Jada Pinkett Smith confirmed she was once romantically involved with singer August Alsina during Friday’s episode of her Facebook Watch show “Red Table Talk.”

The actress said the relationship happened roughly four and a half years ago while she was separated from husband Will Smith, who joined her for the show.

The sit-down on the show came after Alsina opened up about the relationship last week, prompting rumors and discussion on social media.It set a new record as Facebook’s most-watched original episode in the first 24 hours, Variety reported, with more than 12 million views as of Saturday afternoon.

“It all started with him just needing some help. Me wanting to help his health, his mental state,” she explained.

Will Smith, 51, said when Alsina — whom they both referred to by the nickname “Aug” — first came around he was really sick.

Rapper K.O has announced he intends to go ahead with a lawsuit against the Gauteng government after it allegedly repurposed an animated video clip that featured characters he believes resembles him and his former Cashtime crew without their consent.

The clip was used in a campaign to raise awareness around the Covid-19 pandemic.

K.O declared his intentions to take legal action against the provincial government on Monday after he saw the video clip shared by its official Twitter account, and said he felt “violated” by it.

He later took to Twitter to confirm the matter would be dealt with by his legal team.

“Thanks everyone for sharing your input and support regarding the repurposed clip that’s making the rounds on socials. Matter is now in the capable hands of our legal team. Much love.”

The original video done by Phaatoons in 2015 was meant to promote an event and painted the entertainers as kings of “nice time”. The video posted by the provincial government’s Twitter account was allegedly edited to convey a different message.K.O was not amused in the least, and took to Twitter to say as much.

“What is this? Deliberately using a suggestive caricature of myself (and my former Cashtime associates) in this fashion as the face of Covid. No consent?! A whole GP government! How low and unscrupulous! I feel violated and extremely disrespected. Seeking legal advice,” K.O said.

TshisaLIVE reached out to Gauteng spokesperson Pinkie Numa, who referred the matter to the Gauteng premier’s spokesperson, Vuyo Mhaga.

Vuyo provided a statement from the service provider, Yellow Room, who said the video was not commissioned and was therefore 100% owned by the creators to do as they pleased.

“It has come to our attention that the protagonist in the abovementioned video is said to resemble a known South African artist. We have also noted claims about the video being owned by said artist.”

“We wish to categorically state that the video was a passion product developed by Phaatoons in 2015. The video was not commissioned by any artist and thus the creators own 100% of the rights to the material.”

“In 2020, Yellow Room, in collaboration with the creators, repurposed the video for the Gauteng provincial government to raise awareness on the increasing surge of Covid-19 cases in Gauteng communities.”

Gugs speaks to Carol Bouwer – Television producer, former actress. She is the founder and CEO of Carol Bouwer productions. She is popularly known for hosting and later producing the a talk show Motswako, also she is the person behind The Mbokodo A

The Norval Foundation Board of Trustees is made up of the likes of Nonkululeko Nyembezi, Louis Norval, Norval Foundation CEO Elana Brundyn and now the iconic Carol Bouwer.

In this exclusive Q&A, Carol and Elana give us insight into Louis Norval’s vision and on how Norval Foundation plans to celebrate South Africa’s culture, diversity and encourage patriotism during this time of uncertainty.

Carol, with your background as a television presenter, producer and production company owner, you bring fresh insight to the board. How do you see this translating into your new role?

I believe what is critical for us to use my experience as a producer to bring curated experiences into the foundation. Ensuring that we curate learning, entertainment and cultural appreciation experiences that enhance the quality of life of our people. I also believe that it’s essential that I assist the Norval family in communicating the most critical part of their vision, to help South Africans see how spaces are created for their own introspective growth that interrogates their history through the arts as well as education.

You’ve joined the team at Norval Foundation in their mission to become a globally recognised art institution that encourages a wider museum-going audience in South Africa. In this time of strategy and planning, can you share your approach?

As with all our global partnerships, whether in the philanthropy space or beauty industry; we bring the right people along. I have always been cognisant of my calling to never enter any space alone. I will bring with me an engaged family of supporters who are highly accomplished but who are also in growth mode who learn as I learn, grow as I grow and stagnate if I dare to. The Mbokodo Awards have also helped me travel the world for significant art events that allow me to broaden the conversation about what we aim to achieve. Through the talk show Motswako we have worked over the years to remain in conversation with the nation and it’s a platform that will be helpful as we engage the nation on the breadth of culture. I am also conscious of the need to up my social media game to remain culturally informative while attracting new arts ambassadors. I remain proudly South African but globally engaged as I see the benefits for our people when we share our heritage with pride and via conscious communication.

Kaybee has received the most nominations so far, with his hits Gugulethu, featuring Afro Brothers, Indlovukazi and SUPTA, and Fetch Your Life, featuring Msaki, nominated in both categories.

He was watching Maphorisa’s rant and hit his rival with a simple “subaweak”.

Phori was having none of it and told Prince Kaybee to go buy his masters before he speaks.

He added that he was at level: international and was not bothered about the Samas, beyond speaking out for Limpopo artists who had been snubbed.Kaybee had, however, already lost interest and moved on to provoking his other rival, Cassper Nyovest.

The star had the streets in meltdown mode when he teased the visuals for his new music video, featuring a bus with Cassper’s nickname on it.
