Kevin McCall is calling out Tyrese Gibson for allegedly faking support when he needed real help the most.

During the “Back on Figg” podcast, McCall didn’t mince words.
“Tyrese is a buster. That’s how I felt,” he began, recounting how he was broke and famous, crashing on his grandmother’s couch while his so-called idol lived in a mansion he nicknamed “Reesey Hanna’s.”
McCall explained, “He got Benihana in the back. He got a Starbucks…This is my idol.”
So when Tyrese reached out, McCall thought it was a lifeline.
“He’s like, ‘You homeless? I’m finna do something for you.’” But what followed felt more like a movie monologue than real help.
According to McCall, Tyrese told him, “God told me he don’t want me letting somebody else go through the hurdles that I’ve overcame without at least giving them the gems, if you will.”
Instead of offering a room, Tyrese said he’d call someone on McCall’s behalf and “stamp” the message.
“I said, if you don’t get the f**k off my phone with that weirdo s**t,” McCall responded.
Tyrese has not yet responded to this clip. However, after the interview went viral, Young Thug offered McCall $25,000 that was allegedly owed to the songwriter from Chris Brown. It’s unclear if he accepted the gift.
