In a new interview with Vulture, August Alsina says he doesn’t regret his entanglement with Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. He sees the experience of being given a love like that as “a gift,” he says, even if it was “complex or hard” and landed both him and the Smiths in a public debacle none of us should have been privy to in the first place.

That’s just people. But with that in particular, I don’t even have the energy to devote to that conversation at all.
