The New Orleans singer August Alsina seems to make headlines again for a piece of significant news after his alleged ‘coming out as gay’ on the popular reality show ‘The Surreal Life,’ on VH1 was telecasted last night.
In the episode, August Alsina opened up about his concept of love. Even though Alsina has not mentioned a word about his sexuality in the bit directly, people had been labeling the footage as the coming out video of Alsina.
He also made headlines following the news of being associated with Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of actor Will Smith. It was revealed that the two were together for a brief period of time in 2015 when Jada and Will Smith were not together.
In the alleged clip, which was shown at the end of the episode, Alsina can be seen saying that love showed up in a new way in front of him. He added that he really wanted to honor and give back the love he receives from that person, who was also teaching him so much about love and healing.
He concluded the words by saying that he wanted to do it in front of the world as it defies all the formerly made-up constructs about love – what love is supposed to be or should look like. What made people wonder and leave them confused was the event that followed.
Just as Alsina finished talking, a man entered the frame and sat next to him. They then hugged each other and that was the end of it.
While there is a claim that argues that the cliffhanger was just another stunt from the producers to increase the rating, the majority of the post online likes to believe that it was Alsina coming out as gay and introducing his boyfriend to the world.
There had been no statements made by Alsina about the incident, nor had there been any official confirmation about the identity of the young man who appeared beside him. He also has not revealed anything about his sexuality till now and has not come out as bisexual or gay till now.
While there has been no official confirmation about the mysterious young man, there are many speculations about his identity on social media platforms. Some people claim that the young man who appeared on screen with Alsina is a guy named Zu.
According to the posts that discuss the event, Au is the ‘little brother’ of Alsina. Even though he is mentioned as his little brother, it is still unclear if he is a biological sibling. The duo also released a song ‘2AM’ together in June 2022. Zu is also seen in a photo shared by Alsina, which was posted to wish his mother, Sheila Blair, a happy birthday.
