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.

“I devoted myself to it, I gave my full self to it.”

He claimed the Pursuit of Happyness star was in on the affair, saying: “I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation. He gave me his blessing.”

The comment generated buzz among fans, many of whom wondered about the status of Jada and Will’s marriage.

The couple addressed the situation on Red Table Talk the same year .

According to the Matrix Reloaded actress, she and Will were separated when she and August got involved.

She confirmed that they were in a relationship more than four years prior to her discussing it.

Jada said on the Facebook Watch series: “We were over.

“From there, as time went on, I got into a different kid of entanglement with August.”

Will then chimed in, saying: “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.”

Jada admitted that her “entanglement” was a “relationship.”

AUGUST TELLS ALL

Sources close to August said his story was at the centre of a bidding war between several book publishers.

An insider said: “August is getting ready to sign a big money book deal which will detail his romantic liaisons with Jada.

“He has always maintained that Will gave him permission to sleep with Jada, something they have publicly denied.

“August will go into detail about his time with Jada and will also speak about how he spent time living in homes owned by Will when he was away filming.

“As well as speaking about their relationship at that time, August wants to open up about the aftermath of going public and how it affected him personally and his career.
