In a heart-to-heart talk with her husband Will Smith on her Facebook show ‘Red Table’, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed to her husband that she did have a relationship with R&B singer August Alsina. In her words she referred to her partnership with August Alsina as an “Entanglement”, she further explained that the partnership occurred while she and her husband Will Smith were separated. 

The American actress acknowledged that the act was as a result of the emotional pain she felt as a result of the separation with her husband. 

“We were over," she says. "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August."

Mr Smith then presses her, saying "an entanglement? A relationship."

"I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken," she countered.

The couple who have been married for over 20years with two children said they are currently back together after a split. They also said they appeared on the show to clear the rumor circulating in the media which was as a result of August Alsina’s claim that he had a relationship with Jada Pinkett and her husband Will Smith had consented to their affair. In response to this claim, Jada Pinkett Smith said;

“The only person that can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself," Pinkett Smith responded 

"I could actually see how he would perceive it as permission because we were separated amicably and I think he also wanted to make it clear that he's also not a home-wrecker. Which he's not."

Mr Gal Pissetzky the Chicago based lawyer hired by HushPuppi over his allegedly fraud case has petitioned the US government and FBI. In his petition, he accused the FBI of kidnapping his client in Dubai and illegally taken him to the United States. 

In a one-on-one chat with BBC, the legal practitioner revealed that United Arab Emirates has no extradition agreement with the United States and therefore sees the act as an illegal one. He went further to explain that if an extradition should be made, it should be to his client’s hometown Nigeria. 

Pissetzky explained; “in my opinion, the FBI and the government here acted illegally when they kidnapped my client from Dubai without any legal process to do so”. He continued “There was no extradition, there was no legal steps taken, there was no court documents filed, it was simply a call to the FBI. He is not a citizen of the United States, the United States had absolutely no authority to take him. If Dubai wanted to expel him, they should have expelled him back to Nigeria. I’ve never heard anything like that. This is the real story”.

Elon Musk Promise Fully Autonomous Cars in 2020

Four years after the company started producing and selling fully-self driving Software (TSLA), Elon Musk CEO of SpaceX made a significant promise which is set to be fulfilled this year.

In an Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai China, the multi-billionaire promised that Tesla Vehicles will be fully autonomous by the end of this year, saying it would be a dream come true for Tesla lovers.

Bloomberg News reported that Elon Musk made this prediction known through a pre-recorded video at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference held in Shanghai, China. He revealed;

"I remain confident that we will have the basic functionality for level five autonomy complete this year," Musk said, according to Bloomberg. "I think there are no fundamental challenges remaining for level five autonomy. There are many small problems, and then there's the challenge of solving all those small problems and then putting the whole system together, and just keep addressing the long tail of problems."

For four years, Tesla has continued selling a "full self-driving" software that can be added on to its vehicles for a constantly increasing price(currently $8,000 online).
But despite the name, and its associate software called "autopilot," the software still requires full driver attention. If the car does not detect hands on the steering wheel after a certain amount of time, it will slow the car and eventually halt.

If full-self driving does hit level 5 the industry standard for a software that does not need any human intervention this year, it is more likely that Musk would be fulfilling his bold promise for an autonomous Tesla.
