Well yes, but actually no. At least not as far as I understand it.

A cuck is technically someone actively in a relationship with a woman, who gets off watching other men fuck his partner. He doesn't have to have had sex with her.
.
Note: a man being cheated on is not the same as a man being a cuck. Cuckery implies a certain level of awareness and/or participation, regardless of reluctance. Cheating the guy in no way consents or accepts the woman sleeping with someone else.

.
A simp is someone who puts women on a pedestal, gives them resources while getting next to nothing in return, and generally let's them treat him shittily. The woman doesn't have to be fucking anyone else for the guy to be a simp.
.
Simpery also typically involves a certain level of denial about the status of being "used" by the woman. Though there are exceptions ofc.
Jada Pinkett Smith finally confirmed allegations by singer August Alsina that the two had a relationship during her (currently ongoing) marriage to Will Smith. Alsina had made comments and song lyrics to that end and stated that he had spoken to Will Smith and “received his blessing” prior to the relationship when speaking to reporters. The Smiths had denied all rumors, fueled by statements such as Will Smith being quoted that they did not have a “marriage” but a “life partnership” and other comments- until recently when Pinkett-Smith and husband both appeared on her YouTube “show” and confirmed the relationship had occurred.
And- also to be clear, these events occurred allegedly years ago according to all parties statements, the Smiths and Alsina- the Smiths have faced rumors and gossip on their 20 year marriage for a good part of it, and have had marital troubles, but the impetus of this story cake recently when Alsina spoke of the affair in public after years of public silence, and the Smiths came forward some weeks later to clarify some things, correct some things they believed were not true, and give their perspectives.
Actually the term isn’t cuckery it’s cuckoldry. A cuckold is a man who wife is adulterous with or without his knowledge. Cockoldry can be a fetish when a man enjoys watching his wife with others or could just be allowed in an open relationship.

In today’s common usage as “cuck” it means lacking the masculinity to stand up for oneself and control your own circumstance; instead taking orders without question from another even if you disagree with them. See: Bootlicker
Ah I see. I only ever remember who jada is because of her last name, and I always get her confused with the daughter. Don't know that I've ever even heard her sing.
.
Still though. If it was an "open" relationship (ie: will was also sleeping around), may not necessarily make him a cuck.
.
It was at this point I realized ive given this too much thought
lol. Yes. If doesn’t thrill me that some portion of my brain was used to learn the details of who or what the smiths are doing in their marriage. I just happen to have seen the story develop via headline link while reading other news. Also- yes. The colloquial usage of “cuck” is more or less just a new slang to describe old concepts of men who are effeminate, submissive, and or otherwise not meeting the standards of a given society for masculinity in their gender role.
