Singer August Alsina sliced off a large portion of his fan base and caused irreversible damage to his image, and perhaps career, after blatantly feeling up and groping a female fan’s breasts he invited onstage during his concert.
The New Orleans R&B crooner got too handsy with a female fan as he serenaded her during a performance during the Freebandz Music Fest in Baton Rouge, La. over the weekend.
The randomly-selected woman sat on a stool on the stage at the Baton Rouge River Center on Friday night. Perhaps Alsina was too enticed by the woman’s fitted gold skirt and a paired it with a low-cut top that showed ample cleavage.
She looks squeamish as he caressed her neck with his left hand and crooned into a microphone in his right hand. His left hand then worked its way down to the young woman’s left breast, cupping it before moving onto her right. The fan laughed it off then moved her own left hand to cover her breasts as Alsina settled for an awkward hug, resting his left arm around the young lady’s neck.
The unnamed woman sat on a stool on the stage at the Baton Rouge River Center on Friday night, according to fan-shot footage obtained by music site Complex. The fan wore a fitted gold skirt and a paired it with a low-cut top that showed ample cleavage, and Alsina seemingly took advantage of her attire
She made an uncomfortable face as he caressed her neck with his left hand and crooned into a microphone in his right hand. His left hand then worked its way down to the young woman’s left breast, cupping it before moving onto her right. The fan laughed then moved her own left hand to cover her breasts as Alsina settled for an awkward hug, resting his left arm around the young lady’s neck.
Social media was none too please and ripped into Alsina’s carcass with the ferocity of hungry lions. Take a look:
this just makes me not like August Alsina even more

One individual claims he saw the woman’s instagram post and still tried to get backstage after the public humiliation — that is, if she felt any embarrassment.
Yall reading too far into this August Alsina thing. She was all on ig trying to get backstage. ?

Fellas, if you’re gonna make statements to defend August Alsina’s actions, don’t. Just delete your account, fam. — Cerebral Assassin (@UbaTheDiplomat) September 28, 2015
August Alsina isn’t even on the level where his name will be used in the headline. “Third-Rate R&B Singer Gropes Fan On Stage”
