Tyrese and DJ Envy have been at odds for a while, but their feud reached a new level of intensity after the singer’s recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. The two men exchanged heated words on air and social media, leaving fans wondering what caused their fallout and if they could ever reconcile. Here’s a breakdown of the beef and its origins.
The Breakfast Club Interview
On September 7, 2023, Tyrese joined The Breakfast Club for an interview, where he claimed he was on an “apology tour” and wanted to clear the air with DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God. However, things got heated when DJ Envy confronted Tyrese about some disrespectful comments he allegedly made to his wife in the past. Tyrese denied the accusations and said he was only trying to help their marriage by sending them positive messages.
DJ Envy also expressed his disappointment in Tyrese for not reaching out to him during his divorce from ex-wife Samantha Lee and his public mental health issues. Tyrese said he felt that Envy did not support him during his dark times and accused him of being fake. DJ Envy stated he wanted to remember Tyrese as a brother who helped his relationship, not as someone going through it. He also said that some of Tyrese's words deserved him to "box his mouth."
Tyrese Takes To Social Media
After the interview, Tyrese took to Instagram to post a series of videos, where he defended himself and called out DJ Envy for lying and threatening him. He said he had receipts to prove that he never disrespected DJ Envy's wife and that he was always respectful and supportive of their marriage. He also said he was ready for “all the smoke” with DJ Envy and challenged him to a fight. Tyrese also accused Envy of being jealous of him and his success. He said that Envy was insecure about his own marriage and that he was projecting his issues onto him. He also mentioned that the radio host was just trying to go viral by creating drama with him.
Tyrese Throws The Peace Flag
On September 17, 2023, Tyrese changed his tone and posted an Instagram Live video, where he waved a white flag and said he wanted peace with DJ Envy. He said he was taking the higher road and did not want any problems. He also said he respected Charlamagne tha God more than DJ Envy, but he was willing to bury the hatchet with both of them. Further, Tyrese said he was going through a lot of things when he was having his mental health issues and that he was trying to navigate through them. He said he wanted to clear his name and did not mean any harm. He also hoped that DJ Envy would accept his apology and move on.
As of now, it is unclear if DJ Envy has responded to Tyrese’s peace offer or if they have resolved their beef. The two men have a history of friendship and collaboration, but they also have a history of conflict and misunderstanding. Hopefully, they can find a way to mend their relationship and move forward with respect and love.
