Jada Pinkett Smith’s ex August Alsina raps about their ‘entanglement’ in new song after her husband Will’s Oscars slap
Jada Pinkett Smith's ex August Alsina referenced their "entanglement" on a new song following the 2022 Oscars.
During the awards show, Jada's husband Will Smith slapped host Chris Rock after a poorly received joke at her expense.
Amid fallout from the Oscars, August released a new song that alludes to his unconventional relationship with Jada – dubbed an "entanglement."
On the song, titled Shake the World, the New Orleans native rapped: "Well, of course some s**t is bound to go down when there's a billion dollars on the elevator.
"Well, of course some s**t is bound to go down when you tangled up with the world's favorite."
Many fans assumed the line was a reference to their romance, which she and her husband opened up about on Red Table Talk.
