Actor/singer Tyrese Gibson has made no secret of his hurt feelings toward his ex-wife Samantha Lee. Their divorce and custody battle has been a public mess. Most recently, the “Sweet Lady” singer appeared on “The Breakfast Club” to promote his new film “1992,” where he discussed the toll the split has taken on him, as he grieves the recent loss of several family members, including his mother and two sisters.
The R&B star is also teasing a new album titled “Beautiful Pain,” which is about the breakup of his marriage. On Wednesday, he took to social media to address reactions to his much scrutinized interview on the radio show.

“I ain’t releasing no album called ‘Beautiful Pain’ because I just felt like f***ing with my ex and singing all these songs about how I feel and how I’m feeling about what I lived and experienced cuz she left me out the blue,” he said on Instagram Live. “Y’all seen all the interviews, You know the only person that ain’t call me to say I’m sorry?”
In addition to expressing frustration with the drawn out legal process and his ex’s request for more money, Tyrese wondered why she hasn’t apologized to him in the four years they’ve been separated.
“I guess all these feelings that you caused don’t f***ing matter,” he added. “I’m not playing victim, I’m a grown ass man. I’m coming up on four years of posting, venting, talking, releasing songs and singles and ain’t nobody called me to say ‘I’m sorry.’”
Since this divorce has played out so publicly, Lee hopped on social media to respond to the “Fast & Furious” actor, reminding her followers not to live in the past.
“A lot of us be giving attention to people, places, and things that we are no longer at, meaning you’re still giving them a currency they can’t give back,” she said. “Because the more time that you decide to give somebody that you are not with, your intention, the longer you stay attached to a situation you’re trying to leave.”
“Don’t keep watching what your ex is doing, that’s a world of pain,” she continued. “I’m not watching what my past is doing. It’s my past. We leave that behind, ok? We move forward. My future is greater than my past.”
It’s sound advice. Perhaps they should both follow it.
