stateofEMERGEncy: The Rise of August Alsina - Episode 4 - "WHAT IS LOVE?" 

"I'm not even crying for myself.... I'm crying for those little girls." 😭😭😭 that killed me

Transparency is Freedom! August freed himself through these documentaries, nobody can hurt him anymore! August Alsina is Free

Can you imagine the endless stories of other kids just like August...that will never be told :'(

"God gave a man tearducts, and he can cry." Realest statement I've heard in awhile!

August makes me want to confront my childhood traumas head on. I love how transparent and real he is.❤️❤️

To see him build himself from bad places or situations that threw him off is inspiring not to just me but to others,mane I love August,he is so strong physically and mentally❤❤

For those confused, August calls Chandra his “sister” but she was his sister-in-law, wife of his brother Mel. August knew her his whole life. She was like a big sister.

"There is not enough time on this Earth...for us to fake ANYTHING"#💓💓💓 I felt that in my SOUL

🥺🥺🥺. He went through so many shit but still have a smile on his face 🥺😔

Everything he's been through is preparing him for greatness. He deserves all the blessings that God has been serving to him. 💛💛😍

The clip when August and Tasha Cobbs was singing My God! God is using you August he always has been. August has definitely grown Spiritually

I hope he finds true love in his life. He is so deserving of LOVE

This makes me feel so close to him ... He's so open and vulnerable..

It's a reason he has survived everything he's gone through; his mission is bigger then him & I'm So happy he's able to get this pain out and I hope he works through it all💜

I like how August said his children when talking about his nieces he is such a good dude stepping up and to be their legal guardian

August is also a poet. He speaks so deep, this man has an old soul. He is wise Beyond his years.Keep holding your head up August and continue to be the best uncle/ Father to those girls. 💙💓💓💓

“Every little girl needs there mother” I felt that my mom past away this year from cancer and there are nights when I just cry in disbelief. . . My little sister is only 8 and I’m 16. But God always has his reasons in why this may happen to an individuals life. 🕊♥️

Damn when he cried about his brother I felt that hurt then his sister damn he endured so much pain . Man I just want to hug him and his aunty teedy... Made me cry

He needs more credit. He is a superstar all around person. MAN

I dont comment much on RU-vid.. but i must say this doc has literally brought tears to my eyes .. omg.. this young man is not even 30 yet, and he has the strength, and pain of a man that has lived twice his age. AUGUST you are a king, and you deserve these acalades that is coming to you! Most people arbt brave enough to live in there truth, because they don't want to expose the ugly parts.. and that is what makes you great.. you deserve it all !! Congratulations to you sir..

He is a big role model to his Nieces. Watch these episodes and listening to him explain the struggle that he has be through and then watching him cry and then put a smile his face, it put a smile on my face. I really love August and I am happy that I can see and watch him grow to that strong man that he is becoming.

“ dat actually rhymes, I’m dope “. 😭😭😂❤️❤️

This documentary is getting better and better by the episode.

The way his face lights up when he talks about his nieces 🥰🥰🥰 dear God this soul need to see this thru 🙏

The fact that he’s still trying to heal and grow from things in his past and now he has to be that person to also help his nieces do the same. Lord continue to keep them wrapped in your arms and allow the blessings to overflow. 💛

He’s getting closer to the Lord! May God continue to bless him-I pray he doesn’t experience anymore deaths in his life.. you can tell his heart needs a break😢😢

I see a good man in August. He just simply fell in love with the wrong person and love is truly blind y'all....we don't get to choose who we fall in love with. He surely woke up from the dream and he will be happy in the end, who are we to judge? Let him without sin cast the first stone! I don't care what nobody says but that is a good man with a kind heart. Bless him.

So glad he's still in touch with God cause the industry is evil.

Love is seeing someone’s battle wounds and them seeing yours and not running but staying anyways ❤️💋

I love when he talk about his nieces/naughters ♥️

somehow, somewhere This episode gonna save someone life .... I BELIEVE THAT...

God has had his hands on August since the beginning . He’s supposed to be here & he has a mission on this Earth . He’s so talented & open ❤️

the way he admires his nieces

His sister in law loved Mel so much, she couldn't move on! She held that love and grief inside her... it may have been cancer but its more to it

His documentary is a masterpiece. He really opened himself up to the world & explain his trauma . He is so strong

I love this route that August is taking, diving deep into himself.

Sometimes God takes you through things to prepare you for roles you never imagined you would have!!

Did yall catch how he rhymed when he was explaining wat love is he really has a way with words and i love how he thinks before he speaks

This docuseries is better than anything on OWN, TV One, and BET right now. Thank you for producing this yourself so YOU can be transparent with your life. Your story is a lot of people's story. It resonates. 🙏🏾

Man dude been thru hell and back no lies much respect for him and his family

He speaks of his nieces with so much love you can see it in his eyes #naughters 🥺🤍

PAIN births PURPOSE. Many times we don't understand the "WHY" things happen. 💎 are formed from PRESSURE. The fact that you've been through all this and still able to STAND today. You're STRONG and this is your year.

Once he truly falls in love...a mutual love full of freedom to be...he will realize that what he felt with 'the predator' was just an illusion. I hope he lives long and loves continuously in order to experience that.

This, by far, is one of the most authentic human experience I have ever seen. I am telling you that this young man is beautiful inside and out, amazing amazing soul. Jada missed out on the best love story of her life, with a beautiful and selfless and authentic and prolific and and generous and harmonious soul. But August's pure soul would not have stood a chance against black hollywood royalty, and Jada chose stability and status because she would have paid a heavy social price for being with him. But she tried. I believe she tried. But reality sunk in. I am blessed to have watched this story of triumph over such an unfortunate series of sad circumstances. August, I did not know you at all before all this saga, but I am happy and proud to have SEEN you. Yes, we see you. Poetic purity in human form. Hang in there

This man is intriguing! Every episode I’m falling for him more❤️ want to see him win ! and on another note, I know some people was trashing him for allegedly exposing Jada in “Nunya” song BUT she’s not innocent.. she was married and August was very young, in a tough space and very vulnerable! she knew what she was getting into.

When August said “it’s not enough time in this world for us to fake anything” he wanted the world to know he loved this woman, he wanted to be with her, he wanted to marry her, he didn’t wanna deprive himself of that.

August is a good hearted person and an old soul. Great documentary.

I just learned of this man due to the Jada thing, but, he is blessed with God in his heart, I am a 65 yr old Hispanic woman but, I see in his eyes that God has better plans for him in his Kingdom.

God put him through everthing for a reason God knew he was gonna become this successful

Out of any of these artists out her August is more authentic and real he shows he not perfect he makes me connect with him on a different level 🥺he so strong man

When he said “everyone little girl need her mother” i cried because I just lost mines to ovarian cancer and it kinda triggered something

Thanks to Jada and her brokenness, we now have a deeper understanding of this brilliant soul. This young man is amazing

I'm a ♍ myself and we have so much empathy and compassion towards people. We always want to fix people problems even when sometimes can't fix ourselves. August you have a ❤ of gold.

To watch him explain what love is just touches me, Love is something that we’ve always shown him even when he need our love the most and we gon keep showin him love😘🥰❤️😍

I love his aura and vibe. He seems like a cool dude. After alll his trials and tribulations he is still standing tall. August Alsina is a very talented dude. Keep doing your thing bro. Very smart and educated black man.

I ENTIRELY felt August when he said “a person can be alive and moving one week, and a week later you just Dead... Gone. That shit is mind-blowing to me” I have always felt this way about Death, is how someone can be here one minute and the next they Gone. You’ll never see their face, smile, or hear their voice ever again. It really is fucking mind-blowing.

My mom is EVERYTHING to me. I can’t even begin to imagine losing her. Tomorrow isn’t promised and that honestly scares me so much especially in today’s society. I will forever admire those sweet girls for remaining strong after losing both of their parents because I don’t think I could handle it.

I promise you I can listen to this man talk all day 😭❤️

"Love is patient... "Love is kind... "Love is confusing and Love is blind.. "Love is infinite, forever until the end of time" 💙💙💙

August is WISE and MATURE. Everything he's been through and going through... is preparing him for greatness. He obviously has a calling on his life!! The anointing costs. Got to go through some serious trials and tribulations... and come out with the victory. I pray every generational curse over his life is broken and his spiritual discernment is sharpened so he can "see" every demonic person disguised as a "helper"... before they attack him. I call it done in the Name of Jesus! The Lord has already prepared a very special woman for him who is on his spiritual level. Their bond will never be broken. God bless you August!!!

Real tears man. Real tears. My heart goes out to him, his family and his little naughters. Everyone should be watching this!

The story about August’s brother getting killed breaks my heart everytime. His voice ugh!!!

I wonder why they didn’t sue the hospital for malpractice. That’s so heart breaking.

Y'all are some beautiful Men in Lousiana. Actually, beautiful people period.

The thinking he does before he speaks really shows how his mindset works ❤️ btw Virgo gang ♍️😂

Yaayyy, I thought my RU-vid was gonna break how hard I was refreshing

The respect given to Mel Father, he said be quite and the younger dude went silent.

I pray August finds peace in his life. I think he is beautiful person. I hope he has a solid relationship with a genuine person

Every episode just make you feel sad and good at the same time 💕🤍🥺

This made me like him even more. He’s so real and humble. I love when men are comfortable being vulnerable and just being completely transparent. I’m like that myself but it’s easier for women to be like that then men. Thank you for sharing your world

Damn he is really an well rounded educated Spiritual person...God will bless you because you seem a joy to be in a relationship with..I just hope you're totally healed before you give your heart again so that new relationship can be a success...I truly understand you a little better...Glad you are acknowledging your wrongs and trying to heal and become a better person especially being so young

I WAS WAITING ALL DAY ❗❗ lets keep August trending for the next 2 days so this album can climb these charts❗ He deserves it🐛🦋 TWO MORE DAYS GUYS🐛🦋🌼

When I say I CRIED bruh. His ability to be vulnerable ... is the epitome of Strength. I’ll never stop supporting him 🤍

whew when he was talking about his brother & sister passing the tears started rolling🥺❤️

Him describing that relationship and love/not wasting time was so powerful

This brought tears to my eyes So deep the things he's seen & been through God is definitely working through him! Such a beautiful testimony August you're stronger than ever you're special🙏💕💕

2:02 Love is Patience Love is Kind Love is Confusing and Love is Blind. Love is infinite forever till the end of time. DAMN STR8!

"A person can be alive and moving around one week... and a week later you are just dead. Gone" Felt that shit 😭😭💔💔

God bless him! He is definitely a special person that has a huge calling on his life and the devil hates that! Keep praying for the angels to continue to protect him and his family. I love his heart. You don't see that in everybody.

He went through sooo much. I really appreciate this side of him. Him interacting with his family and sharing his story...cause he didn't have to.

I didn’t know nothing about this dude before the video, now knowing what I know I want this dude to be at peace. Im praying God send him a wonderful wife. He will be a good father, husband, and friend.

“Deeper than it being complex, it was really about not making space for my most true and honest and authentic self.” “Life is so short, it really is. And we are really running out of time. And no one has time to be anything other than who you truly are.” Say that August....

He is so so much and person and woman should be honored to be with such a person loving , caring , healing , respectful , intriguing. All around people won’t get it until they get it. I’m an empath I get it.

When the dad spoke about how he felt. 😩 I think his sister also died from grief and the death of her first love was traumatic. The fact that August acknowledged her as his own sister speaks volumes. Peace be with all them always. 💜

I’m loving this so much 🥺

August is so real...I pray he finds someone that marches his heart

His oldest naughter looks like she has an old and wise spirit

Lost my grandfather, uncle, and friend to cancer.. this made me literally cry

I had the honor of meeting Cha.. she was a beautiful person inside and out!!!💜💜💜

I love this guy, he is something special. Wishing him love and happiness😘🇬🇧

“...the relationship not making space for my expression...” now that is deep and real. So heartfelt and truly unfortunate. Relationships are meant to enable us to be the truest versions of ourselves-not to limit or suppress that. That to me borders on abuse, violation, manipulation and trauma. Fortunately he chose to love himself more. That must have taken a lot of courage and pain. I pray that when the time is right-he is blessed with a healthy relationship, one that will enable him to be a true expression of self. Where he is loved unconditionally-and where he feels honoured, respected and met at his place of need, for we all have our needs. 🙏🙏🙏

Love how he being strong for those girls frfr❤️and they are just as strong, if not stronger.

AUGUST YOU WERE PUT HERE ON THIS UNIVERSE TO LOVE AND BE LOVED!!! YOU ARE SO POWERFUL MAY GOD BLESS YOU I KNOW THIS JOURNEY CAN BR ROUGH, We both struggle with health issues... Read the woman with the issue of blood.... Health problems are a tool to bring us closer to the lord and to surrender our selves 100% ... Complete faith in the lord will always set us free for eternal bliss of union with source✨👑 YOU ARE A TRUE ROLE MODEL STAY STRONG KEEP THAT HEAD UP TOWARDS THE CLOUDS WE LOVE YOU

Keep on being you. You are a very strong black man. Everything that was meant to break you kept you on your feet by the grace of God. You truly have angels guiding you, protecting you, and keeping your spirit lifted. You have a mission to complete. Keep on pushing. 😘🤗❤️🙏🏿🙌🏿 God got'chu. 💪🏿

This is moving, inspirational and authentic. If more people was just be honest about their stories. Imagine how many lives would be changed, healed and restored. My God. God has a calling on his life.

Lord just keep protecting this man. Continue to heal him physically and spiritually.

Love is blind, he ain’t never lied about that.

Mad respect for this young man. Hes taken tragedies and turned them into hope. Hes taken a rough life, to stardom, to becoming an instant father of 3 over night. Very few men could or would do this. I hope he takes his babies and moves them to the safest place, so he can watch them blossom and bloom into beautiful women, at his hands. That's where the real reward is.

Lord wrap your arms around August. Let's heal this young man & every young man that's hurting on the inside. Chicago

This man has endured so much .. like, where does he find the strength?
