Interview with Tyrese Gibson August 2015 | Page 2

During this time, Tyrese humbly opened up with a very personal message surrounding his R&B movement utilizing “Black Rose” to make a statement of his intentions to change the game. “I’m on a mission that is much bigger than me. I’m on a mission that is a little uncomfortable at times. I’m on a mission, in most cases, will benefit others greater than benefiting myself. This is a very selfless move that I’m making on behalf of the state of R&B. I am not superman. I don’t feel like I have a cape on. I’m not doing this for any type of antics. I’m not really lacking in the celebrity public figure department. I’m not lacking in the press or media department. As far as an Entertainer, things are pretty solid in my life and in my world. I think ya’ll know me by now and knowing the level of integrity. Other than my social media engagement and the engagement levels, which has me at about 4.5 billion a month in reach….” Tyrese made it very clear that he doesn’t socialize on Instagram and Facebook for media purposes, however he uses these God-given stages and platforms to motivate and inspire the world. His form of giving back, other than giving money, is giving away everything that he knows because he’s an inspirational leader for many people that look up to him. Tyrese goes on to say: “When you have all of these beautiful, smart, talented singers, writers, producers, executives, just creative people in general, all of us have those moments of being uninspired, not being motivated to continue, most of us get caught up in life’s pressures, getting pregnant, starting a family, getting off of your path and losing focus.” People look up to Tyrese and are inspired by his walk and success. He uses his knowledge and wisdom that God has given him to bless fallen souls that need a lift. He’s not a Pastor. He’s just a regular guy that wants to stay in touch with the common man and common woman to keep them inspired. He has helped many suicidal people that have walked up to him ready to quit, give up and drop out of school, and so on. Tyrese’s Facebook videos, Instagram and Twitter postings keep his followers inspired and motivated to step out of their dark world and come into the light to finish what they have started because God doesn’t count them out. It takes people, such as Tyrese to let others know that He counts them in. Now as far as music, I’m going to break down very important statistical facts that some may not know.    Tyrese’s first number 1 album is “Black Rose.” His first number 1 single as a solo Artist is “Stay.” This single was number 1 off of his last album on Billboard for 11 consecutive weeks in a row. He now has his second number 1 single, “Shame featuring Jennifer Hudson.”
