Tyrese Gibson Reveals Shocking Childhood Story About His Late Mother

Tyrese Gibson recently opened up about a surprising chapter from his childhood, revealing that his mother made him pretend to have special needs for a benefit check when he was just 8 years old. In a candid interview, Tyrese shared that his mother, in need of financial support, instructed him to act out this role to secure an extra $762 from the government. Reflecting on this experience, Tyrese noted that this was technically his first acting role.

His mother passed away in 2022, and Tyrese addressed the story with a mix of humor and honesty, saying, “You can’t arrest my mom, she’s gone, government.”
