Jaden Smith Played A Role In Jada Pinkett-Smith And August Alsina's Entanglement

It’s safe to say that Chris Rock didn’t mince words when speaking on Will and Jada’s marriage and her past relationship with August Alsina. Before diving in head first on Jada Pinkett Smith’s affair, he reminded audiences of her dynamic with Smith. “His wife was f***ing her son’s friend,” said Rock (via Variety). “I normally would not talk about this s***… I have no idea why two talented people would do something that f***ng lowdown,” the comedian continued, referencing their joint “Red Table Talk” appearance.

And while everyone knows that the “friend” in question was Alsina, the son was Jaden Smith (not Trey). Yes, that’s right. August Alsina will always and forever be known as Jada’s former romantic partner, but he started as Jaden’s acquaintance. According to JoJo Crews, Jaden and Alsina first bonded in 2015 while shooting a TV pilot called “Brothers in Atlanta.” Shortly after, they struck up a friendship that eventually took them to that year’s Wireless Festival. It’s there, according to Hola, that Jada first crossed paths with August. And while it’s unknown exactly when Jada and Alsina’s relationship went from platonic to romantic, anonymous sources who spoke to Page Six said the two looked quite “cozy” during the festival.
