The manager for this alliterate barely there celebrity is someone any celebrity should use.
He took a guy who had been groomed by an actress for herself and maybe her husband was involved too, and then got him a reality show and told him to come out and then got him a skin care line which sold out in under an hour.
Wow.

August Alsina Launches New Skin Care Line, Encina Wellness
August Alsina is on a spiritual journey.
The 29-year-old singer from New Orleans has endured much in his life between fast stardom with his debut album Testimony in 2014, an autoimmune disease that upended his life and losing a brother to gun violence and sister to cancer.
The ups, downs and struggles pushed Alsina to come to terms with himself and practice healing, all of which have inspired his new venture, Encina Wellness, a skin care line that represents healing from within and self-care. Alsina hopes to make this a community initiative.
“Everything I do is a tribute to myself and my ancestors, because each time I get more equipped with more energy and wisdom,” Alsina said of the development of his new line.
Encina is comprised of four products, Begin Again facial cleanser, 3-in-1 Super Elixir, Stripped Powder Exfoliator and Infused Wellness Cream. Encina is Spanish for holm oak (and the word Alsina’s last name is derived from) and key ingredients include oak tree extract and vitamin E.
“As I did deeper research on oak trees, I learned they grow so large it can look like it gains a crown at its highest height,” Alsina said. “More research led me to discover how old a tree is by its rings. We incorporated that idea into the packaging.”

Alsina was also in a brief romance with actress Jada Pinkett-Smith when he was battling an addiction to painkillers, as she revealed in her Facebook Watch show “Red Table Talk.” She said she sought to help him heal while she was separated from husband Will Smith. Alsina remained silent on the affair but went public after he became legal guardian of his three nieces. Pinkett-Smith referred to the affair as an “entanglement,” which inspired the title of his song “Entanglements” with rapper Rick Ross in 2020. – Source
August Alsina Introduces The Man He Credits With Teaching Him About Love And Healing
August Alsina has revealed the identity of a man that the R&B singer credits with teaching him about love and healing.
August Alsina has revealed the identity of a man that the R&B singer credits with teaching him about love and healing.
During the season finale of the VH1 reality TV show The Surreal Life, Alsina gives the viewers a summary of his time on the revamped series, beginning his monologue by foreshadowing his big reveal.
“This experience has taught me love in so many forms and facets,” Alsina said, talking directly into the camera. “And then what do you know? Love showed up, but in a new way.”
The 30-year-old crooner continued, “I want to share that and really honor 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 because it defies all the constructs that one would say love is supposed to be or love should look like.”
Alsina then beckons someone out of the view of the camera to enter the frame, which happens to be a man. As the man, who has since been identified as a music artist named Zu, sits down, Alsina motions towards him and tells him, “I love you,” before embracing him with a hug. The episode then ends, resulting in a cliffhanger that left viewers speculating about the exact nature of the Louisiana native’s relationship with Zu and whether it’s romantic or platonic. – Source
