August Alsina is growing through a lot right now in his personal life. He recently revealed that he is dealing with a liver disease in an interview with Jada Pinkett Smith.
Now he’s back in the headlines because he had to deal with aggressive fans that would not take no for an answer.
According to TMZ, August took things into his own hands after a few of his admirers wouldn’t stop following him recently in Los Angeles.
TMZ writes:
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … August was shopping at Food 4 Less around 9 PM Wednesday in the San Fernando Valley when 3 chicks and a guy hounded him to take pics with them.
We’re told the singer told them he wasn’t feeling well — he’s battling liver disease — but they wouldn’t budge. An employee saw it happening and called cops.
Sources say when August left the store, the group followed him. We’re told August grabbed a gun from his car, slid it down his waistband and showed the butt of the gun as the group approached.
August was long gone by the time cops showed up, but law enforcement sources say cops determined the singer did NOT point the gun at the group or make any verbal threats.
Cops took down a brandishing firearm report but law enforcement sources say because the alleged crime is he-said, she said, law enforcement sources say the case will likely go nowhere.
They should have left him alone. Celebrities are people too.
August is really going through it right now. HIs privacy needs to be respected.
People do the most for the gram I swear. Rooting for August.
