*Troubled R&B singer August Alsina is making news again and it’s not because of his “entanglement” with the Smiths two years ago. Nope, dude is sending strong signals that he’s come out of the closet, as they say.
If you were watching the Nov. 21 episode of VH1’s reboot of “The Surreal Life,” you would’ve seen Alsina, 30, reveal some seriously personal information.
“My life has kind of changed drastically and this show has kind of been a catalyst to that because of the fact that I had so much fear going into this journey. So much fear that I mean, I can feel my hand shaking right now, because of being put outside of my comfort zone,” he explained.
The singer added that he was thankful to be part of the show and said the experience “taught me love in so many different forms and facets.”

“And then, what do you know, love showed up, but in a new way. I want to share that and really honor the person that I love and that loves me back and teaching me so much about love and healing. I want to do that in front of the world because it defies all the constructs that one would say love is supposed to be or love should look like,” he said according to UrbanHollywood411.
At that point, Zu, the person believed to be his boyfriend then walked out to join him.
“I love you, ” said August, as the two embraced each other. The show told viewers, “August is happily shedding his old skin, in order to begin again.”
While the singer did not confirm the two are in a relationship, many viewers interpreted the scene as Alsina announcing he’s a member of the LGBTQ community.
