August Alsina defended himself against critics of his new track, where he sings about being “tangled up with the world’s favorite.”

August Alsina has dropped a new single once again, sharing his thoughts on his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith, following his 2020 track “Entanglements,” which discussed their romantic affair.  

While the New Orleans shared on Instagram that he was “choosing peace” after the slap that shook the world, he has now decided to “Shake the World,” himself on his new track released on Tuesday (Apr. 5). Listen to it below. 

“Well of course some s### was bound to go down when you’re tangled up with the world’s favorite,” August sings on the track. Elsewhere in the song, he addresses the situation again. “I heard I was canceled,” he croons. “Well, let’s speak on that/Red dot on my back, I became a target/And I’m flawed but flawless, that’s what makes me August.” 

Announcing the song on Instagram, August Alsina wrote: “You know why I’m here ‼️[click the link in bio for NEW MUSIC] I’m On my way to take the trash where it belongs!!.. but I wanted to remind you that the world gone get SHOOK, regardless! 🗣 I’m GOD’s own. 🌎💥 … moving on 😏”
