Coming from a former model, these statements are a little insensitive, but Tyrese is opinionated and can’t be stopped. In an interview with AllHipHop.com, he discusses the current state of obesity in America and cites himself as an example. Check out the excerpt of his rant after the jump.
Excerpt from the interview:
“AHH: What kind of responsibility do you feel as an entertainer, you have to inspire people to live healthier lifestyles?
Tyrese: No two situations are the same. If you are fat and nasty and you don’t like the way you look, do something about it. It’s simple.
When you take a shower and you put your fat, nasty body in the shower and by the time you get out, the mirrors are all steamed up so you don’t look at what you did to yourself. That may sound offensive or insensitive but ultimately, you are big as hell because you have earned that sh*t. You worked your a** off to eat everything in sight to get big as hell.
If you got a problem with the way you look, then you need to do something about it. Excuses sound best to the people that’s making them up.”
Maybe part of the problem isn’t the people. Perhaps the government needs to stop letting chemicals and processed food enter our system and mess with our metabolism. There are so many other factors to the obesity problem than he may realize.
