TYRESE PUSHING FOR A RAP CAREER - FORMS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY

Those gangsta movie roles must’ve really gotten to Tyrese because he’s planning on building a career in Hip Hop as “Black Ty”…

Actor/singer Tyrese Gibson has announced the formation of Headquarter Entertainment and HQ Pictures, a full service entertainment company that will help push Gibson’s new rap career as Black Ty.

Gibson is currently working on a new double album titled Alter Ego, due via J Records.

One album is devoted to R&B songs, while the other features Gibson’s rap persona, Black Ty. SOURCE

Lets see how this plays out. I personally liked the r&b singing Tyrese but after his first album…I lost a lil interest.

SOLANGE KNOWLES’ HUSBAND DANIEL SMITH GETS DRAFTED TO THE NFL

The 23 yr. old wide-receiver was signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by Carolina earlier this month. He signed a three-year deal with the team and received a 5,000 signing bonus.

Daniel played Division I football at the University of Idaho. He married Solange in February of 2004 before the birth of their son, Daniel Jr. in October of 2004. Athletes also run through his family, his half bother is NBA player Cuttino Mobley (LA Clippers).

He seems to be a really low-key and humble dude tho. When asked if he his team mates know about his star-studded family:

“No, nobody knows about that kind of stuff, I don’t go around bragging,” he said with a laugh. “I’m just here to play football and do the best I can.” SOURCE
