TYRESE WANTS DEADBEAT DADS TO “MAN UP”
Singer/actor Tyrese has a few choice words for deadbeat dads and for women who “use their kids as weapons towards their fathers.” The Baby boy actor took to twitter to vent out his frustrations. He writes, “Fathers, even if you and the mother of your child are not on the same page, you still have to do your part! …We all can make babies, but it takes a man to raise them and do [his] part. I repeat, do your part.”
It appears that Tyrese had a friend in mind when he said, “I know what she says & does [hurts] you,[but] man up homey. You’ve heard worst.Your innocent child needs you….”
Tyrese later turned the conversation toward single mothers.
“To all single women that are doing the job of both mother and father, I love you and you are truly queens of our earth. A lot of women don’t know that they’re doing it, but they use their kids as weapons towards their fathers. This is just horrible. That’s who you decided to have that child with. It’s not the kids’ fault. Allow that man to be a father especially if he wants to be a father.”
Before ending his lecture, Tyrese thanked his ex-wife for being an amazing mother.

I agree with him 100%, I get so sick of these no good chicken heads trying to use a child to hurt the dad, my brother is going through the same thing he is an amazing father and does right by his daughter and his b***h of a baby momma is just upset that he didn’t want her crazy a** anymore so she tries to brain wash my niece, I can’t stand sorry a** women like that, and if you are one of the women like that you are sorry as heck and when your child grows up they will know it was your sorry behind that kept them from their father not the other way around, grow up or close you f*****g legs.

I agree with what you said, but as the sister of this man, remember there’s always three sides to a story: his, hers and the truth. You are only getting his side of what she’s doing. Just a note.

Is this the same Tyrese that was whining about support payments? or maybe I got my stories mixed up. If so, glad he is singing a different tune.
I read what he had to say, and much of it is good word. It is sad when either parents stoop to using the children as pawns. And most of these single moms getting it done–as its a job raising kids,wouldn’t have to be such warriors if more of the dads would indeed man-up–the kids can only stand to gain.
It takes two baby, to make a dream come true–goodness, I reached way back for that one. Could also easily apply–Wake up Everybody—R.I.P. Mr.Pendegrast.

Sorry Teddy Bear, I meant Mr. Pendergrass. Not of the generation of women you swooned once upon a day, but support your wonderful music and may it live on.

I am truly slow and confused. What’s his point?

He seems to be saying that black men are scared of black women, therefore they won’t fight for their kids which requires manning up.Women are often confused and need a mans guidance when it comes to raising a child. This stupid mentality of women raising the kids alone is dum and non effective unless you have no other choice. Otherwise let the man in and men if she won’t let you, hang in their and try to keep seeing your kid. This is hurting the black race majorily.

Well he does have a good point BUT it can be the other way around as well. There are men raising children on their own as well because the momma is no good. Just because you give birth or “donate” it doesnt mean you are a mother or father!And this is coming from a WOMAN.

Yea for Tyrese. I agree, men please man up and take care of your children. Women it would help too if you took ownership of your body. I know it is old fashion but I think it shouls be marriage andthen kids.
Oh well, I will just pray for everyone and this world.

I totally agree with Nikki. My husband has a child out of wedlock and he pays child support faithfully, also fought for visitation, but his ex refused to have him in the child’s life because he does not want to be with the mom romantically. So sick and twisted, right?
