August Alsina Hints That The Music Industry Will Be Exposed For “Diabolical” Actions Behind The Scenes
August Alsina says that the music industry will eventually be exposed for fostering a “diabolical” level of misconduct behind the scenes. He shared his opinion on the industry during a rant on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after fans complained about not getting new music from the singer. “I have the biggest bone to pick with him for not doing music anymore. How dare you!” one user wrote, prompting Alsina’s response.
“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,” he wrote. “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. http://Give.It.Time!
