Famed singer and actor Tyrese has been in the streets promoting his new movie — and that includes a trip to see some HBCU football. The Fast and Furious star found his way to Atlanta, Georgia for the MEAC/SWAC Challenge football game between FAMU and Norfolk State University in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday.
Tyrese posted a video on Instagram of him watching the Florida A&M Marching 100 march past him into Center Parc Stadium before the game. He sat in his car, admiring the band as they moved past him.
“They don’t even know I’m right here. They’re the stars,” Tyrese remarked into the camera. “They’re in college. They’re breaking generational curses in their families. They are the stars.
“FAMU – I’m so inspired right now.”
He found his way into the stadium and on the field a few hours later, waving to the 22,000-plus fans in the stadium. When he walked to the sidelines he was greeted by members of the Norfolk State Spartan Legion Band, who put on an impromptu performance with him prior to taking the field for halftime. Tyrese briefly joined in while filming from his phone.
In addition to his new movie “1992,” he’s also releasing a new album. It is called “Beautiful Pain.”
