*Tyrese is calling on Black fathers to help him push back against the “racist” judge in his divorce case.
The singer/actor posted a clip on Instagram on Saturday (April 22) in which he explained that he’ll be at Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta on Tuesday morning, Hip Hop DX reports. Tyrese invited media outlets to come and cover the hearing as he faces off with his ex-wife, Samantha Lee.
Tyrese also asked Black fathers, the Nation of Islam, and civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump to meet him outside the courthouse “for a prayer on behalf of the family law courts system that someway, somehow tends to lean in the favor of the other side.”
Tyrese claims the judge in the case, Kevin M. Farmer, is a “racist” who privately called his ex-wife a “bitch” during a conversation with the star’s attorney.

“Now listen, we ain’t together no more, we have our share of issues,” Tyrese said in the video. “But I have never referred to the mother of my child as a bitch. To hear this man — this white man — on the bench, wearing a black robe, who is supposed to represent the law, to refer to my ex-wife and the mother of my child as a bitch… why is he still on the stand?”
He also revealed his legal team’s unsuccessful attempts to have the judge removed from the case.
“We tried to get him recused, we tried to get him thrown off the bench because of his conduct and his unprofessionalism. And then there were a bunch of things pertaining to the outcome of my case that he did that was literally illegal,” he said.
“It takes a George Floyd to change the law,” he said. “It takes a Tyrese to be vocal and outspoken about real shit that’s going on in the criminal justice system along with the family law courts system.”
