Tyrese made an emotional plea to reconnect with Mary J. Blige after she declined his song, but social media wasn’t feeling his persistence.
Tyrese aired his frustration and heartache over a failed collaboration with Mary J. Blige in a video that quickly caught fire online, pleading with the public to help him connect with the R&B legend after she turned down not one but two songs he crafted specifically for her.
“I tried my best to get Mary J Blige on both songs. “She passed on it. It’s okay. I feel a way about it,” the singer-actor said in the clip, his voice heavy with disappointment.
“I’m really hurt. I can’t lie,” he continued, explaining that his pain wasn’t just about the rejection, but the effort he poured into the music. “Like a mad scientist, I went into the studio, and when I tell you, I customized this song, I made this m########### tailor-made for Mary.”
Despite the rejection, Tyrese still praised Blige as “one of a kind” but made it clear he was let down.
“I’m disappointed that you didn’t do my song,” he added. “But we got so much equity over all these years, I ain’t gonna hold that to you.”
He then turned to the public for help, asking, “Y’all can get this message to Mary?”
But the internet wasn’t having it.
Several users pushed back, accusing Tyrese of crossing a line. “Tyrese Please Go and Take a Nap. Like Seriously Where are Your friends? Come Get Him,” one commenter wrote.
Another added, “Get what message to Mary J? Didn’t she tell you ‘no’? Now this is starting to become harassment.”
Others pointed out that this wasn’t the first time Tyrese had publicly tried to get Blige’s attention.
In a previous social media post, he wrote, “Can someone please help me to get a hold and reach Mary J. Blige?”
Calling her his “Capricorn queen,” he said he had been trying to reach her for “two weeks” and didn’t have her current contact info. “I have something so very special for us,” he wrote, adding, “Of all the years I’ve been knowing you, I’ve never hit you like this.”
While Tyrese’s admiration for Blige is clear, many online believe it’s time for him to take the hint and move on.
