Akbar V faces criticism for criticizing August Alsina’s revelation about “loving men”
Akbar V has found himself in hot water after criticizing August Alsina for recent comments in which he claimed that God had opened his heart to “loving men.”
The 34-year-old Atlanta rapper and Love & Hip Hop personality rejected Alsina’s spiritual claims, saying that if God had actually told him to love the same sex, he would have been “calling God a liar,” as the Bible clearly labels same-sex relationships as “sinful.”
“Why are you all so mad? I just told the truth,” Akbar said in an Instagram video before sharing the religious message. “Many Christian influencers are afraid to speak out against fraud, but I refuse to be silent. Their content makes no sense. God gave me a platform to represent Him, not to glorify myself,” she wrote.
She continued, “Some believers with large followings remain silent because they fear missing out on opportunities. But following Jesus comes at a price. No opportunity is worth losing my relationship with God. I have already made my choice. A new wave of bold influencers is rising, and those who are afraid to stand firm will soon fall.”
August Alsina responds subtly after Akbar’s comments
August Alsina has been trending online recently after her candid conversation with Nick Cannon on Counsel Culture. During the discussion, a panelist asked about his “love for others” and how “opening [his] heart” changed him. Alsina explained that God helped him see things differently, saying, “The greatest gift God gave me was exposure to people, places, and things that helped me grow.”
These words did not sit well with Akbar V, who proudly lives by his traditional beliefs and strictly follows the Bible.
However, Alsina seemed to respond indirectly and quite simply. According to a report shared by The Shade Room, the singer promoted his new fragrance, Evolutionary, calling it “anti-negative energy.” He added that it has become “a form of aromatherapy” for him. Akbar seems to have been subtly mentioned in his caption: “M E S S A G E 🗒️ !! … There’s so much to say, but I’ll let God’s grace speak louder. Stay healthy! ❤️🩹.”
Fan reactions and online discussion
The conversation between the two stars has sparked a huge debate online, and fans aren’t holding back their opinions. Some are supporting Akbar for standing firm in his faith, while others believe August has every right to interpret his spiritual journey in his own way.
As tensions continue to rise, many believe this back-and-forth could continue for days. What do you think of August Alsina’s subtle response to Akbar V’s criticism? Whose stance do you agree with – and did anyone cross the line? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
