Renowned American actor and musician Tyrese Gibson has expressed his inclination towards imitation bracelets and wristwatches, despite his status as a wealthy celebrity.

In a recent discussion on Breakfast Club Power 105.1FM, Tyrese revealed that he exclusively adorns himself with faux jewelry.

When co-host Charlamagne inquired whether his earrings were authentic, Tyrese candidly responded, “No.” The star of the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise recounted a time when he had wasted a significant amount of money on luxury goods, only to either misplace them or have them stolen.

The 45-year-old actor further noted that the loss of high-value items resulted in unnecessary stress. He recounted a personal experience of misplacing earrings worth $250,000, underscoring the financial and emotional repercussions of his negligence.

“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 motherfcker 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.”
