Tyrese Gibson is at his wits’ end.

Taking to Instagram, Gibson said he’s in dire straits because people have taken advantage of him.

“I want you to make a decision, I want you to take care of yourself,” Tyrese said in a since-deleted post. “And I want you to do something uncomfortable, which is put your face mask on first, before trying to help others. I know it’s uncomfortable, because the thought is, if the plane is going down… I gotta make sure everybody is okay. Everybody’s okay, right? I’m f**ked up, I have nothing, and I’ve taken care of everybody. Does anybody care to notice?”

Tyrese said that “bleeding [him] dry,” and that he believes “loyalty has an expiration date.”  He also noted that people need to get rid of the “dead weight” in their lives.

“Every boat has a capacity. Your life has a capacity, and most of us are continuing to function beyond the scope of capacity. We got nothing left for ourselves,” Tyrese continued. “I’m not saying be selfish in a negative way, I’m saying be selfish in the capacity of putting your face mask on first to make sure you’re okay first. Stop functioning from a place of giving people and giving people, more and more of what you don’t have.”

Tyrese’s post comes after he revealed that he feels  “liberated” after his divorce from ex-wife Samantha Gibson. The actor and singer alleged he “endured almost $50 million worth of public scrutiny, PR damage, and reputational attacks” because of the divorce. Tyrese announced plans to “bring in the Capricorn season with a luxurious birthday.” Also, New Year’s getaway in Turks and Caicos. 

“First stop: Turks and Caicos Birthday and New Year’s 2026!” he wrote. “Capricorn season! Birthday Dec 30th and a NYE 2026 birthday celebration LEGENDARY WHITE PARTY that will hit on NEW LEVELS.”
