"Both his father and stepfather battled crack cocaine addictions," reported HollywoodLife.com, "and his father eventually died.
August's older brother, Melvin La'Branch III, was shot and killed on August 31, 2010. His death inspired August to became more committed to his music career." Fans know that his older brother was the subject for his song "Downtown."
Alsina was upset with interviewer Keshia Chante for asking about his feud with Trey Songz back in April on "106 & Park," but the incident falls in his past as Alsina is currently captivating fans on his "Testimony Live Tour."
Check out some of the tweets and videos from fans.
