Tyrese Gibson Addresses Viral Rumors Head-On

“What y’all not gonna do is put no devil on me,” Tyrese declared firmly. “The Lord Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. Ain’t no devil worshiping over here, ain’t no secret society, and ain’t no Illuminati.”

He also addressed claims that he had “sacrificed” loved ones to further his career. “Sacrificing who?” he asked, visibly frustrated. “If I’m sacrificing my friends… where’s the private plane? Where’s the lifestyle? Goofy muthaf**kas.” Tyrese pointed out that his life has not been filled with the extravagant upgrades that such conspiracy theories often imply.

Tyrese also tackled criticism surrounding his attire during a trip to the Middle East, where he wore a traditional kandura. “That ain’t no dress,” he said emphatically. “That’s what you wear in the Middle East. It’s culture, not a ritual.”

The actor used this moment to shed light on cultural misconceptions, asking for greater understanding and respect for diverse traditions. “Grown men in Africa and the Middle East wear these. It’s not a sacrifice; it’s what they do.”

Throughout his statement, Tyrese emphasized his unwavering Christian faith and his commitment to casting away negativity. “I cast demonic spirits away from me every day. I walk strongly with my beliefs,” he affirmed.

He also made clear his respect for the LGBTQ+ community while clarifying his own identity. “Live your life and do what makes you happy,” he said. “But that’s not who I chose to love. I love God, not just privately, but publicly.”

Tyrese’s defiant video has sparked widespread conversation online, with the star urging fans to share his message of faith. “Spread the goodness,” he wrote. “Let’s shine a light in the darkness.”
