'Tyrese Gibson, known for his role as Roman Pearce in the award winning film series is one of the most respected black actors in the global entertainment scene.

He knows very well that he should be bragging and booking dates with all the ladies following the success of Fast & Furious 7 at the Box Office. In the US alone, it raked over $147 million in its opening weekend, breaking records previously set.

The actor has said that if you let fame validate you, then you're lost. If you let people determine if you're cool or not, relevant or irrelevant, if you love yourself or you don't then you've lost life's compass direction. He said this in an Instagram post yesterday. It got over 58K likes.

With the local young people looking up to socialites (and not naming any expected influencer when they're asked to talk about the people they look up to), it is apparent that literally almost everyone would do anything to be famous. To be talked about. This is what the Grammy Award winning R&B singer had to say:

"Mature people... Let's discuss openly.... Fame is one of the biggest unspoken addictions - over the years I've learned and discovered that people will do damn near anything to get it..... Validation is a man's and woman's silent killer..... The mind state of most famous people I know.... If you ain't checkin for me, I ain't checkin for me.. If you don't love me, I don't love me... If you don't see the "Value" in me, I will no longer see the value in myself.... If you think I'm irrelevant, Im irrelevant... When you love yourself deep within.... When you fall in love with Jesus and you're completely submerged in Christ your heart and soul is fulfilled independent of WHATS in your bank account and where you are on the charts... I am apart of the biggest movie in the world and beyond being excited and honored to be apart of this #FastFamily I still see and view myself the same.... Believe it or not.... In my mind Im just warming up there's sooooooo much more to do and sooooooo much more to accomplish..... Boldly walk into the unfamiliar, climb invisible stairs and learn to DREAM with your EYES OPEN.... And more importantly even if others don't understand of support you... Be obedient to all God given assignments and visions MOVE on them and you will receive HUGE life changing blessings and reward on the other side of obedience.... Trust me I know..... #AmenGoodMorningAngelHearts"
