He admitted that it eventually forced him to confront serious issues about his choices and health.Gibson began by acknowledging that the number of sexual partners he had over the years left him unsettled. He recalled how a conversation with a religious mentor challenged him to reflect on his behavior.“I believe my number is a little scary…I got to a point where a powerful man of God asked me a question. Without even coming at me, he just said, ‘Hey, Reese, let me ask you, man. How many more?’” Gibson said.The entertainer explained that the question didn’t make him defensive but instead confirmed his thoughts that he had been "doing too much, too often," in "too many cities, too many states, too many countries."As the discussion deepened, Gibson reflected on the motivations behind his past. He suggested that his unchecked behavior stemmed from addiction or unresolved emotional triggers.“You either a sex addict and you out here just trying to put your weewee in everything and you just losing your damn mind, or it’s coming from something…What’s triggering your sexual appetite? Why do you want to do so much with so many?” Tyrese Gibson explained.During the episode, Gibson further remarked how his realization came with the understanding that such a lifestyle wasn’t sustainable for him.He admitted that he once convinced himself the access he enjoyed as a celebrity “was going to be over soon". He noted that fame often shifted quickly, and while "one minute" he was "hot", the "next minute" it would not be the same for him.Ultimately, Gibson shared that he had already begun preparing himself to slow down and settle, recognizing the real dangers attached to his actions. He admitted that if he continued in the same direction, he feared it could cost him his life, saying that HIV and AIDS felt “inevitable” for someone living recklessly.In 2024, Gibson featured in the film 1992 and released his latest album, Beautiful Pain, showcasing his versatility as both an actor and musician.
