I’m so happy for him and his success.. no matter how long he needs to get himself together I will always support him ❣️❣️❣️ Much love for him been supporting since Testimony
There are not many rappers/ singers who acknowledge GOD in their life . He is one of few tht truly knows who he belongs to and he knows what healing god will bring ! He will be a blessing ! To those fallen around him ! God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers! And he by far is a warrior god doesn’t make any mistakes if he brought you to it he will most certainly bring you through it ! Just hold on !
Sorry... when he talks about his journey, it hit a cord in my heart. My heart aches for him and I pray he gets better for him. I’ve been in his place, as well as his niece’s place and the feeling of longing ever goes away. You just learn how to cope with it. I really want to hold him and tell him the light is coming. I’m praying for him
I feel his pain!! My Mother passed away Sunday November 18,2018 it hurts so bad! The tears definently was falling! I thank God for holding him during this time in his life! I see God in August! There is a great anointing on his life that is why the devil is fighting him so hard.
Luvufirst when he said he feels everything, even the things that aren’t his...I screamed. I’m an empath and that statement was so real to me! This interview had me in tears.
"There are certain things you learn about God through suffering " this guy is a wise and mature soul and he is so deep , not shallow like the youths we have nowadays, I was spellbound as i watch him talk .
This video just makes me want to change everything in my life for the better I can feel his emotions and his pain God got you and will continue to heal and help you throughout everything in your life
And to find out LATER for her to simply say they were in an "Entanglement" was triviaizing their relationship and THAT came to "his" light...and brought about his song.."Entanglements"...she obviously was in a different place during her and his relationship...smdh...(and because he loved her, HE walked away from HER....)
He left her he cut her off and cut all communications from her off! Cause he realised he deserved better. Jada Smith was a grown woman and a mother she should off never even looked at this young man her sons friend!!! And thought I’m gona suck ya dick!!!
Man isn’t it crazy how the ones who manage to show us true beauty in the world are the ones who have the most internal demons. August been through a lot. I just hope in time, he can reach true happiness....because Sometimes I have days where I struggle if it’s even real, especially for someone who battles this level of hardships. But I have hope that it is, and that august reaches that
Salute to you young brother. It’s a lot when we have to embrace the hardships that the world puts on our shoulders. Just stay strong and continue to use the music as an outlet for your joy as well as your pain. Very heartfelt interview. “Fear everything and run or face everything and rise” Rise my young brother, Rise. I’m so proud to be black!!!!
SUPER LEXX Love to see my black kings encouraging each other❤ Black men are strong and resilient. They carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and don't get enough appreciation.
I said the SAME thing!! I want someone who is intune with their spirituality. This interview was everything! He's not broken...he is healing. Hell...I still get choked up talking about my past.
Honey Lush it’s going to end ugly when you date a married person. We are hard on side chicks and make fun of them ... I guess we are more sympathetic for a side “dude” ??
@@reneeedmonds8685 I'm stop playing this rocking the baby for August alsina because he is not a victim he knew what he was getting into he knew she was married
@@nylabellinger7779 yeah, because she preyed on him. Who is to say she promised to divorce will. If it was the other way around, you wouldn’t have said that ignorant mess.
I feel his energy! He is such an inspirational person. I have always liked August Alsina! After his story a week ago, I have learned to LOVE THIS MAN! I love his new album. August I am rooting for you.
I love august so much i almost named my son august ... The industry did not deserve him glad he is on his own and finding himself and in touch with god, im so sorry i would have broke down crying with him And gave him a Really big hug.
I wish I could NOT relate to his pain and anguish. Some loss is so hard to process and I understand. I am truly praying for him and his nieces...May God touch him from the crown of his head to soles of his feet with his healing touch.....
August go to therapy. I go every week and have been going for the past 3 years. We all dealt with a lot growing up in the hood. My therapist told me that my upbringing was like I lived through a war. I seen and heard so much. Love you brother!
Don't Care I could care what people think. I knew what I needed to do for me and my 4 children. I had a very rough upbringing. I just didn’t think it was like a war. It was normal to me.
this man music kept me out of juvenile.. whenever I thought " This is the end''I cut his album on and my whole mood change.. dude has a wonderful soul and music to match!...moma I made it/ downtown/ testimony.....these songs will 4EVER be on my playlist
God we come before in every way possible, please look after him and give him the strength and courage to go on even if he feels he cant. For we trust in you with everything.
I agree. He has a good spirit, I can definitely discern that. With the amount of times Satan has came for his life, you know God has a great calling for this man.
That is theeee most precise speculation on here as God has begun a Work in us all. We are always in the Blip to BE his instrument. I hope that brother Aug does choose Life
