The singer was detained over unpaid child support — upwards of $73,000 to be precise — for his 5-year-old daughter with ex-wife Samantha Lee. However, an hour later, Byron reported that the father of two “miraculously found the money” and was “arranging for it to be paid.” Byron joked, “He will likely be home for dinner.”

TMZ corroborated the report, noting that Tyrese was initially set to pay Lee $10,000 monthly starting in April 2023. So, this arrest was made because he held in contempt of court.

Ahead of the arrest and court proceedings, Tyrese posted a series of photos of his two daughters, Shayla and Soraya.

“The love that a father can have for his children can’t quite be explained……. Whatever the outcome is today…… I am and will forever be their FATHER,” the Beautiful Pain crooner captioned.

Tyrese also revealed that he might be arrested, claiming that Lee’s legal team — Adam Gleklen and William Alexander — were “besties” with Judge Kevin M. Farmer , who’s presiding over his case.

“All of these names are very public knowledge because they are all very public judges and lawyers [who] demanded that I come to court and cancel my press and media for my ‘ 1992 ‘ movie and my new ‘ Beautiful Pain ‘ album interviews,” the singer wrote in a since-deleted post .

He noted that he’d be appealing all of Judge Farmer’s rulings because he’s tried to get him “thrown off the bench twice.” This is also the judge who handled Tyrese’s divorce from Lee and in those proceedings, the singer accused Farmer of “collusion.”
