Tyrese has countered recent accusations about his integrity in the entertainment business with one of the funniest responses ever. In addition to clarifying the circumstances around the casting of Baby Boy, the singer/actor advises his detractors to look up the word ‘ether’ while he walks around his home showing off his material accomplishments.
