Will Smith has been a trending Twitter topic at least twice this month — and not because of a new movie or guest verse. On Sunday (July 19), the seasoned actor/MC was internet fodder once again after August Alsina’s lyrics to his latest song “Entanglements” were deemed highly disrespectful to Will.
As previously reported, Alsina dropped the song over the weekend, which found the 27-year-old singer taking a deep dive into his affair with Will’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith. The title itself is a reference to the discussion Jada and Will had on an episode of her Facebook series Red Table Talk in which she refers to her time with Alsina as an “entanglement.”
But the verses are what really set Twitter off. After explaining, “The definition of entanglement (No, oh-woah, oh, oh)/It’s when you’re tangled in the sheets,” Alsina (with the help of Rick Ross) provides intimate details about what went on behind closed doors.
“I’m bein’ honest baby, don’t want no strings attached (Uh-uh)/You just want a nigga that’s gon’ break your back (Break your back),” he sings. “I’m half? No, I ain’t ’bout to play with that (Play with that). You left your man to fuck with me, just to pay him back/Don’t you know that’s cold hearted?
“Once you gone, no comin’ back/Girl, you fuckin’ with a youngin’, I be doin’ shit you like/Don’t do talkin’ when I see you, all your hear’s love sounds/Goin’ round for round, you want a nigga that take you down (This a special bond but it ain’t true).”
August Alsina On Alleged Jada Pinkett Smith Affair: ‘I Just Simply Want The Chains Off’
Alsina initially defended Jada’s use of the word “entanglement,” telling Vulture, “I don’t know why that word is such an issue. I would agree [with Jada]. If you look up the definition of ‘entanglement,’ it is a complex and difficult relationship. It was exactly that. I think it’s just the language that probably stuck out to people. But I definitely have to agree with it being an entanglement. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic.”
Releasing a song about it took things to a whole other level, something not lost on Twitter.

August really released a song called Entanglement and the lyrics will just give Will sleepless nights. August isn't backing down and man is busy reminding Will how he loves to pin Jada and fuck her. Oh well ?♂️
"Real Man" is not a compliment. Will Smith will suffer
