Don't Mess With The National Anthem, Tyrese!
Filed under: Zportz > Z List
Tyrese Gibson left the rock he was hanging out under to sing the National Anthem for the Lakers game Wednesday night. He probably thought it would get him some postive media coverage.
He was wrong!
The Transformer actor decided to play word-play with the beloved pregame staple and fans were not very happy about it. Instead of singing the phrase "our flag was still there," he replaced the words with "our Lakers were still there." Whether they were Lakers fans or not, the change caused the audience to "boo" Tyrese through the rest of his performance.
Like any good celebrity, Tyrese took to his Twitter and told the world he felt sick today before promptly returning under his rock.

That was a bad thing to do, but it sounds like he is remorseful and now understands how inappropriate it was. People deserve to be understood when they make mistakes and I bet 200 dollars he probably really regrets it now.
Dumbass
SEE THIS IS WHY PEPO WHO CANT SING NEED TO STAY THE FUCK AWAY AND CRAWL UNDER A ROCK PERMANENTLY. WHAT A DOUCHE BAG.
The poor guy didn't realize he did a bad thing. Honesly I think it was uncalled for to boo him though. Its really not that big of a deal to me.
He's still a cutie
Wow–I had no idea Lakers fans were on the same jingoist level as Nascar fans.
Good to know.
Yes, it's our national anthem.
Yes, it should be treated with respect.
But, relax everybody .. in the grand scheme of things, pretty minor stuff!
Americans should worry about child abuse, racial profiling
and equal rights as much as they worry about changing 2 words in a song!!
a slight mistake. some audiences may have cheered. entertainers aren't the brightest, no big deal.
hate the ghetto yodel too.
OMG search YouTube for
"douchebag pie"
LMAO
I'm not sure where this came from. I was at the game last night, and people cheered when this happened, at least in the section I was in did. From where I was, I heard no booing of any kind at all.
My section cheered. I never heard any boos at all!
Re: CRABBY APPLETON – i've met plenty of ghetto as white people do don't even go there! and i've heard plenty of white ass trashy people fuck it up. it isn't about it being "his" song or "your" song. dude made a mistake, but don't sit there and act like you're some fucking superior american. suck a fat one.
What a TOOL.
Why did he think this would be a good idea? Has ANYone ever heard someone change the lyrics to our national anthem? No, it's always the same. Because it's a goddamn national anthem and you can't change the words. You can't! Tyrese is a grade A douchenozzle.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IS FUCKING LAME ANYWAYS!! IT HAS NO HISTORICAL VALUE FOR BLACK PEOPLE. WHITE PEOPLE ALWAYS LIKE TO BLOW SHIT OUT OF PROPORTION. AND THEY LOVE THE WORD"INAPROPRIATE" WHATS UP WITH THAT CRACKERS?
numbnuts!!!
I was at the game the people who boo'd were from wearing nuggets uniforms. DUHHHH!! Get it right Perez geez
One word was changed, no big deal. When Bush stopped funding for hospitals for veterans I didnt see this many people getting upset. A celebrity that changes one word and everyone gets mad. You need to stand up to bigger and more important things with our country than this.
In Kansas City and about every other NFL stadium, at the end of the anthem, "Home of the Brave" becomes "Home of the CHIEFS" and is screamed that way by 50,000 fans. Get over it people.
read a few comments and I have this to say, "historical value" for blacks? Dumb ass there is no "historical value" in that song for white people too typical black person useing the race card the national anthem isnt about race, get over yourself. And as far as many teams, profesional all the way down to highschool, many people scream out the teams mascot instead of brave at the end. I dont have an issue with that, its the fact that the person leading the crowd in singing the anthem changed the words around. Tyrese should never be asked to sing the anthem for the rest of his pathetic life. I dont care if a person cant sing the song in tune, but if your going to sing it, use the right words or get your sorry excuse out of this country. We need to bring back the pledge in schools too.
