August Alsina Says Partner Zu Was Over 18 as Both Deny Grooming Claims

Public scrutiny intensified following posts that referenced five years of knowing each other after an Atlanta club appearance.

Overview

  • Zu says he met Alsina as an adult and denies being groomed, calling this his only public statement on the matter.
  • Alsina writes on X that Zu misrepresented his age when they first connected, says Zu was over 18, and adds he learned the truth after meeting family.
  • Both address timeline questions by saying they will have known each other for five years by the end of the year.
  • Reports list Alsina as 32 and Zu as reportedly 22, a roughly ten-year gap that has drawn online speculation.
  • The couple says they kept the relationship low-profile to protect it, with recent ATL Pride weekend photos and comments triggering renewed attention.
