Their complicated history: Viral photo op went wrong
Although Tyrese's newest appeal to reconnect seemed sincere. This isn't the first time that one of his exchanges with Mary J. Blige has already gone viral. Back in January 2021, at Blige's 50th birthday celebration, which was a night full of music, and celebration.
During the private party, Tyrese Gibson, who was then going through a public divorce, arrived at his friend's birthday party. Things took a turn when he casually leaned down to touch Blige's thigh as they were posing for a photo.
Blige not trying to make it look weird, said:
"Ayyyy Ayyyy N*****!"
and shoved his hands away as they continued to pose for the photos. Blige was quick to react, and the clip went viral back then. Tyrese has not publicly addressed the viral clip.
The photo op incident on Blige's birthday was not long after Blige became viral on Instagram with pictures of herself at the beach in a golden wrap-around bikini. The singer, who had just turned fifty, received accolades for her self-assurance and stunning appearance.
Now, in 2025, Tyrese Gibson appears to be making a comeback, but this time with a request. Tyrese has insisted that whatever he has in store for Mary J. Blige is meaningful. As he mentioned on Instagram:
"I have something so so very special of all the years."
As of now, the Grammy-winning artist hasn't responded to Tyrese Gibson's message.
