Musician August Alsina, known for his album MySelf and mixtape The Product as well as collaborations with Lil Wayne and Chris Brown, has denied claims that he’s gay after a now-viral TikTok.
His friend Zu posted a video on the platform recently. In the TikTok, Zu is seen in a car next to Alsina, saying “I’m going to climb this (ninja emoji) as soon as we get in the crib.”
This isn’t the only source for the rumors, however. Asina starred on the reality TV show The Surreal Life in 2021, with Zu featuring in one episode. Alsina shared that he wanted to honor their love, which he describes as “defying all the constructs.”

“Showed love to the gay community, no rapper’s doing that.”
On X, however, Alsina said, “Aht! Don’t do detttt.. Erybody else [already] be trollin’… so let that man troll in peace! For 2025, what everyone needs to know is, if somebody is gonna support you, they’re gonna support you.”
He continued, “If they’re not, they’re not. No ideation or perceived condition is going to either alter somebody’s investment or lack thereof. In other words, people who enjoy low-hanging fruit, just enjoy low-hanging fruit, and for that, there’s trolling.” The rapper has also been linked romantically to Jada Pinkett Smith, prompting the famous July 2020 Red Table Talk session in which Pinkett Smith admitted that she and her husband pursued other romantic partners during a separation in their relationship.
