Alabamians who are Tyrese fans know that he has been open about his marriage and now divorce from Samantha Lee, mental health, and life in general. Recently, he told an interesting story about living in poverty with his mother, Priscilla Gibson, in terms of survival.

On August 30, 2024, Tyrese went on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game Podcast and revealed that as a child, his mother forced him and his siblings to act as if they had a learning disability to get a government check from the Social Security Administration monthly. He claims this was his first official acting gi

During the interview and with a laugh Tyrese said, "My mama made us go to Social Security building and play r-tarded. Straight up, government cheese."

Tyrese said his mother coached him before his initial disability appointment by telling him to delay answering any questions asked to him, even though he was smart.

"I’m like 8 years old and she said, ‘This what we gon do. She said, ‘We gotta go into this county building and if y’all end up doing this, we gonna get $760 a month. And your mama could use this, I’m here, we in the hood, I’m working and trying to keep up. This for y’all. You got your two sisters, your brother.'”

During his disability assessment, Tyrese claims the examiner presented him with a puzzle depicting a human body for completion. To fulfill his mother's wish, Tyrese carefully positioned the piece representing a leg alongside the piece representing the head.

Tyrese then said he was approved for benefits while laughing.
