August Alsina is opening up about his sexuality.

During a recent episode of Nick Cannon’s “Counsel Culture” podcast, Alsina says he refuses to label who he chooses to love. “To be honest with you, bro, it’s not even me that’s opening my heart,” Alsina said when he was asked about loving another man.

“It’s that power that’s higher than myself. I always say that the greatest gift that God could have ever given me was exposure. To expose me to so many different kinds of people, places, things.”

He added, “So it’s like, when people want you to define yourself as whether you’re gay, straight, bisexual, or whatever it is you was just talking about, love is much more complex than that and has much more depth. So for me, I’m just the kind of person that, because love is a language, I’m fluent in love when it speaks to me.”

This isn’t the first time Alsina addressed his rumored love interest. We previously reported that while on “Surreal Life”, August opened up about experiencing love in a new way.

“I want to share that and really honour the person that I love and that loves me back and teaching me so much about love and healing. I want to do that in front of the world,” he said.

“Because it defies all of the constructs that one would say love is supposed to be or love would look like.” He added, “and then what do you know? Love showed up, but in a new way” he says as his seemingly love interest comes out in front of the camera and approaches him with a hug.
