Honestly I can see his pain.. August really does not get the love he deserves! He is one of the realest talking about emotions. I love him as an artist ❤

[@shakaylawalker8653]

Miyashita i was about to cry cause u can tell he is hurt/pain.I love him he is so real

[@NayaG96]

[@GoogleAccount00]

NickiHendrix never!

[@deavionneburnett2977]

She's a good ass interviewer. I'd feel hella comfortable talkin 2 her.

[@YungEmperor305]

Beautiful Flaws she switched up on Cuban link

[@meganmichelle3170]

i still watch his old ass interviews like they're new😩😍😭 i luh him!

[@PRINCESSMIA1972]

He's got on those glasses to hid the pain......I can ID and um not famous....I remember days that I would sit on the phone and cry and beg my mom for her love and attention. And she didn't want me.......he's say these issues aren't effecting him. But he's an empath. I promise you. They are effecting him.....his music saves him....if it wasn't. For that he may not be with us in body........I love you Bruh....they say Jesus died for all of us. Truth is he didn't know us but he loved us that much....it is possible to love people you don't know.....so I'm saying to all reading this that I love you and wish you all the blessings and light your heart and hands can hold ❤️🌹❤️

[@sassynj1264]

A Melendez luv you too sis😍🙆

@@deedeemoore6096 His family was quick to wanna so call bash him but where were they when he were sleeping in the back of the store.. family ain't shit..I live paycheck to paycheck and as soon as I say I can't help somebody there go the b.s ...

[@deedeemoore6096]

@@lailonnietukes4456 exactly that is so true those people think he owes them something when clearly he don't owe them shit they need to take their asses on some place and make their own money and they went below the belt saying he had his brother killed was some real low and trifling dirty shit

[@deedeemoore6096]

@@lailonnietukes4456 that is a shame they can take their behinds out there and make their own money and stop asking you for money you have your own bills and situations to take care of and they shouldn't get mad at you when you say you can't offer any financial assistants

[@xTorrieXxMarieX]

King Tae shut your dumbass up

[@extraordinary_mel8153]

"what are you talking about ATTENTION? I already got yo attention. don't fucking flatter yourself!" GONE AUG! but no, like i hate when fans are like, "aye, why aren't there more information about your life? why you don't interact with us? )not saying it happens often but still) and then you GET an exceptional artist like Aug, and u judge him cause he letting you into his life? into his pain? being open with the things he goes through! he wouldn't do that if he wasn't comfortable sharing his struggle cause remember "nobody knows what he go through! y'all really fucking with y'all could put y'all self inside his shoes!!'.. but then hate when he's open. chill that shit out or get the hell out his fucking way!! haters have no relevance... support him or be like the ones he left in new Orleans who thought he was turning fake cause he was getting banz... he may get payed.. but he ain't keeping it to hisself. DON'T HTE THIS PLAYA HATE HIS GAME!

[@facetheblacknationchannel]

What?

He speaking the truth. I agree everything he said it makes since.

[@CarlieTheDon]

" I mean have you seen me lately? Do I look like I'm pressed to grab a titty?" I laughed so hard. And Trey Songz and Chris and Usher do it all the time. Nobody says anything.

24:13 He sound like Nick Cannon.

[@gooodies4u1]

I love it!!! I get it!!! I was my mom's weird child too. Pointed out that difference. Hurts often, but I am how God made me and too ultra sensitive to my surroundings. I live life different. Fam will hurt you the worst but I can only be my authentic self as I don't know how to do it any different. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve but all OVER!!

[@Pyt.ree_]

why would he get his brother killed that's just dumb

[@bvbyb0y518]

Robbyn Shane he didn't you dumb fuckk

[@Pyt.ree_]

bvby b0y no dip if you every listened why would some one think he would kill his own blood dumb ass

[@PRINCESSMIA1972]

Robbyn Shane ....... because they are envious and maybe he didn't loan or give her money when he got paid so she went for him like that.... family can say some wicked shyt when they dont get what they ask for.....trust me I been through it with my mom and dad after they passed and people thought they were entitled to there money and belongings...mind you I'm an only child.... blank stare. These were cousins that said some foul shyt to me after my parents died completely baseless. Out of anger cause they didnt get money.... both my parents had Wills.... wrap your head round that. Their things were legally mine.... all hell broke lose....smh

damn boe

[@WilliamGriffinCellsToCells]

This poor young man has been molested by the industry. All families have issues to some degree and some families are worse (or better) than others. It's sad to see how these young men and women are abused....this is deeper than family. They have sold out to the industry for money and they have to pay the price. He knows what caused the upset....and he can't run from the pain of it all. I honestly pray that they stop airing their issues and come together and work things out, even if they have to agree to disagree. They need to respect each other and their differences. I have fam in the industry.....he's not telling the darker side of what he's going through and he can't.....unless he wants to lose his fame and fortune. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world.....and lose his soul???? It's never worth it. ✌

[@PRINCESSMIA1972]

William Griffin ..... oh .... i see... excuse me.... I definitely understand what your about....😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂..... my bad for wasting time wit cha.... 😎

[@lolaispure4296]

I feel what you're saying though.people think you he hating but you're not.just observing the facts. I feel extremely sorry for what he has to go through to get where he is today because he strikes me as a good person deep inside. I really like him he reminds me of a friend of mine.

[@TheDeedeeUGLY]

This is a year old but Imma still reply anyway. His family was in shambles way before the fame. What you're insinuating is not only ignorant beyond words but also false. Get a clue. Don't speak outta your ass and start unlearning all this unsourced misinformation people are feeding you. You're too grown for this. People can't go thru hard times without y'all making it about soul selling and all this clownery. Again, please get a clue. Or I hope you have since then.
