Tyrese Admits to Wearing Fake Jewelry, Says It Doesn’t Bother Him

However, a notable moment came when co-host Charlamagne Tha God inquired about the authenticity of his earrings.
With characteristic honesty, Tyrese responded with a straightforward “No,” Explaining that he’s lost a fortune on extravagant jewelry in the past.
“You know why it’s not real? Because I’ve lost so much of this shit. I done spent half a million dollars on a fucking watch. Call Jacob The Jeweler, n-gga. Call all of them. All the most famous, popular jewelers online, they all got my black Centurion [American Express card]. That thing goes through. I’m good."

He noted, urging listeners to consult popular jewelers like Jacob The Jeweler to verify his claims.
He revealed that he still has access to all his financial resources but has chosen to step back from the jewelry game.
“I don’t lose no sleep over trying to win the popularity contest showing up with all this jewelry that I’ma leave on the nightstand and have a housekeeper that says, ‘I don’t know!’ I’m sure you don’t know where them fucking $250k earrings is at!”
Tyrese emphasized. He acknowledged the risks that come with expensive items, joking about a housekeeper potentially misplacing his $250K earrings.
His reflection on wealth signifies a shift towards valuing experiences and relationships over material possessions in the hip-hop scene.
However, not everything is smooth sailing for the R&B star. Tyrese has been embroiled in a series of legal battles related to child support payments following his divorce from Samantha Lee.
Recently, Samantha accused him of contempt of court for his failure to pay the agreed monthly child support of $10,000.
Tyrese has expressed his struggles, attributing his financial difficulties to the lack of current film projects, particularly within the lucrative Fast & Furious franchise.
The last release in that saga hit theaters in summer 2023, leaving him in a tenuous financial situation.
