stateofEMERGEncy: The Rise of August Alsina - Episode 5 - "TRUTH" 

Scars is my favorite. Spoke volumes for all the hoods in this f'd up country.

All of em!

All of them are unique and amazing on their own. The layers are raw and insightful. Much respect, love and appreciation for you Mr. Alsina!!

I agree

It’s impossible to choose just one. Each one gave me a different view, feeling and understanding. Perfectly executed

When was he molested?😧

@@isidoraveronica FR? WHEN

@@isidoraveronica 12:23 I FOUNDED IT

Man or woman molested him? This is so sad 😭 luv u AA

Kandy SO SWEET Jordan im not sure

I wish all the people who got something terrible to say about this man can just go back and really research him. There has been so much judgement from people based on an admittance of his on truth that has been proven to be true. He had no ill words to say. Just his truth. You can feel his broken but humble spirit. His ability just to keep moving through his trials and tribulations is inspirational. He's a young man that's had to endure what most couldn't survive. To pass out on stage and go into a coma them still days later manage to perform for his fans showed his strength and love for the people who support him. It saddens me to see him get attacked the way he has. That goes back to the purpose of my post to this comment, it is true, you can not heal what you don't reveal, is completely truth. Your comment hit it on the nail. My prayers are with him 🙏. We all have to live, learn and grow up and keeping things bottled up prevents us from moving forward. Seems like that's exactly what he's trying to do.

Enjoy this young man while he is here in our presence.

LOVE IT!!! He just blessed millions 🙏

@@jaytyes3972 very true

Factz 💯 💯

Yup

Best comment ❤️

I love ur postive inspiring comments. Yes I TOTALLY AGREE that sometimes u have to distant your self from friends n family that causes u more harm n stress. Yes its true as a nurse I KNOW how the body reacts to stress especially with serious illness. Stress can kill u, it attacks your auto immune system. I have a disability that requires me to not stress about anything or anybody. U need your MENTAL STATUS 2B COHERENT N COINSICIDE WITH YOUR PHYSICAL BEING. I HOPE AUGUST CONTINUES TO STAY POSITIVE MENTALLY STRONG AS I'M SURE HE WILL. HE HAS ALREADY SHOWN MEGA STRENGTH CONSIDERING WHAT HE PAINFULLY ENDURE N HIS LIFE AT A YOUNG MATURE AGE. ONCE AGAIN UR COMMENTS WAS SOOOOO TRUE, ENLIGHTENING N INSPIRING TO READ!! OH BTW GOD BLESS U ALSO WITH UR ILLNESS, STAY UP N POSTIVE AS WELL. I KNOW U WILL JUST BY READING UR BEAUTIFUL COMMENTS THAT U HAVE A SPECIAL LOVING MENTALITY, TAKECARE.

@@adriennelowe644 I was not surprised to find out he was a Virgo at all. We have to get it out. It will continue to bother our souls.

Amen

Cupcake, Well done,, continue to strive for excellence..

I’m proud of you. May God richly bless you and your sons 🙏🏾.

Yes you are not alone & the best feeling in the world is to look at your kids ( I got two girls ) and say I did that ( protected them & broke the curse...some continue the curse ( while others dnt want their children to experience what they been threw

same🙌🏽💯✔

Exactly

Shit hit HARD

One of my college friends, she and her husband are pretty "well-to-do," and have raised their kids in private schools - she has said the same thing - that she fears for her kids in the real world because their childhoods have been so great! I don't wish a bad childhood on anybody - because I had one, but for people who have very peaceful, tulips and daffodil-type childhoods, there should be a checklist on things to teach them about living in the "real world" so they will be prepared when adversity comes their way.

For some maybe... But for the rest of us we learn early how the world really is... The fact that we survive the situations we're faced with proves how resilient humans really are. It's a beautiful thing when you can look behind you and see how struggles create growth.

That's real, it truly doesn't

Tanika Williams same sis😂😂👏🏽

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shoot yo shot sis!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

You Single??

She went right IN😂👌🏾

right? smh

🤦🏾‍♀️ hes a grown ass man...yall reaching man..like he ain't sexualize her...like she a damn predator or sumn.

Same thing I said

@@jessicagreen3963 I don't know how old you are but comparing a vulnerable 22 year old to a worldly 40 something woman is no contest. August may have grown up in the streets but he was still a man child. He was not raised properly by an adult. Childish people cannot raise children. He clearly had or has mother issues. Jada should have known better.

Who molested him? And his mother is terrible! Stop forgiving child molesters. They don’t deserve it- just go be great I’m your life. You don’t have to forgive those monsters! And what the hell was Jada thinking?!

Amen! 🙌

Yes Lord 🙏🏽

Exactly

Facts tell your testimony

So true I felt this

Amen!

He wouldn't give you anything you can't handle in the name of Allah

Well said

I needed to read this AMEN!!🙌🏾

💯🙏🏾

And an abundance of STRENGTH 🙏🏾

@@misswilliams5389 AMEN SISTER👏🏼👏🏼

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Matthew 5:3‭-‬4‭, ‬6‭-‬26 KJV bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.3-26.KJV

Amen

Amen

...Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all.

@Gorgon Don that's cause you don't know him. Give the Lord a chance you won't regret it

I do #Augustnation 💯💯💯💯💯

Me

I do

I do

I been waiting for his comeback . I knew he’d bounce back

Jada’s minions

I think your comment alone, at this moment is enough to offset those haters. Number wise atleast

I know that’s right sis

Facts

Only an evil person would thumbs down. They dont want the Light to shine to Lead others out of darkness.

Right!!!

Paresha Powell not to identify with it to acknowledge that it happened so you can release it

You have to light to fly🕊🕊

Thank you Mama Bella, I am from Liberia, I respect your views. My bro Augustine give your life to Jesus Christ, keep praying and trust no one but God.

📣 truth

that was exactly what he said he does. forgave and keeps his distance

Dee Buns maybe some not all. He deals with his mother.

Had to learn this the hard way. Went back home after 4 years cos I was not comfortable about being around my grandmother cos she abused me physically a year after my parents died when I was 8 years old. It was a tough situation .

Me neither 💔💔💔💔

Ar'Yanaa Linnear molested by man or woman?

@@alexisbangin by a woman

Amen!!

@@tenisharenee9875 People just don't know HOW BLESSED they are

Larnesha Davis this Is so very true sis ❤️

God does that

Amen💙

Life of Jada I hope you accomplish all those dreams one day🙌🏾

I hope all of your wishes come true

wish you the best babe 💓

You can do it!!!!

..you saying you been there for him since day 1?

Bless him 🙏🏼 🥰🥰

@@flowers3720 I'm saying I've been supportive since the day I met him..

@@jaminiquejackson What part of Houston you in? I'm south east

@@jerinbrowder2468 I stay n spring now.. but I grew up off Yellowstone and MLK.. went to Yates

Beautifully stated.

Frrrrr the love is real😭

Yess oo😊

He also has 3 nieces, that crazy Alie.

WTF???

❕❕

Facts!

This is also true for people who harass others. It's sad and both issues need to stop.

LET us all pray to the HEAVENLY father for continued strength for August Alsina... Though he appeared strong in our eyes we still do not know how he is truly enduring these issues. I sincerely pray that God will continue to do his will in his life and direct his path... Cover him LORD as you see fit and let your will be done..

Those words were beautiful 😢😭❤

You said everything I felt watching this Episode!! @AugustAlsina You have a Destiny and you are running towards it as it screams your name!!! You are going to receive so much just off of this documentary alone❤️ (Not going to say what that MUCH is because it’s going to show up in so many facets) #OneLove

Woooow! you also touched my heart😰🤯🙏Peace and Love to you lady❤

That is exactly, how I feel. He is a MAN. Young men, should look him up and see how a man handles life struggles and difficulties. If us black women had a real MAN like that. Maybe we could be healed too and feel are woth more. Real men, who can see past our breast and hips and thighs. Black men, who want to explore our minds, instead of our bodies. MEN who can show real intimacy. I love his new song Pretty. I feel like it describes, not just black women, but women in general. August, was asking how can us, as women go through so much and still be so beautiful? Scares are beautiful ladies. Stretch marks, and cellulite are beautiful. Real men understand that. But, as black women our ancestors pride and endurance runs in our veins. Know your worth ladies. I feel, in my heart a black women can truly understand a black man and his struggles more, than any other race can. Black love is complex, beautiful, messy, crazy. And you know, I would not want it any other way. Love you August. 💜💜💜

Xiviera Little 🙏🏾 Thank you!

This is such a beautiful piece❤️. Everything I would’ve wanted to say. Thank you🤍🤍

I want to believe they are kindred souls, but not meant for this lifetime.

I don’t think she did. In fact, I think she helped him. He quit the drugs, started working out and changing his life. They looked happy together but Jada wasn’t leaving Will so he removed himself from the situation.

Jada took advantage of a broken soul for her own selfish desires, but in the end--God had a better plan. August is more enlightened, and now on a path of healing so he can use his gift(s) to help/heal others.

ingenueGi True BUT if he dates again, he is going to have some serious trust issues. It may take him some years to heal from that relationship/entanglement situation.

I agree hey ..straight up agree

Love that quote!

Right somebody always gotta hate on him

The devil always show his head!!! But will NEVER win.

Im not the one that put the thumbs down. Just to let you know. I follow the leader. Not the pack. I'm the first to defend anyone who somone has a problem with. Have a nice night

@sherita wilson who said you put a thumbs down? I didn't know who did it, I never called anyone out by name.

Right amen sister

@Rasul Daniels, amen!

"Im from New Orleans a whole nother state." We were made different than you people. Your gangster and my predator aren't the same. Upt3

He’s done a lot of inner child/ childhood trauma/ psychology work. Thank god he’s had therapy and the awareness to address his past because omg it’s a lot for one person to take. I truly hope he only lives blissfully for here on out because he deserves it.

Amen! I pray for healing and restoration for August and his family. In the name of Jesus!

Maybe he lucky to have a mom like her. Broken people push you into your purpose too

Did she molest him?

Ebony Kisses No his mother did not molest him. Someone else in his family did, August told his mother what happened and asked her not to say anything and he felt betrayed because his mom didn’t keep it a secret.

ShaunChelle that’s the craziest part... he’s still so young 😔
