[@narcisaolveraburgos7613]

Ppp

[@SupremeJ]

All y'all hating on August sad. His brother died 5 years ago he knocked out on stage and went to a comma and had to get eye surgery and y'all making fun of him for being depressed? Even if album leaks happen all the time imagine how sensitive he is right now! Leave my boy alone.

[@sh-rt5dq]

Exactly

[@pworm195]

That right

[@diijaithesinger]

A lot of people criticize August for his attitude, antics, etc., but I love the fact that he is a REAL person, flaws & all. We need more of that.

[@Empressive]

His braid out is bomb. I wonder what products he uses. Shea Moisture...Miss Jessie's? Hmm

[@lisauhqt]

Right lol

[@FruityHappiness9]

+Empressive Probably some expensive shit we dont even know the name of.

[@kocoahollis9771]

Right. My ish is never that bouncy or uniformed 😂

[@frankwave776]

+Empressive I think he just washes it and lets air dry. my hair was like that

[@aysha4302]

[@lilmekatxgyrl]

Favorite album til this day!!!💪🏾🤴🏾❤️🔥

[@eastbaywyadh]

He always makes me cry when he talks about his mom and family because I relate 1,000 percent. I love him for speaking on it. When your own parents ain't shit remaining a humble good hearted person is truly a talent.

[@tripleatribe]

Everybody complaining about him stressing about his album getting leaked he worked hard for it and was put in the hospital working on it leave him alone!

[@anna-mariadavis5914]

He sounds so tired and worn down I hope God bless his spirit with a sense of relief bless his heart❤️💕

[@jayyjayy5215]

Overall he's telling us that when life throws you down, you gotta keep ya head up and smile. This is by far the most intelligent interview he's ever done. #AlsinaNation ❤️

[@HoneyLove40]

Jayy Jayy Yes ❤❤❤

[@lateshashampree]

maybe yall think he's sad because he's telling you what's really going on in his life every other artist that come on here may seem happy because their probably covering up the real everybody goes through something don't let them fool you realness and the truth always make ppl uncomfortable

[@aysha4302]

Exactly!

[@lateshashampree]

Ay Sha they don't here me tho lol

[@bismillahrabbani9006]

+Latesha Shampree ~ I know, like Rick Ross, Diddy, and DJ Khaled. You will never know what's real with any of them.

[@1916shine]

[@mackenleyderisma2521]

+Ricardo Williams album came out today

[@demikpre]

+Ricardo Williams his album dead ass, hes back on because the albums out and the label leaked his album the day before its release on youtube.

[@demikpre]

Sid Joyner truuuuuu

[@AustinRedmonOfficial]

I get where August coming from, but trust and believe. The true FANS will go out and support it!

[@thelifeofnaaij909]

100% I don't even own a CD player and I went and bought a couple copies 😂 I got it on iTunes also just to support the albums super good and people just need to stop sleeping on it

[@iamtatianal1299]

💯 I don't even buy albums but best believe I went out and bought TTCL. I support him 100%.

[@SiSiTheLyricist]

😂 hilarious. He had to double check that they said friends. He said, "So we're friends?" Lol love that guy.

[@AmillionRays]

August life ain't easy! This dude needs a hug😄

[@Sherriskyee]

How u gone come on here talking bout you don't like August 😂😂 you watched his whole interview tho. Hunty 😴

[@thelifeofnaaij909]

Exactly 😂 that's why I'm not understanding these comments like forreal

[@koko87371]

Facts

[@pamelaowens3826]

Dat Prt!! Get Out Of here!!

[@queen4eva93]

He needs to just take a break and get some godly love. He comes off to me so sad inside

[@everettfanor1989]

+Mia Sanders He is a very depressed human. I would never hang out with him cus the negativity is always coming from him

[@musanjor]

+Gallardo 5Million dude just stfu man this the second time i see u hatin on his depression thats petty

[@lilethio11]

I don't think this music business is for him mentally even though he is super talented

[@celebrityspotlight3297]

+Mia Sanders MIA Co-sign. Godly love. The enemy is def after him because he's in an influential position where MILLIONS can be effected. He has no idea how many PEOPLE who don't even know him are PRAYING FOR HIM and interceding to God on his behalf.

[@warofmankind]

what would you do if you SOLD your soul.... his family know and want nothing to do with him.... who cares if he depressed his fault

[@tbd]

This is another real great interview thanks to Charlemagne cheering August up w/ his dirty jokes.

[@theonewhostandsaboveall6826]

this low key prove money don't equal happiness... Ima pray for August tonight he need some blessings

[@nisham27]

Wow y'all up here clowning because this man is going through something and actually talking about it. This is what you call keeping it real but most can't handle it because they ain't real themselves. Let me apologize for him because he ain't making you laugh he ain't shucking and jiving putting on a show. And because he not playing the game he gets disrespected. Don't y'all clowns know that they sit in a board room and discuss the fans reaction to this shit before they do it?!! The verdict was "leak his shit! They gonna just look at August like he crying again." Smh wake up!!!

[@fattkidd7944]

+nisham27 cool story bro

[@moginger7170]

Somebody said it

[@lashontamcphaul284]

nisham27 I love this comment!! well fuckin said!!!!!!

[@angelinacole1547]

nisham27 Preach ❤️💯

[@MileyCarterr]

He's so cute! I think what really made him mad about them putting it on KZbin is that he might be thinking he wasn't going to get paid as much as if they didn't pre release it

[@biancamoore32]

+Ron Davis lol be nice

[@holytample1091]

one of the realest nigga in the game family sometimes be the biggest haters. depression real many of people go though it

[@thelifeofnaaij909]

I agree , your one of the few people I've seen so far who hasn't had any negative shit to say . Depression is very real and some of the stuff people are saying is just horrible

[@holytample1091]

people are quick to talk down on other people and its sad.

[@nadiapepperpot7474]

African people tear each other down more that others n they wonder y people don't respect us.

[@blacktulip4386]

+Nadia pepperPot yes

[@CarolineJones1994]

I feel def jam leaked that album on purpose....

[@sashal7812]

whoever released that whole album on you tube...should get fired!!! LIKE REALLY??? How messed up!

[@thelifeofnaaij909]

Exactly they did some shit like this to Jeremih a couple days ago except he had an official album release date I think and def jam fucked him over and didn't release shit .

[@thelifeofnaaij909]

I think I'm saying it right I saw it on theshaderoominc Jeremih tweeted about it

[@emmitthill7871]

so y'all seriously saying y'all wouldn't be frustrated after putting all that work into an album not a mix tape but an album and it gets leaked

[@Coolwick45]

He has definitely seen some things in the industry. He's tired of the rituals already

[@leneikasummers2811]

Not funny

[@everettfanor1989]

+itsLeoJ He wont last in the industry. Hes too weak and depressed

[@Coolwick45]

sassy maneater I didn't make a joke

[@Coolwick45]

Gallardo 5Million Weak in terms of what aspects? All the things he has seen in the industry is probably overwhelming him. I know he probably wants to get out but that rich lifestyle is too good to leave

[@Shuvraa]

+itsLeoJ u gotta be fake af to thrive in the music industry, when u calling out ppl for being fake and ur only august alsina status... u arent gonna go far

[@lifewithmike6859]

What this nigga got to talk about? He been there 12 times in the last 6 months

[@CASSOBLVCK]

+Gerald Jordan oh ok

[@frankwave776]

Crazy year

[@TheRealVLC1]

August needs his own chair for how many times he's been on the show.💺

[@dianaraines9716]

How does he keep his skin so flawless?!

[@MsKayStarr]

August is so real and I love it! It really makes you realize how other artist are really out here probably covering up how they really feel......love you August!

[@KiWest777]

Damn I just love all of his breakfast club interviews lol. Especially when they all start to joke and clown around. August is by far my favorite person for them to interview, it never gets old to me

[@NoLimitShonB]

"They might have to make up for this album leak.." 😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂

They need to have Bryson tiller up there

[@spiritual_babe_]

+Ameer Marbury yeah him to they both need to come up there

[@saundraashley4940]

To the negative comments: this guy has been through more than we know. We have to just pray for people. Making snobby comments won’t help a persons situation. God will cause you to go through the same so you will learn to have some compassion. His strengths may be your very weakness. You never know. Love. Be kind. Be merciful. Have compassion. PRAY ALWAYS! Only God can bring him out his situation #Godalwayswins

[@Praisingthecreator]

Well I can empathize with how he's feeling, I mean if you're going thru a very hard time in life but have no friends, family, or anyone to talk to, who's going to understand you then it's gonna eat you up, so I see why he feels depressed at times..loneliness will definitely do it

[@Illestbuddha]

Me too. You got Instagram or nah?

[@jpat989]

He does not even have his mama's love and care. If your own mama don't love you...... You can be desperately lonely surrounded by people.

[@andrecotton4868]

@@Illestbuddha one thing life teaches you is that people (family, friends, and strangers) ain't shit, (some people are excluded from this statement) and people won't treat you the way you treat them ( some people are excluded from this statement)

[@SuperFaith4ever]

I am so late catching up with this young man. Great grandma feel his real talk. I am seeing this and looking at him for 2019. Very real soldier

[@jpat989]

Me too. I discovered him several weeks ago by accident. I am too old for this crap music industry. His story and spirit resonates with me as a grown woman. I should not be interested in what a kid has to say. But his interviews are excellent. He talks like a 40 year old man. There are 40 year old men who have the mentality of a 23 year old.

[@tiaraw872]

A lot of ppl are deeply sad inside but cover it up with a smile. The fact that he not doing that & letting it all out is a big problem for some of you. He's human. Doesn't mean he's on the verge of killing hisself. We have bad & good days

[@vinnymfmac1882]

how does one "accidentally " upload a album and leak it?

[@BlazeBoltSniper]

+Vincent Johnson TBC age was showing on that one. August didnt want to say it was intentional but as interviewers someone should have said you cant accidentally make a video and upload it. Especially a whole album.

[@bismillahrabbani9006]

+Vincent Johnson ~ Right, I think it was a punishment of some kind.

[@nisham27]

+Kris Fendi exactly he did somethings or didn't do something so they making him pay for it. Unfortunately they playing with his lively hood. The industry is the devil.

[@koko87371]

That's what I want to know

[@jpat989]

It was intentional. They wanted to put him in his place.

[@andreanabrinson6425]

Aww my poor hunny he can't win for losing. Don't worry august you have your real fans like me that went out and brought your album bump it being leaked I know you mad but don't worry hun it will be okay I not only bought one I have two you super talented and worth every penny. Also when it comes to what's going in your personal like don't worry boo just put in gods hands and let him it work it out cause god can do anything and I'm a witness to that he's so awesome. It will get better boo just keep your head up and keep prayering the devil is always busy but don't get discouraged boo cause god got you every step of the way.

who is his dermatologist? his skin is super clean

[@ItsDajamonique]

August Alsina!!!! I love, love, love him 😊😊

[@trillambroise]

I don't see August remaining in this music industry for 5 more years shit making him lose his mind

[@kikigam7113]

Crazy how you said that cus hes retiring from music and more worried about his skincare line he not built for the industry fr

[@davidtrujeque976]

August don't let the industry change you. Stay outspoken and strong big dog. May Yeshua guide you

[@Pikathunderboltt]

Damn why are there so many negative comments? August is real and i respect him for that, and you cannot deny that he has a great voice. Plus his music is very relatable. So what if he's emotional? He's a fucking R&B singer, that's what he's supposed to be. The music industry is fucking up everybody too, even Chris Brown looks sad af in his latest interview

[@TheStreetHippie]

The Breakfast Club is low-key August's therapy

[@jpat989]

They like him.

[@moremaddness]

True Fan!!! 3rd Project That I've Purchased From August!!! Haven't been disappointed with his work yet! Keep Hustling and Doing Your Thing!! #AugustAlsina #ThisThingCalledLife

[@smileforme8879]

for the fools who don't tune in, this is their platform! Every celebrity has dialogue when an album comes out. obviously Aug is comfortable talking on personal issues So what? he 's just transparent, others may keep shit bottled up? Your fans will still support you, and for those who can't relate turn the damn channel or move on 💜your music!

[@imlissa]

Dont let other peoples spirits weigh your spirit light and personality down August ❤..u r great

[@Michelle_Michelle___]

August is in his early 20's. This is a very hard, confusing, lonely stage for most 20 year old's. People say August is crazy, he's this and that. But tbh, August just expresses himself, and he does it through his music. I'm not really a big fan of too much of his music, but being 21 years old, I know how he feels about a lot of things he speaks of.

[@gooodies4u1]

I love watching this over and over. I love how it starts low and turns joyful. Four persons that really seem in tune and genuine with each other. Like looking out for our lil brother/ lill tease when come to Angela

[@cdubb203]

I wanna watch some old interviews of his, since 106 lol he always seemed angry or sad but prayers up for him i can see he going through a tough time 💙

[@sumayamaya7039]

Damn if you people hate him why watch and complain about what he talks about or does😕😒😲😠

[@ellac.3483]

The ending lmaooo 😭😭😭

[@latikasheray3732]

☠️❤️

[@kat64470]

I love the camera person, keeping our eye on the guest! The last ten minutes was hilarious and fun. I’m mad that I only recently was introduced to this enigma called August. I can’t get enough

[@meka685]

To be honest with you, I understand why August feels the way he does because I woke up on 12/11/15 with a strange feeling like something bad was going to happen I was excited about getting his album from the store because I'm a real fan, and then I get to work and I lose my job but my soul was o.k. with it, because I'm excited for what the future holds for me. I prayed about the situation and I'm good. So I was happy and sad at the same time. Happy because I brought August album and its the best, and sad because of my job situation. But I'm grateful to GOD for all of his blessings.

[@fattkidd7944]

+meka685 You could have saved money by getting the leak. August not getting paid from those album sales anyway.

[@BenjaminClaude]

God won’t do you dirty but man will. I see what he means about not trusting people and shady haters. I definitely felt where he was coming from in this interview. August Alsina has his own style and voice flow and it’s great! Praying for his better days.

[@theNikkiDash]

he seems completely drained. sad.

[@dollgoodz3579]

AT LEAST HE'S BEING HONEST ABOUT HIS FEELINGS AND NOT PLAYING HAPPY!

[@ashleygoodwin8934]

Seems like August has a lot of personal issues going on in his life, and you can tell by his tone. He seems very angry & irritated. I love the fact that he's not afraid to express his self and be truthful about his life, a lot of artist tend to perpetrate but you can see this dude is very real. Mad respect for this dude

[@kisha100001]

Don't matter Bae I'm a ride or die fan.. I'll still cop the album 🇬🇧 Real fans down download free shit

[@dreamchaser2633]

August has a story that many can relate to. I can relate to several things discussed in this interview. Now, I know I am not alone in the way I feel about life and the things I have been through. I wish more people would share their story.

[@grada.22]

[@HoneyLove40]

[@nyreemurray6800]

and he can be on here as many times as he wants yall can't make him stop coming on here tf except the fact that he's on here

[@chelle9027]

I just don't understand some of these comments. If you don't like him why do you sit through a while 32 minute video about him? Just to say what you don't like about him. Everybody has problems, some more than others. You never know what's going on in his life for him to feel the way he does. Instead of bashing him about it, how about you try to uplift him.

[@bhorne7928]
