August Alsina is not looking to cash in on details of his past "entanglement" with Jada Pinkett Smith.
The 29-year-old musician has found himself back in the headlines after Will Smith's slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars went viral. The R&B singer is known for his past relationship with Pinkett Smith, which she revealed took place in 2015 when she and Smith were on a break.
Reports this week suggested Alsina is planning a tell-all about his relationship with Smith's wife, so he took to Instagram to set the record straight.
"What would be the need to write a book about my supposed ‘sex life’ with ANYBODY, EVER, in life?" Alsina wrote in a text message shared to his Instagram account.

He went on to share there's already been "several fantasies, hypotheticals & fictions" based on his love life.
"if you're looking for that kind of entertainment, go read those! Read the book called ‘HOLY BIBLE’ while you're at it too, for whomever created and believed these lies," his message continues.
Alsina then described what he's focusing on these days amid the online chatter.
"I'm just living my life, trying to create peace, from all the glass and broken pieces of hearts, in the life of my own and ones connected to me," he wrote.
"Lastly, Why would one look to make that ‘type’ of money; eating from the lowest of fruit, when God's promise is GREAT HARVEST? I'm Gods very Own, so HE makes me RICH! & Not just in spirit. Be blessed," he concluded.

"I heard I was canceled," Alsina began. "Well, let’s not speak on that. Red dot on my back, I became a target. And I’m flawed but flawless. That’s what makes me August."
