22. Business

(August's P.O.V.)

"My man August Alsina in the buildin' everybody! Imma need y'all to make some noise." I grinned as Sway cheered as well as the rest of his crew.

"Yuh' already know what it is man." I replied back to Sway as I dapped him up.

"How have you been Yung? We ain't see you in a minute."

I kissed mah teeth in a playful way.
"Ahh man yuh' know a nigga been workin', gridin', all that gud' shit."

"Okay Yung' we'll have to take that cause you was startin' to worry us with all this "cancelin our interviews" and shit. I was beginning to think that we was gon' have to shoot it." I laughed aloud.

"It's not like dat' at all man, I've just been havin' to push things back because I had a lot goin' on outside of mah' career."

"What's been goin' on? Tell us." Tracy insisted.

"Yea Yung you've been the medias main attention lately especially with this mystery women that allegedly goes by the name of Kiara Smith and then there's that model Marlyin Cunnigham that we all see you've been kickin' it with. So do you think that it has to do a lot with that? Would you like to clear the air for us?"

"The whole thing wit' Marylin dat' got everyone thinkin' we got somethin' goin' on, is wrong."

"So it's not true?" I shook mah' head no.

"Are you sure y'all ain't doin' anything at all that we all should know?"

"Nah man, I mean she's just a friend who I usually hang out wit' and dats' it."

"Damn just like that? Ain't no kissin' involved?" I laughed

"Nah I 'on't got time fo' dat'. We jus' friends 'nd at dis' point in mah' life dats' all we eva' gonna be."

"Okay I can actually understand where you comin' from."

"I mean the medias job is to make everyone else think somethin' different and if I wanted to make it clear dat' me and ha' had a lil' some goin' on I would have made it obvious, buh' right now a nigga just chillin'."

"Okay August I see you." Tracy replied playfully winkin' at meh.

"So August the whole situation with that other girl all your fans been on you about. What's up with that? You datin' her?"

I rubbed my chin "I mean I undastand' dat' dea has been a lot of talk with me and lil shorty and no dea' ain't nun goin' on between us. But I do have a type of friendship with ha' for the sake of our 5 year old daughta'."

I could hea' Tracy and Heather gasp afta' what I had just said.

"You lyin'?" I fixed my cap from da' back to da' front lookin' back at Sway.

"Nah dis' is serious shit. I wouldn't lie 'bout somethin' like dis'."

"Are you sure that she's yours?"

"Yeah, I'm sho' dat' she's mine."

"I mean as long as you owning up to your actions and being the bigger person." Heather chimed in.

"I most definitely agree. I mean I support you August and I know for sure that your fans will continue to support you. Overall congratulations Aug."

"Yea congrats Yung." Heather and Sway said at the same time.

"Thanks. I mean...I do understand dis' is big news for a lot of people to take in especially mah' fans, mah' family, yuh' know those who support me. It still is a very big shock to meh' buh' I'm takin' it day by day."
