In 2017, Tyrese purchased a house for his mother in celebration of her 11th year of sobriety. Tyrese claims his mother’s alcoholism “killed” his childhood.

Tyrese posted a video of himself outside of the new house at the time and wrote in the caption, “If there’s an award in heaven for forgiveness, having compassion towards those who have broke your heart and let you down over and over and over again…I hope God doesn’t skip over me.”

In 2000, Gibson and his mother made an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in honor of Mother’s Day to reflect on their tough upbringing in Watts, Calif.
