Right

[@Goldibabyyy]

The fact that he was in a coma and came back after 3 days,just as Jesus died and rose from the dead after 3 days.This man is protected by the blood of God.The fact that he took in his sisters kids as his own,& is still spiritually connected and boisterous about his faith in God while so heavily in an industry that is corrupt,is commendable.I pray for nothing but wellness,and genuine happiness for this man,whether that be within himself and individually or with someone else.

@@jessicagreen3963 I don't know how old you are but comparing a vulnerable 22 year old to a worldly 40 something woman is no contest. August may have grown up in the streets but he was still a man child. He was not raised properly by an adult. Childish people cannot raise children. He clearly had or has mother issues. Jada should have known better.

Who molested him? And his mother is terrible! Stop forgiving child molesters. They don’t deserve it- just go be great I’m your life. You don’t have to forgive those monsters! And what the hell was Jada thinking?!

[@magrethshigwedha]

“You can’t heal what you don’t reveal” 💯

[@jaytyes3972]

I wish all the people who got something terrible to say about this man can just go back and really research him. There has been so much judgement from people based on an admittance of his on truth that has been proven to be true. He had no ill words to say. Just his truth. You can feel his broken but humble spirit. His ability just to keep moving through his trials and tribulations is inspirational. He's a young man that's had to endure what most couldn't survive. To pass out on stage and go into a coma them still days later manage to perform for his fans showed his strength and love for the people who support him. It saddens me to see him get attacked the way he has. That goes back to the purpose of my post to this comment, it is true, you can not heal what you don't reveal, is completely truth. Your comment hit it on the nail. My prayers are with him 🙏. We all have to live, learn and grow up and keeping things bottled up prevents us from moving forward. Seems like that's exactly what he's trying to do.

Enjoy this young man while he is here in our presence.

Shit hit HARD

[@justbeingmesparks6538]

One of my college friends, she and her husband are pretty "well-to-do," and have raised their kids in private schools - she has said the same thing - that she fears for her kids in the real world because their childhoods have been so great! I don't wish a bad childhood on anybody - because I had one, but for people who have very peaceful, tulips and daffodil-type childhoods, there should be a checklist on things to teach them about living in the "real world" so they will be prepared when adversity comes their way.

[@justmeechie5154]

For some maybe... But for the rest of us we learn early how the world really is... The fact that we survive the situations we're faced with proves how resilient humans really are. It's a beautiful thing when you can look behind you and see how struggles create growth.

I had Gillian Barre around 8 years old. I had to learn how to walk again. One day, my body felt weak. It got weaker day after day until I could barely walk. One side of my face looked as if I had a stroke. I was thankful I regained the nerves and was able to look normal again. My immune system since then has never been the same. Its a horrible thing to go through and so rare that many dont even know about it. I have read in the comments of others being survivor's of this. God is good. I pray for everyone. August is a warrior. He inspires so many who have been through the most...to keep fighting and living life to your fullest. Love his energy.

[@marshal11ify]

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Matthew 5:3‭-‬4‭, ‬6‭-‬26 KJV bible.com/bible/1/mat.5.3-26.KJV

I can see what made Jada attracted to him. He has an old soul and seems to be a genuine person with a good heart. I'm a little younger than Jada and I'm attracted to him just because of his personality. Where she went wrong and was wrong was leading him on for years, knowing that he was in love with her she should have never let it go that far if she knew she wasn't leaving her marriage. She obviously made him believe she was. I hope he finds someone that appreciates him.

[@koko87371]

You are spot on with this! Anyone that knows August knows that he’s all about keeping it real. Jada obviously didn’t keep it real with him with the way he was writing songs about her. But at the same time August shouldn’t have fell in so deep with her. Yes she made him believe that she wasn’t going back to Will but Jada was still a married woman and he should’ve taken a couple steps back. I feel like he knew at the back of his mind that she wasn’t leaving him, but he was too much in love to walk away. I’m glad he eventually built the courage to walk away from that one sided relationship. I hope he finds someone that will make him say Jada who?

Look how she built her BUISNESS up without him. If only she could see her worth then maybe she could find a real man.

How do you know that this isn’t one of those cases. She could possibly be holding him down for that reason and if not for that reason everyone is free to do whatever they want with their life so who cares 🤷🏽‍♀️. That’s a decision she made for herself and she could possibly be happy with what she got from that decision. Yes she doesn’t Have to, I agree with that for sure ...but it is also completely her decision.

This documentary is making me so emotional. It’s crazy because you never know what people are going through that’s why it’s always important to be a kind hearted person. God always makes a way🖤🖤

[@nacambriamansfield3991]

The entire documentary really touched my heart and I could not be more proud of you. This episode was definitely my favorite because it wrapped everything together and showed your healing process, not just by disease, but by mentality. Thank you for sharing various parts of your life with us and we appreciate and love you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Something that stuck out was how the mother is suppose to be that safe place, hold you down.. August words..The forgiveness within the one who’s been hurt, sexually abused is the most powerful thing to do. As a now 34yr old woman revealing to my mother what happened to me after she asked to stay with me for a few months....Silent.. I asked if she believed me her response “ I have to think about it.” My daughter is only 2 there’s nothing she won’t be able to share or be scared to talk about with her mommy. I’m now breaking the family chain not having Faith, love, protection, guidance .. Again the level of forgiveness. I respect everyone’s decision but for me personally was developing a relationship with our Creator Jehovah God & his Son Jesus Christ 🙌🏾. We don’t want to have anger towards anyone who’s hurt us. We must show love & be peaceable towards others. *Stay Safe Everyone*

Through it all you’re a walking testimony. You’re one of a kind. God will never put more on you than you can bare. Although the devil is trying very HARD. We got you You are the true definition of what a man is. And I finally see you... I don’t see the artist anymore. I see a MAN!! A man who isn’t afraid to show his vulnerability. A man who had the weight of the world on his shoulders and NEVER complained. A man whose experienced more in pain than love but still manages to have a heart of gold. A man who NEVER makes excuses. I see a MAN. A man who is Beautiful, Articulate, Phenomenal, God fearing, Talented... the list goes on. You are HEAVEN SENT. Better days are coming Auggy. And when they do I just pray all you do is smile and live your life stress free. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

That is exactly, how I feel. He is a MAN. Young men, should look him up and see how a man handles life struggles and difficulties. If us black women had a real MAN like that. Maybe we could be healed too and feel are woth more. Real men, who can see past our breast and hips and thighs. Black men, who want to explore our minds, instead of our bodies. MEN who can show real intimacy. I love his new song Pretty. I feel like it describes, not just black women, but women in general. August, was asking how can us, as women go through so much and still be so beautiful? Scares are beautiful ladies. Stretch marks, and cellulite are beautiful. Real men understand that. But, as black women our ancestors pride and endurance runs in our veins. Know your worth ladies. I feel, in my heart a black women can truly understand a black man and his struggles more, than any other race can. Black love is complex, beautiful, messy, crazy. And you know, I would not want it any other way. Love you August. 💜💜💜

I was a fan before but I'm a die-hard fan now. It's not easy for anyone especially a man to be so candid, honest & vulnerable with one person let alone millions of people. August you a truly an inspiration and your voice is powerful. Most people use their traumas and childhoods as crutches to say what they can't do but you let that fuel you to reach your dreams all while life threw curveballs at you, you always held on to God's unchanging hand & that's hard to do. You're different. Your story is different & for that, some may judge but for the ones who understand your message, we love & support you. Here are your flowers while you're still alive. God, I pray that you continue to bless August, keep his mind, body, & spirit on the right healing path so that he can continue to use his voice to change lives. Give him the strength & knowledge he needs to raise his nieces. Heal the hurt & pain. Keep him encouraged on his best & worse days to keep pushing forward. Keep that smile on his face & let him feel all the love that is around whether that be family, friends, or supporters. Give him peace so his soul can finally rest. The worse is behind you & better days are coming. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. I love you & praying for you Mr. Augsut Alsina.❤️
