Tyrese's girlfriend apparently demanded he cancel his new album.

Tyrese has revealed that his fiancée, Zelie Timothy, broke up with him over some "dumb sh*t." Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the singer explained that Timothy demanded he cancel his new album, Beautiful Pain, because he sings about his ex-wife on the project. “My lawyers, my managers — everybody’s pissed,” he told viewers. “I just released my double album today, but it’s only available for ten hours.”

In the caption, he explained: “… My superbowl plans are f****d.. power outage in my neighborhood so I’m going at em,” he wrote. “And me and Zelie just broke up over some dumb s**t… Remember this.. She demanded that I cancel my ALBUM because there’s too many songs about my ex on there.. f**k does that even mean?”
