One thing you can always count on Tyrese to do is “too much.”
The R&B singer and actor performed the National Anthem at the Rams versus Cowboys game on Sunday (August 11) and offered a cringey impersonation of Marvin Gaye.
Tyrese, who is old enough to know better, sported a wig, a knitted hat, a faux beard, and 70s wardrobe as he made a fool of himself in front of thousands of football fans.
