Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

The last half of the year has been rocky for singer Tyrese. Now, the singer is revealing that he lied about his wife’s pregnancy in an Instagram photo posted earlier this month.

In the post, the singer clears the air about a number of things and blames his medication for the misunderstanding. “To clear the air cause I’m an open book and got nothing to hide. My wife is NOT pregnant and never was (those meds had me on one).”

Tyrese also cleared the air about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith lending him millions to cover legal bills, adding that he’s “apologized to them privately and publicly for everything.”

The last few months have seen the singer battling for custody and visitation with his daughter, Shayla, after his ex-wife Norma Gibson accused him of abusing the 10-year-old. 

Tyrese claims that he was advised to start taking Rexulti, a medication for adults facing major depressive disorder, and while on the drug “did some really stupid things publicly and privately that will take me a while to recover from. “

“Again I apologize to those of you that I’ve let down from the ‘way’ this all looks but we live and learn and I’ve learned a LOT.. ,” he added. “For my so called loved ones who went out of their to step on me while I was Down. I know exactly who you are… and I seen everything- I love You Too. This is my last post about the past. Let’s move on shall we?”
