August Alsina Hangs Himself in New Music Video | News | BET
August Alsina got his fans, and maybe even some family members, up in arms over a photo of him hanging from a ceiling with a noose around his neck. Alsina threw the image up on Instagram yesterday (May 21), which appears to be a shot from his new music video for "FML," a track where he touches on suicidal thoughts.
The 21-year-old captioned the disturbing photo, "Rest in peace Aug. Forever missed #holdyoudownforlife." The picture racked up more than 9,000 comments.
Some of his Instagram followers assumed the flick was from the video set, while others thought the picture was distasteful in general. One user by the name of mac_alsina pleaded with the crooner to "answer the phone," claiming that his grandmother was in tears from seeing the photo. Another person — a producer from TMZ — asked Alsina to reach out and explain the image.
Although the New Orleans native is a relatively new name to R&B, he's used to being in the midst of a little controversy now and again. He recently called Trey Songz out after a collaborative show between the two fell through. Songz wasn't fazed; he stated in an interview that Alsina had "a lot going on in his life outside of music" and refused to speak negatively about him.
No matter how outspoken he has been in the past, it doesn't look like Alsina will be providing any further clarification on the noose photo. Thousands of questions, comments and concerns haven't been enough to get him to respond just yet.

He looks like he's being fukking lynched. And I'm guessing this was purposefully done. Some white director probably came up with the idea of the video and, being a c00n/uneducated, he just went right along with it.
Even if he did object to the idea....he was probably told "oh you see, but the controversy is what sells! Don't worry, we'll release the video as is, and if people complain, we'll release a statement accusing others of being too sensitive/politically correct".
This game has been played far too many fukking times.
As always, you just have to imagine something happen to another group...if you can, than it's fine, if not...racism is at play.
So ask yourself if a Jew would have imagery of himself being gassed.
