August Alsina Hints at His Career Being Stalled by “Railroading” and “Stonewalling” Tactics

On Sunday evening, August Alsina took to Twitter to address fans curious about his sudden absence from the music scene.

The “No Love” singer, who once enjoyed a string of major hits, hinted at a series of obstacles that may have derailed his career, though he stopped short of confirming his retirement from music.

“One day it’ll be revealed the diabolical level of doxxing, railroading, stonewalling, road blocking, gas lighting & betrayal that goes on behind the scenes within this industry. Abuse of power, all in the name of up-keeping facades, promotion of lies and illusions; While simultaneously hiding of hands to make it look as though you’re fighting an invisible boogey-man. In this industry there is no HR to report this kind of behavior to. BUT GOD has never slept on my prayers or report,” he replied to one supporter.

Alsina’s career turmoil may partly be linked to his highly publicized relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith, which she famously termed an “entanglement.” Meeting through her son Jaden in 2015, their relationship was widely discussed and could have negatively impacted Alsina’s career trajectory. Adding to his challenges, Alsina battles Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune disease that affects his liver. This health issue, combined with the responsibility of caring for his nieces after their parents’ untimely deaths, has undoubtedly put a strain on his personal and professional life.

The combination of these personal struggles and the often murky waters of the music industry might have influenced Alsina’s decision to step back from the spotlight. Recently, he has channeled his energy into launching a skincare line, Encina Wellness, now available at Urban Outfitters.
