Tyrese's handling of the TGT split led to a heated Twitter exchange between him and Ginuwine. Here was Tyrese's caption:

"You reach out your hand....... Build people UP.... Put people ON.... Expose them to your blessed life and lifestyle..... They talk shit, year you down and spread your business to make themselves look BIGGER and more important that what they really are...... They get so consumed in YOUR life they start thinking they are YOU..... Ahahahahahaaaaa.... You cut them off and they fizzle away..... It's happened too many times for me NOT to speak on it... This is NOT just a celebrity thing... It's called LIFE...... I hate to break the news to you..:. But there's only one man named TYRESE GIBSON....... A real child of God who refuse to put up with anybody's BS!!!"
