Tyrese Gibson recently confronted Kevin McCall in person after the singer-songwriter made comments about him during an October episode of the BaccOnFig.
During the episode, the "Deuces" co-artist called Gibson a “buster” for not letting him move in during a period of homelessness.
"I was getting into with all my homeboys, everybody in the hood 'cause I'm famous but I'm broke, so I'm living on my granny couch," McCall said around the 38-minute mark of the video below.
The vocalist went on to say that Gibson had a “big-ass house,” and while the two were in communication, McCall thought the singer-actor would invite him to move in. But that invitation never came. Instead, Gibson offered to vouch for McCall if he spoke to someone else who might be able to help.
McCall brushed off Gibson’s suggestion as “weirdo shit,” which the Transformers star addressed during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony over the weekend.
In the clip below, Gibson urged McCall to "tell people the real story" before delving into his side of the matter. "We real Watts n***as," Gibson said. "We don't play the viral shit."
"I don't know how much you wanna decide to remember, but that was cool," Gibson continued. "All that viral shit, imitating my voice, telling n***as that I left you to the streets when you was homeless and fucked up, call me and asked me to look out, [saying] I got multiple mansions...I heard the whole thing."
Gibson added that while he didn't respond online, what McCall said wasn't "the true story." "The truth is I knew that everything about your stuff was playing out for the world to see, but I was in the middle of my own shit, n***a."
"My baby mama's shit, n***a trumps yours by a thousand times," continued Gibson, who divorced his second wife, Samantha Lee, in 2020. "...So you think I'm about to move a n***a in when his own baby [mama] accuses him of domestic violence, fighting for his own daughter?"
"I'm about to move a n***a like you into my shit and fuck my shit up? It ain't gon' happen. So I said 'Look 'cuz, whoever you know, call 'em. And if they not fucking with you, they might end up fucking with you if I'm on the phone to at least stamp it," Gibson clarified. "And say, 'Look cuz, my n***a might be going through some shit, but you do know the n***a. And if you got a room or somewhere he can crash out, let the n***a crash out."
The conversation appears to have cleared the air, as the two men were all smiles for photographers once the matter was addressed.
During that same BaccOnFigg interview, McCall also tearfully claimed that his former collaborator, Chris Brown, owed him $25,000 despite their fallout. In the clip below, Gibson urged McCall to “tell people the real story” before delving into his own side of the matter.
“We real Watts n***as,” Gibson said. “We don’t play the viral shit.”
