The R&B artist August Alsina is sharing more details about his relationships.
He recently joined Nick Cannon on the Counsel Culture show to discuss his views on romance and the connections he forms with potential partners.
He shared that he doesn’t confine himself to traditional gender or sexuality labels.
Instead, he views love as a universal language in which he is “fluent,” regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
According to HNHH he said:
“To be honest with you, bro, it’s not even me that’s opening my heart,” August Alsina said of his “love for another man.” “It’s that power that’s higher than myself. I always say that the greatest gift that God could have ever given me was exposure. To expose me to so many different kinds of people, places, things. So it’s like, when people want you to define yourself as whether you’re gay, straight, bisexual, or whatever it is you was just talking about, love is much more complex than that and has much more depth. So for me, I’m just the kind of person that, because love is a language, I’m fluent in love when it speaks to me.”
“Why do us as humans have to have such direct answers or definitions of, like, ‘Are you straight?'” Nick Cannon remarked after August Alsina’s thoughts. “‘Are you this? Do you love her? Why do you got so many baby mamas?’ *laughs* No, but I’m just saying, because everybody says, ‘You can’t love that woman if you are not ina traditional one-on-one relationship with her.’ And therefore, now, I don’t love the mothers of my children because I don’t define it the way that you define it.”
“You can’t take it personal because we haven’t all been exposed to the same things,” August Alsina added. “People have a very monolithic way of viewing things.” No matter where you fall on this debate, it’s very clear that these conversations of love are not only important, but as these individuals posit, they are wide-ranging.

He confirmed it on The Surreal Life two years ago— that “love showed up in a different way for him” and brought out Zu.

I hate that you let celebrities get away with this like it’s big 2024 if August Alsina is into guys he should just say so. It doesn’t mean that he’s gay neither does it mean he’s bi, it could be complex like pansexuality does exist.. but for him to just talk in circles is jarring https://t.co/LaNnURojrQ pic.twitter.com/ZnTirCnpgF

All this talk about people wanting August Alsina to be “more direct” and “just say he’s gay” but….
….hear me out….
….maybe he’s not gay.
He is loving a man in this season.
And he’s being very forward about walking in the love he is experiencing.
Sexuality isnt binary.

Man..All you can do is, YOU! If doing/being you and all of who God created you to be can create an extreme amount of discord amongst others.. that just simply means that they aren’t fully engulfed into the lives of their own. This is triggering for those who live small minded,… pic.twitter.com/J4sKGNTRMi
