Tyrese Gibson and Kevin McCall sat across from each other in a new viral clip released on November 9, finally addressing the friction sparked by McCall’s Bacc On Figg appearance.
In that earlier interview, McCall claimed Tyrese abandoned him during his lowest point, saying the singer refused to help when he was homeless after his professional split from Chris Brown and his custody fight with Eva Marcille. The new video flips that narrative, giving Tyrese the floor to lay out his side with the kind of raw honesty he rarely shows in public.
Tyrese opens the conversation by challenging McCall’s previous statements. “I just wanted you to tell people the real story,” he says. “’Cause if we were just trying to go viral over the story, then just tell me you wanted to go viral.”
He makes it clear he believed McCall leaned into a narrative designed to trend rather than one grounded in truth. “If you ain’t going to tell people the real story and we out here playing games,” he adds, “and we real Watts n***as, we don’t do the ‘viral’ shit.”
He points to specific moments from McCall’s interview. “Imitating my voice,” Ty begins. “Telling n***as I left you to the streets when you were homeless and fucked up. Called me and asked me to look out when I got mansions, multiple mansions.”

Tyrese says he saw the clips but stayed silent. “I ain’t say nothing, I didn’t go at you, I didn’t respond. That’s not the true story, though.”
Tyrese then breaks down why he didn’t offer his home. He reminds McCall that both of their struggles were unfolding publicly, but his own situation carried massive stakes.
“I knew that everything about your stuff was playing out for the world to see, when I was in the middle of my own shit,” he says. “My baby mama shit trump yours by a thousand, trillion, times. And everything fucking movie and franchise imaginable if I don’t clean my shit.”
He argues that taking McCall in, amid accusations of domestic violence and a custody battle, risked amplifying the chaos. “So you think I’ma move a n***a with his own shit… into my shit and fuck my shit off? Ain’t going to happen.”
Still, Tyrese insists he didn’t leave McCall stranded. “I said, ‘Look cuz, whoever you know, call ’em.’”
He says he offered to cosign the request so someone else might provide shelter. But the line stayed firm. “There was no fucking way I was going to let you move into my crib.”
