Tyrese Gibson recently sued Home Depot for alleged racial discrimination at one of their stores, and Nick Cannon had some things to say about the viral lawsuit.
The “Fast and Furious” franchise star’s clash with the retail company sparked a heated debate online. Fans seem divided, with some supporting the entertainer’s legal fight and others fed up with his willingness to settle matters in court.
The famous baby maker seems to be in the latter group as he jokingly poked fun at the actor’s dilemma on his radio show, The Daily Cannon. While addressing the issue, the multi-hyphenate star and her co-host argued if the 44-year-old had been a victim of racial profiling.
Nick Cannon & Pals Make Fun of Tyrese Gibson’s $1 Million Lawsuit Against Home Depot
During the latest episode of The Daily Cannon, the “Drumline” star and her co-hosts, Abby De La Rosa, Courtney Bee, and Mason Moussette, weighed in on the Hollywood sensation.
As seen in a clip shared on the radio program’s Instagram page, the discussion began when baby mama Cannon read an article about Gibson allegedly being “all torn up inside” regarding his $1 million lawsuit against Home Depot.
De La Rosa barely made it through the sentence before choking up with laughter along with her co-host. Bee called the Los Angeles native’s fight with the grocery company “pretty wild,” to which Cannon asked if they had seen the video of the TV personality’s encounter with the company’s staff.
Looking back on the incident, Bee said she didn’t think the female employee had racially profiled the “Baby Boy” star. De La Rosa supports the theory: “I just think he needs ID for the card he’s using.”
Reenacting Gibson’s response to the ID question, Moussette and Bee said: “He was like, ‘Do you know who I am?’ He’s like ‘Did you see Fast & Furious?’” They found the woman behind the counter unimpressed by the entertainer’s words, with Bee pointing out that Home Depot employees just wanted to take “their little check and go home.”
Jumping in to add his input, Cannon wondered why Gibson was so eager to get back on the court following his recent legal stint. The “Sweet Lady” singer is embroiled in a child support battle with his ex-wife Samantha Lee.
“Didn’t he just come out of court? Aren’t you tired of going to court?” The Nickelodeon alum quipped, getting support from her baby mama, who shared the same thoughts. De La Rosa advised Gibson to return to music, prompting Bee to tease the 44-year-old with the lyrics to his 2022 song “How You Gonna Act Like That.”

Returning to the article he read at the start of the clip, De La Rosa added: “Tyrese said he’s thinking about taking his business to Lowe’s.” Hearing the funny words, Cannon concludes the video: “When they’re down, we go to Lowe’s.”

The TV personality and two acquaintances filed a $1 million lawsuit against Home Depot on Wednesday, August 9. Each of the other plaintiffs, Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez, are described as fellow entertainers who “constantly provided construction services to Gibson.”
In February, the trio claimed they “experienced outrageous discrimination and racial profiling of consumers” at the West Hills, Calif., store. the retail company. They want $1 million in damages, which they claim reflects the amount the actor spent at the establishment over his lifetime.
Additionally, they sought a “declaratory judgment” stating that Home Depot’s actions violated California’s Unruh Civil Rights Act. As for the home improvement company’s alleged wrongdoing against the men, the lawsuit says the trio visited the corporation’s West Hills location on February 11 for a quick transaction.

The lawsuit alleges: “The cashier gave no reasonable explanation other than repeating ‘store policy’ and demanding to see a form of identification. The manager refused to speak to Gibson personally.”
According to the filing, the issue occurred because the store employee “deliberately interfered and refused to process the transaction based on their unfounded suspicions of Gibson, Mora, and Hernandez arising from the color of their skin, and in the case of Mora and Hernandez, their national origin. “
