"5 years ago I never knew that I would be here". The way he expresses his self. It's like he has such an appreciation for life.

[@miniyasharif9089]

He is so real no other artists is real like him. If they are they don't seem to show it cuz I don't notice it. That's why I love August Alsina. Continue to keep it real bae.

[@AchillesOf300]

You said real artist? You right he is one Just like my boi Lil Snupe

[@riannamangal4855]

[@tykiahunter7340]

Mimi Vibez Did august alsina kill his brother because someone told me that :SORRY FOR ASKING YOU JUST WANT TO KNOW

[@simp1ymakay1a1ynn]

@@tykiahunter7340 no he did not...he was sleeping the day his brother got killed. When he woke up he got the call from his cousin that his brother was killed. Whoever told you that was trying to be very misleading.

[@Aaliceya]

the kids sound so adorable . and its a good thing he's taking care of them while his brothers in heavan floating with god and his angels

[@NickstAr90]

He sounds like the coolest dude.

[@Divadia_]

Just the way he says brother "brutha" that accent 😍😍

[@who8829]

Watched this again. Amazing to see how far he's came. He WILL go further mark my words. Such a humble young man.

[@luvinaugustalsina3587]

Uncle/father figure at ah young age. He would be such ah great father to his very own. I love that in you Aug. #1 fan baby

[@dejaluvv7102]

I Love His Story Soooo Bad Cause Most Folk Would Use They Story As An Excuse For Everything But For August He Do His Music And Continue What He Gotta Do And When He Break Down He don't Use His Story To Excuse Him. If He Was To Get Arrested , He Wouldn't Use It . Only Time I Seen Him Break Down Was When A Fan Took His Brother Hat But Other Than That He Don't Make People Feel Bad For Him . If I Didn't See This I Wouldn't Have Even knew He Went Through So Much . He Still Smiling Too . Mad Respect To You August ✊ Love You So Much .

[@msladyjohnson2881]

Not only is August sexy but he has a story behind his music and that's what leads people to him.. His music has helped me go through times when it was needed and his music is more so a run to now when the struggle gets real this young man has been through the homeless stage and losing his brother so I can't even image how bad his pain was but I lost some one close to me so I can relate to that part... but I honestly can say I truly Love him and his music thank god his a blessing sent.... #1 Fan Ilu August

Angie what do you mean homeless? Homeless as in he didn't have a place to live and he slept in a store. Are you serious, look up what homeless means!

[@wendy7239]

/

[@BlvckPapa]

That is homeless smh. Homeless means not having a home and im pretty sure the corner store wasn't his home.

[@mauricesmith489]

A corner store is not a place to stay..he was still homeless cuz he didnt have a home to go to so..

[@jbritney6610]

[@jessicascott7108]

He soo cute little thing

[@TheCharityMitchell]

August Alsina❤️

[@Nel2times]

Absolutely love him, especially his suit and tie cover/remix..

[@jaDOREbella23]

He's very sweet & humble, all of you saying he needs to talk professional that's all he knows you can't just automatically change the way you've been talking after 21 years. If that's what he grew up around that's what he's use to. Don't let the way he talk distract you from seeing how talented and a good person he is. Some of the most proper speaking people are sneaky and evil etc.

[@misslilthang9]

He's important to this game lets go augie!!!!!!

[@sogansta10]
