Tyrese Responds to Kanye West’s Provocative Post with Beachside Video of Girlfriend Zelie Timothy

Tyrese has entered the social media spotlight by attempting to one-up Kanye West’s explicit photos of his wife, Bianca Censori. Over the weekend, the singer and actor shared a racy video of his girlfriend, Zelie Timothy, lounging in a skimpy bikini on the beach and enjoying the sea.

This response seems to be directed at Kanye’s earlier Instagram post featuring Censori in a revealing thong swimsuit in the kitchen, with her derrière prominently displayed. In contrast, Tyrese’s caption reads, “Dear Kanye… All wheat, hold the cream,” taking a playful jab at the Chicago rap icon for marrying a white woman while he is in a relationship with a Black woman.

In addition to the caption, Tyrese expressed affection for Zelie, writing, “All love………. Just loving on my carmel chocolate.”

However, similar to Kanye West, Tyrese faced criticism for his post. Some commenters disapproved of showcasing his partner for the world to see, with one stating, “Showing off your woman like a prize horse for the world to see? I don’t agree.” Another commented, “This should not be posted for the world to see. Very beautiful but for you. Stop welcoming other men to see what you have. Protect her and cover her. Your woman is for you, not for everybody.”

Tyrese and Zelie Timothy have been dating since 2021, meeting on social media. The 28-year-old model gained attention when she revealed a preference for Tyrese’s late Fast & Furious co-star, Paul Walker. In an Instagram Live last year, she mentioned, “My type was actually Paul Walker. Rest in peace. But [Tyrese] wasn’t my type at all. And my type is not ‘white.’ I’m just saying I was more interested in Paul.”

Tyrese addressed the candid revelation on the stream, playfully saying, “So you wanted the homie; you didn’t want me. You said I’m old.” The couple seemingly moved past the awkward moment, with Tyrese gifting Timothy a Range Rover for her birthday and expressing his love and appreciation in a heartfelt message.
