Jaden Smith used to be known for his acting and rapping careers, but his presence on social media has certainly been his main method of fame as of late. He used to go viral for his mysterious tweets, but over the past few years, he's been much more direct with his thoughts and opinions.

August Alsina might be remembered for his romance with Jada Pickett-Smith, but his friendship with Jaden for whatever reason hasn't been discussed as much. Jaden and August have a pretty interesting history together - here's exactly what they've done together.
Per Jojo Crews, Smith and Alsina met as actors for the unaired TV show Brothers in Atlanta. After that, they would attend music festivals and Hollywood parties together. Naturally, things went downhill after all the drama that transpired. However, if it wasn't for what was once a pretty close friendship between those two, perhaps Will and Jada's relationship troubles would have gone differently.

However, Tyler confessed a few times on his albums "Flower Boy" and "Igor" that he's seriously into guys in a romantic way, once again sparking rumors of a fling between him and Smith.
