August Alsina, the R&B vocalist with whom Pinkett Smith, 50, admittedly shared an extramarital “entanglement,” appears to be exhuming the twisted details of their since-bedded relationship in a new song, “Shake the World.”
“Well, of course some s – – t is bound to go down when you tangled up with the world’s favorite,” Alsina, 29, sings on the track, which he teased via his Instagram profile Monday.
His controversial lyrics come amid the chaos sparked by Pinkett Smith’s husband of nearly three decades, Will Smith, 53, who infamously slapped comedian Chris Rock, 57, for teasing the actress about her short hair during the Oscars on March 27.
Elsewhere in the ditty, Alsina — who forged an extremely close and public bond with Pinkett Smith in 2015, and openly confessed to their romantic relationship in 2020 — also makes reference to getting canceled after the leading lady confirmed their affair, alongside a crestfallen Smith, on her Facebook series “Red Table Talk,” in July 2020.
“I heard I was canceled,” croons the musician on the track. “Well, let’s not speak on that. Red dot on my back, I became a target. And I’m flawed but flawless, that’s what makes me August.”
