The ‘Fast & Furious actor and award-winning artist shared that he “broke down” for almost 45 minutes after reading the message.

Actor Tyrese Gibson has received a comforting text message from R.Kelly to help lift him up after the recent death of his mother.

According to Complex, the Fast & Furious actor and award-winning artist shared the message on his Instagram, which he received from the disgraced and incarcerated R&B singer.

“[…] Hey Lil Bro,” the message read. “My Condolences To You About Mom… She Is In A Better Place With My Mom & They Both Smiling Down On Us.. I Pray For You & Keep It Going On Love. I know it a lot having to deal with this in the limelight but keep ya head up ~Rob~.”

Gibson shared that he “broke down” for almost 45 minutes after reading the message.

“Selfishly I wish they could sneak a protools rig and a mic in your jail cell so that you can unload all of those ideas,” he wrote in his IG caption, “’cause I know you don’t write, all of your hits have been freestyled off the top…… But that’s just me.”

According to reports, Gibson’s mother, Priscilla Murray, died last month after a weeks-long battle with pneumonia and COVID-19.

“My sweet Valentine just passed away,” Gibson captioned a separate IG post in part. “May the lord Jesus Christ and his angels open the doors of heavens and embrace her.”
