August Alsina, the singer who notoriously had a “entanglement” connection with Jada Pinkett Smith, has stated that he has not seen Chris Rock’s latest live Netflix comedy special.
Reports emerged this week claiming Alsina watched and found Rock’s stand-up special “funny,” but the singer’s representative has now denied the report, telling ET, “This is a lie.”
“Mr. Alsina has not seen Chris Rock’s special at all, as he’s been busy on tour,” the rep continued.
Chris Rock’s Selective Outrage live Netflix performance was the first time the comedy star addressed the notorious Will Smith slap at the Oscars last year. On Saturday, March 4, the 58-year-old comic performed his stand-up special in Baltimore, where he addressed the incident with Smith.
During the broadcast, Rock also addressed Pinkett Smith’s and Alsina’s connection.
“Everybody knows that had nothing to do with me. I didn’t have any entanglements,” he said, referring to the cheating rumors that bubbled up for the couple in June 2020. “His wife was f***ing her son’s friend.”
He continued, “Now, I normally would not talk about this shit, But for some reason, these n****s put that shit on the internet. I have no idea why two people that talented would do something that low-down.”
“We’ve all been cheated on, none of us have ever been interviewed by the person who cheated on us,” he added. “Why the f**k would you do that shit? She hurt him way more than I did… Everybody called him a bitch, and who’s he hit? Me!”
According to a source, Jada Pinkett Smith has her own thoughts on the Netflix special, and she is not involved in the ongoing spat between her husband and the comedian. According to the insider, the comedian is “obsessed” with her.
“Jada has had no part in all of this other than being heckled,” the source told PEOPLE. “Chris is obsessed with her and that’s been going on for almost 30 years.”
The source continued: “Look where he chose to film his Netflix special. Her hometown [of Baltimore]. Obsessed.”
