August Alsina and his partner Zu found themselves trending over the weekend after social media users began dissecting the timeline of their relationship. The speculation flared after the couple hosted a gay pride event at Opium in Atlanta, with some critics on X accusing August of dating Zu before he was of legal age.
One viral post claimed: “August Alsina a weirdo. August and Zu been together for 5 years and Zu is 22 years old and graduated in 2022.”
Zu quickly shut down the chatter with a lengthy statement:
“Hope this clears up any confusion… I met August when I was already of age, an adult. Aug didn’t even know me when I was 16 or 17… We will have known each other for 5 years toward the end of the year, so he’s speaking in future terms… August is my boyfriend, and we’re happy with each other, simple.”
“What y’all don’t know is, I run this relationship. I call the shots, August just shows up and supports me in whatever I want to do. He supports my dream, he IS a dream! Nothing is ever forced on either end.”
August backed up his partner, co-signing the message with a playful response — making it clear the couple isn’t fazed by outside noise.
