Tyrese has revealed that he was hurt by Mary J. Blige after she declined his offer to collaborate.
In his latest emotional video posted to social media, the singer and actor explained how Blige passed on working with him.
He said: “I tried my best to get Mary J. Blige on both songs. She passed on it. It’s okay. I feel a way about it. I’m hurt. I’m hurt. I’m really hurt, I can’t lie. But she passed on it.”
Tyrese added: “I wasn’t hurt that Mary passed on the song as if she didn’t have the choice because she does. She’s a fucking legend. She’s my sister. I love her. I was more so hurt about her passing on the song because like a mad scientist I went into the studio, and when I tell you I customized this song, I made this motherfucker tailor-made for Mary.”
Tyrese then addressed Blige directly: “I don’t even think you understand how much I love you. You are just so one of a kind. You are one of one of one. Your heart, your soul, your compassion, your empathy towards everyone. You take care of everybody around you, loyal to a default at times. You’re amazing. I love you. I’m disappointed you didn’t do my song but that’s so much equity over all these years, I ain’t gon’ hold that to you.”
Earlier this year, the Fast & Furious star made public his desperate efforts to get a hold of Blige for a potential collaboration.
He wrote on social media: “Can someone help me try and get a hold and reach Mary J. Blige? I’ve been trying to reach her for two weeks. I don’t have a current cell number, email, nothing on her. I really didn’t want to post this but I’m really trying to reach my Capricorn queen Mary J. Blige. I have something so important that I need to get to her. Could someone please help me track her down her cell her email her manager anyone that’s connected to Mary J. Blige I’m trying to reach her please please please thank you so much.”
