Tyrese Gibson reveals why he wears fake jewellery
Tyrese Gibson, the US actor and singer, has revealed that he only wears fake jewellery.
In a recent interview with Breakfast Club Power 105.1FM, Tyrese discussed his preference for fake bracelets and wristwatches despite being a rich celebrity.
When asked by co-host Charlamagne if his earrings were real, Tyrese replied with a simple, “No”.
The ‘Fast and Furious’ star revealed that he once squandered a fortune on luxury items, only to lose them or have them stolen.
The 45-year-old actor also emphasized that misplacing expensive items led to undue stress. He shared a personal anecdote about losing earrings valued at $250,000, highlighting the financial and emotional toll of his carelessness.
“If it all ends for me tomorrow, I never sold you on fake. None of this jewellery on me is real. Do not love me because of no diamonds. This bracelet looks real but it is $23 on Amazon. Nothing. Hear me out. It does not look fake right? The reality is reality. This sh*t is cunning. It is all fake. It is all superficial. It is nothing,” he said.
“You know why it is not real? Because I have lost so much of this shit. I done spent half a million dollars on a fucking watch. Call Jacob The Jeweler, ni**a. Call all of them. All the most famous, popular jewelers online, they all got my black Centurion (American Express card). That thing goes through. I am good.
“I do not lose no sleep over trying to win the popularity contest showing up with all this jewelry that I am going to leave on the nightstand and have a housekeeper that says, ‘I don’t know!’ (laughs). I am sure you do not know where $250,000 earrings is at! I am sure you do not know. That motherf*cker would retire two weeks later.
“I have never tried to win a popularity contest. And if I did, I have the contact of every celebrity, director, actor, rapper, you name it, they are all on my phone. I could be as hot as I wanna be.”

Wofai Fada expecting first child — weeks after civil wedding
Wofai Fada, the Nigerian actress and comedian, and Taiwo Cole, her husband, are expecting their first child together.
The excited mother-to-be took to her Instagram page on Wednesday to share photos from her maternity shoot on Instagram, proudly displaying her baby bump.
In the accompanying caption, the actress wrote, “Caution, baby bump ahead. And baby makes it three”.
Colleagues and friends have taken to the post’s comment section to congratulate the actress.
The announcement comes a few weeks after the lovebirds held their legal wedding ceremony. Wofai and Taiwo’s union is surrounded by controversy.
In May, videos from their traditional wedding in Calabar, Cross River, began circulating online.
Shortly after, Taiwo’s family released a public disclaimer, distancing themselves from the union.
“This serves to notify all acquaintances, family, and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island Lagos are not aware of any marriage ceremony of our Son Taiwo Olakitan Cole, neither did we grant permission nor support in this regard,” the statement read.
Despite the family’s stance, Wofai and Taiwo continued to share photos from their wedding ceremonies on social media.
Wofai, who gained popularity for her comedic skits on Instagram, has solidified her name in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
The actress has appeared in several films, including ‘Oloture’, ‘The Wedding Party 2’, ‘Blood Sisters’, and ‘New Money’.

I was raped by my nanny at 10 | started visiting brothels at 12, says Charly Boy
Charly Boy, the ace Nigerian singer, has opened up about his childhood sexual abuse.
In a recent episode of the Duke Rants podcast, the ‘Odudubariba’ hitmaker disclosed that he was raped at the age of 10 by his nanny.
The 70-year-old activist said due to his innocence and lack of understanding, he didn’t recognise it as abuse and instead felt pleasure.
Charly Boy said the rape incident marked the beginning of his early introduction to sex. He added that by age 12, he was already sexually active, contracted gonorrhea, and frequented brothels.
“I was about 17 years old when I had my first child, even at 12 I was sexually active. If we want to take it back a little bit, when I was 10, I didn’t know what it was all about; I was raped by my nanny and the day my mother found out, she was angry.I did not feel raped at that age,” he said.
“I actually enjoyed it because I didn’t know what was going on, but it felt good. My mother drove her away and that was where it ended. At 12 I had already contracted gonorrhoea and was going to the brothels around. I was really introduced to sex by one of my crazy cousins. When I was 15 or 16 and two families came to the house with their daughters.
“My father called me. There’s a way that my father calls me and then I know there’s trouble, so when he called me in that manner I went. He then asked me if I knew the girls and I said yeah even though I knew where the conversation was going. So I told him that all the boys on my team knew them all. He said one of the girls was pregnant and I denied it.”
