August Alsina is publicly calling out recent shenanigans over his relationship with Zu, hitting the stop button on all the chatter that’s been orbiting in the social media chattersphere. The R&B star, 32, has vehemently denied allegations that he groomed his 22-year-old partner, and they have both confirmed that they are in a relationship. The rumors came about as fans insisted Alsina had started dating Zu when he was a minor, under 18. Discussion had also been ignited on social networks, with both parties being forced to make public statements.
Zu, previously reclusive, posted a lengthy statement to Facebook Hole that week, outlining the night in response to the allegations. In a statement, Zu emphasized that he’s a fully grown adult capable of making his own decisions, writing, “I’m a grown ass man, with his own mind and free will. I met August when I was already of age, an adult. Aug didn’t even know me when I was 16 or 17…not sure where that came from.” He copped to being older but suggested that it is being unfairly picked apart, writing, “Yea there’s a slight age difference but y’all pick and chooses who to judge when it comes to that.”

The romance is not new, either the pair have been involved for years, and, according to Zu, have built a future together, revealing, “We will have known each other for 5 years toward the end of the year, so he’s speaking in future terms because that’s where we plan to make it.” This public statement puts an end to the rumors once and for all. Alsina’s rejoinder, along with Zu’s detailed account, is the couple’s latest point of no return. Fans can currently witness the peer-relationship and respect that the two are maintaining, which has gone on to confirm their relationship and refute allegations against them that turned out to be false. The two appear to be determined to rise above the scandal and concentrate on their own bond.
Alsina’s had his love life talked about for years on the internet, but that validation with his audience also serves to validate the now-confirmed couple. As the news goes viral, it serves as a reminder to take all claims with a grain of salt before jumping to conclusions, especially in an age of misinformation that has a very high potential to spread like wildfire on social media. By having both August Alsina and Zu speak up, the relationship of Will and Jada can now be seen as legitimate, and the grooming accusations no longer stand. Fans can look forward to the couple continuing on together without the cloud of unfounded gossip overhead.
