Tyrese is speaking out after receiving backlash from Joe Budden following an emotional appearance on The Breakfast Club.
This unexpected feud stems from Tyrese’s heartfelt moments during the interview, which did not sit well with Budden.
Emotional Breakfast Club Interview
In late August, Tyrese opened up during his time on The Breakfast Club, sharing raw and vulnerable emotions, even shedding tears at one point.
He confessed, ‘I’m doing the best I can with every 24 hours I get,’ and proudly stated, ‘Black men cry.’
Joe Budden’s Reaction
Budden quickly responded on his podcast, labeling Tyrese as ‘bitter,’ suggesting that his ongoing divorce was the cause of his emotional state.
Tyrese, however, strongly disagreed with Budden’s take and took to Instagram Live to voice his frustrations.
Tyrese’s Instagram Live Response
Tyrese questioned Budden’s motives, asking why he was catching ‘strays’ whenever he was involved with The Breakfast Club.
He expressed his confusion, saying, ‘Joe, I actually know you and Melyssa Ford. I’ve done too many turn-ups with Joe Budden.’
Tyrese also mentioned how Budden had criticized his spiritual comments, something he didn’t appreciate at all.
Defending His Emotions
Tyrese defended his emotional display, stating, ‘You’ll never be able to convince me that I’m bitter.’
He emphasized that his experiences, especially regarding marriage and divorce, were unique and difficult to understand unless one had gone through them.
Accusations and Frustrations
Tyrese went further, accusing Budden of criticizing him publicly while staying silent in private.
He also addressed Budden’s remarks about his girlfriend, noting that he would have already married her if it weren’t for his prolonged divorce process.
Clash With QueenzFlip
Tyrese’s issues didn’t stop with Budden; he also had a conflict with QueenzFlip, one of Budden’s co-hosts.
Last fall, Tyrese felt disrespected by Flip, who had made jokes about his divorce.
Tyrese called out Flip by name on Instagram, accusing him of dodging his calls while talking behind his back.
Public Confrontation
‘I got n-ggas hitting my phone,’ Tyrese said, ‘they’ve been coming at me, disrespecting me.’
He was frustrated that people involved in Budden’s podcast were publicly mocking his personal struggles.
Despite his efforts to reach out directly, Tyrese claimed that Flip continued to avoid his calls and texts.
Response From QueenzFlip
QueenzFlip responded with a video, telling Tyrese to ‘keep my name out ya mouth.’
He claimed that Tyrese’s accusations were outdated and irrelevant, adding, ‘get a hobby, bro.’
This public feud between Tyrese and Joe Budden underscores the tension that can arise from mixing personal issues with public commentary.
While Tyrese defends his right to express his emotions, Budden and his team’s reactions highlight the differing perspectives on vulnerability and public personas.
