Over the weekend, R&B crooner August Alsina sent fans into a panic when he revealed that he had some sort of “disease” that was taking over his life, and fans instantly began speculating what it could be.

I’ve been living my life in so much dis-ease that I’ve literally created it within myself… God has invested something inside of me, But I am not afraid of this Agony because I know that God pulls us back to shoot us FORWARD. ? & To my lovely and loyal fans.. Please take care of yourself and your bodies & your SOULS. A beautiful face will fade, a beautiful body will too fade, but a beautiful soul is that FOREVER. I have so much to share, until I do.. Please say a prayer ?? -AA

Well now the singer is revealing what that disease is in a new sit down interview with actress Jada Pinkett-Smith. In a clip posted by the singer to Instagram, we see him sit down with his close friend and mentor to open up on his diagnosis, which he says is a of a form of liver disease.

“I have a liver disease, where my auto-immune system is fighting against itself. The reality is that I’m sick all the time. I don’t really like to talk about because I’m not looking for anybody’s sympathy.”

In the clip, he also talks about his well documented series of health scares over the past couple years, including his 2014 collapse on stage which landed him in the hospital in a coma for several days. Also his history of depression which he has spoken on before, is also covered. No word on when/where we will see the full sit down, but get into the teasers below.

Sat down with my favorite person on planet earth to have one of the most HEALING conversations.. I hope it’s as healing for you as it was for us. I pray that you not only hear me but you FEEL me. This shall soon come. #DRUGS

Please excuse my defense mechanism in this clip.. I’m sicker than ever & having a hard time accepting what I feel & what the Doctors are saying is most true. After sitting down and talking with my fathers mother and sister.. They explained to me that sickness & illness runs in my family. My father & grandfather both died of severe illness. ?? but they were FIGHTERS & that’s all that matters. ??✨✨✨ Just ride with me is all I ask.

Our prayers are with August as he fights his illness.
