Tyrese is known for a lot of things; his music, positive tweeting, being a devoted father and of course his sexy looks. So, when he got kicked out of a radio station last week, it just didn’t make sense.

Who would kick Tyrese out of anywhere?

STORY: Tyrese Gets Kicked Off The Radio For Talking About Liquor Stores

Tyrese feels that liquor stores should not be placed near elementary schools. Plain and simple. He made a statement that he believed in and stood by it. So, why all the controversy?

We caught up with Tyrese and let him clear the air on the whole situation. Check out our exclusive!

I think there’s a reason why a lot of artists don’t speak on these things. Radio is very powerful and us as artists, our careers could literally get killed without the support from radio.

This dude kicked me out of the radio station and then he banned my music a couple of days later, and that’s his position. He’s saying ‘I’m not gonna put your music back on until you come up here and apologize’ but I’m never going to apologize. My position will never change. I just think me being a father for one, with a four-year-old beautiful daughter, these are things that people should address.

I went on there to talk about my album and the obvious stuff that most artists do [talk about] and I segwayed into something that I had just experienced, I had just went to an elementary school to speak to some kids and surprise them because they were doing really well academically and that’s when it all went down.

You need to go have a conversation about the liquor stores that’s right by your elementary schools, by your kids. The personalities that come with these liquor stores shouldn’t be that close to an elementary school. 

We love that Tyrese is standing strong with what he believes in. What do you think of this whole situation? Would you want a liquor store near your kid’s elemenatry school? Let us know!
