Tyrese Gibson got emotional talking about grief on Tuesday’s episode of The breakfast club.
The 45-year-old Fast and Furious star stopped by the radio show to discuss his upcoming album Beautiful Pain and his new film 1992, which stars him and the late Ray Liotta.
Tears flowed when host Charlamagne Tha God asked how Tyrese is coping with the loss of his loved ones, including his mother, two sisters, his Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker and Baby Boy director John Singleton.
“I’m doing the best I can with every 24 hours I have,” Tyrese replied, his eyes filling with tears.
Charlamagne stood up to hug him and offer him tissues, but Tyrese refused, saying, “This is what it’s like to grow up. Black men cry.”

Tears flowed when host Charlamagne Tha God asked how Tyrese is coping with the loss of loved ones, including his mother, two sisters, his Fast & Furious co-star Paul Walker and Baby Boy director John Singleton.
She continued: “When a divorce occurs, women are not the only ones who are devastated.
‘When a miscarriage occurs, it is not only women who need to be monitored.
‘When you can’t put food on the table because your career is up and down, stop calling and ignoring the man and focusing only on the woman.’
Tyrese has faced significant personal losses, including the death of his mother, Priscilla Murray Gibson, in 2022 from COVID-19 and pneumonia, and his two sisters, Salendra and Shonta Gibson, in 2021 and 2023.
He also mourned the loss of industry colleagues: Baby Boy director Singleton, who passed away in 2019, and his 2 Fast 2 Furious co-star Walker, who died in a car crash in 2013.
Additionally, Tyrese has endured the pain of two divorces and ongoing custody battles.
He was married to Norma Mitchell from 2007 to 2009 and shares a 17-year-old daughter, Shayla, with her.
His second marriage to Samantha Gibson ended in separation in 2020 after four years, and they have a 6-year-old daughter, Soraya.
“This is really shit. I’m going to wipe my tears,” Tyrese continued on The Breakfast Club. “When you do things with your heart, you affect hearts.”

In 2017, Tyrese went viral with his emotional video ‘Cryese’, where he shared an emotional clip about his custody battle with Norma over their daughter Shayla. He later secured 50/50 joint custody of their daughter.
Last week, Tyrese got emotional after performing the National Anthem at the Los Angeles Rams’ preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.
During the performance, he paid tribute to Marvin Gaye and shared why it was such a moving experience for him.
“It’s for my mom. Four kids and there’s only two of us left. I was the only one born and raised in Los Angeles. This means a lot to me,” he shared with ET. “I hit some bad notes, but Marvin Gaye, I hope I made you proud. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you.”
