Tyrese Gibson, known for his soulful music and iconic roles in films, recently sat down with “The Morning Hustle” to promote his latest projects and offer a candid look into his personal life. The R&B singer and actor has been making headlines with the release of his new album *Beautiful Pain* and the same-day premiere of his new film, “1992“, in theaters on August 30. The movie stars Tyrese alongside Ray Liotta and Scott Eastwood in a gripping and emotionally charged narrative that resonated deeply with him.
Tyrese expressed his passion for the film, emphasizing how authentic the story felt to him. “I wanted to do this movie because it was real to me,” he explained. “I wasn’t acting, I was reacting.” His words reflect the emotional connection he felt while filming, a connection that he believes will translate to the audience. Tyrese is known for his intense performances, and this film appears to be no exception, as he hinted at the raw, real-life issues it tackles.
When asked about his new album, “Beautiful Pain”, Tyrese made it clear that it’s not an album aimed at the younger generation. “I don’t care about the youth supporting me. I make music for grown folks,” he stated, drawing a line between his work and the mainstream music scene. The album addresses mature themes, and Tyrese’s intent is to connect with an adult audience who can relate to the experiences and emotions he’s channeling through his music.
During the interview, Tyrese didn’t shy away from discussing his personal life. He opened up about his past relationship with ex-wife Samantha Lee, with whom he has had a very public split. “I never cheated on my ex-wife Samantha,” Tyrese revealed, adding that he had made a promise to God to do life with her. He was clearly still processing the pain of their separation, expressing his belief that “real women don’t run” and lamenting that Samantha had left him “out of the blue.”
Tyrese also touched on broader issues regarding relationships, commenting that many women grow up with unrealistic expectations about marriage, shaped by Disney fairy tales. He shared his thoughts on marriage, questioning whether he would ever get married again, while reflecting on the lessons he’s learned from his past.
In a surprising moment, Tyrese issued an apology to the “color hair community,” though the context and specifics of this apology were not fully explained. This statement, however, reflects his ongoing effort to address past controversies and maintain a connection with his diverse fanbase.
Tyrese didn’t hold back when discussing the justice system and racial inequality, referencing the infamous Reginald Denny trial, a rare case where violence against a white person by a Black person received widespread attention. He noted the disparity in how the justice system handles cases involving Black victims, pointing out that “a lot of people have lost their lives, and there have never been any trials to match the bodies.”
In his typical candid style, Tyrese acknowledged the complexities of truth, stating, “There is the truth, then there’s my truth.” This reflects his understanding that personal experiences often differ from the public’s perception, particularly in the court of social media. Tyrese cautioned against airing personal business online, warning that if you do, “don’t expect people not to have opinions.”
Tyrese’s interview was a testament to his transparency and willingness to engage with difficult topics. Whether discussing his career, personal life, or societal issues, Tyrese continues to keep it real with his fans, never shying away from controversy or vulnerability. As he moves forward with his music and acting career, Tyrese remains committed to staying true to himself and sharing his
