August Alsina Talks Battling Severe Illnesses That Killed His Father & Grandfather

“The reality is that I’m sick all the time” – August Alsina

In a clip from an upcoming interview with Jada Pinkett-Smith, August opens up about his autoimmune liver disease, fighting depression, and growing up with a drug addicted stepfather who would sell August’s school clothes to buy drugs.

I’ve been living my life in so much dis-ease that I’ve literally created it within myself… God has invested something inside of me, But I am not afraid of this Agony because I know that God pulls us back to shoot us FORWARD. ? & To my lovely and loyal fans.. Please take care of yourself and your bodies & your SOULS. A beautiful face will fade, a beautiful body will too fade, but a beautiful soul is that FOREVER. I have so much to share, until I do.. Please say a prayer ?? -AA
