Well just a day after hitting us with the official video for “Drugs,” the N.O. Having been M.I.A for the most part of 2016, August Alsina returned to the music scene last week with the release of his new single “Drugs,” which he later confirmed was the title track to his forthcoming album.

During the episode, Will Smith said that it was “critical” to be able to “make mistakes without the fear of losing your family.August Alsina - Wait (Official Video) August Alsina - WAIT (Official Video) After that admission, the Smiths - during an episode of Red Table Talk - say they got to a "place of unconditional love.” That is really nice for them, but I think I like my love with some conditions. I don’t know about you, but I’m not aiming for any sort of relationship that includes sleeping with my child’s friend who is decades my junior (we really don’t talk about how predatory and messed up this story is enough). This is a couple who sat down at the infamous red table (during Pinkett-Smith’s Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk, which don’t forget, is a family business) to hash out details of her romantic “entanglement” with August Alsina. "The me of today would not have stayed with him, but would I be who I am now without that pain?” I wish relationships for Black women that aren’t painful, period, and softness so we don’t have to be strong. “The advice I would give myself now is to leave,” she continues in her memoir. And looking back, she’s not sure she would make the same choice. But truth matters." The truth, according to Union, is that while “strangers” were envying her relationship, she was “shattered into fine dust scattering in the wind.” But she chose to forgive Wade. I have not had words, and even after untold amounts of therapy I am not sure I have them now. "There are people - strangers I will never meet - who have been upset that I have not previously talked about that trauma. "To say I was devastated is to pick a word on a low shelf for convenience," she writes.
It was also while she was experiencing her own heartbreaking fertility issues. Dwyane Wade fathered a child while they were “on a break” from their relationship in 2013.
In her latest memoir, You Got Anything Stronger?, Union details the choppy waters the article is referring to. These Black couples become everything to project hopes, dreams and unrealistic aspirations onto because they are the exceptions, the chosen few representing Black love when seeing two Black people in love is still so rare onscreen. And for the “representation matters” set, #RelationshipGoals is another way to see Black people shine in an industry that attempts to dim their light every chance it gets.
So when Black couples simply stay together, they’re not only beating the imaginary odds, they’re also gaming a system designed for them to fail. Studios have been coupling up their leads to sell movies since Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
Hollywood unions are also great for business. And the stereotype is that Black marriages also don’t last (yes, the divorce rate is slightly higher in Black marriages, but not by much, and Black women are actually getting married less, if at all). Hollywood marriages are notoriously short-lived. For Black celebrity couples, “relationship goals” come with added expectation - and adoration. Influencers chase the honor to be revered by single people as the gold standard of partnership while certain celebs seem to fall into the distinction by doing the bare minimum: seeming to treat their romantic partner with love and respect or, you know, just by being hot and there.
