What was your relationship like with your Baby Boy costar Snoop?
We was cool before the movie. It’s Snoop, you know? Being around Snoop is always fun.
Did you ever smoke up with him?
Nah, I don’t smoke or drink. But I’ve indirectly smoked with Snoop because when you hang around him, you somehow end up being high and you don’t even know it. You’re just having a conversation with Snoop, and you’re just like, “Man, I think I’m as high as you are.” [Laughs.]
You’re currently working on a comic book called Mayhem. What is it going to be about?
Mayhem is a comic book character we created and developed. It’s coming out July 1, and it’s gonna be huge. To all the comic book fans out there, I am so excited about this world, and I want y’all to know I’m doing all my research.

Why is the comic book world so important to you?
I went to Comic-Con last year when I was promoting Death Race, and something about all that energy was so intense. I was like, “Yo, I have to jump in this world.” But we wanted to lay the groundwork. Naturally Mayhem will become a film, but right now we’re focusing on creating a quality comic book that fans will appreciate. I’ve wrapped my head around this world, and I’m really excited.
So when Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens, will you see it in the theater?
Absolutely. I do that all the time. That way you get the real reactions. You get to see what’s really funny, what worked and what didn’t work. I love that shit. I let the movie start and then I sneak in and hang out in the back of the theater, and then I walk out right before it ends.
Have you ever been recognized doing that?
Yeah, a few times. Sometimes I need to put on my Jamaican wig real quick. They’re like, “You look like Tyrese!” [Adopts a Jamaican accent:] “What are you talking about, mon. There’s no Tyrese right here. There’s no Tyrese.”
You can’t be serious.
[Laughs.] No, I’m just fucking with you.
