The day before the release of his second album ‘This Thing Called Life’, American R&B singer, August Alsina has stirred up some controversy with his label.
Yesterday, the singer took to Twitter to put Def Jam on blast for making the entire album available to stream on Vevo.
I didn’t do this. My shitty ass label did it. They’re just fucking Shitty! Smh

FUCKKKKKKKKK YOU @DefJamRecords — August Alsina (@AugustAlsina) December 10, 2015
Just a few hours later, though, he back-pedalled, posting a message on Instagram, apologising for his behaviour.
He concluded the letter by further clarifying his remarks. ‘I have a great deal of respect for my Def-Jam family, but I hate the disappointment my album leaking has caused my fans. I hope this letter provides a better understanding of where I’m coming from.’
But Alsina clearly made waves, as the album was removed from Vevo soon after.
‘This Thing Called Life’ features appearances from Chris Brown, Anthony Hamilton, and Jadakiss.
