    In a recent clip, while grooving to Ginuwine’s classic, Tyrese, sporting a Death Row Records jacket, declared that he would have absolutely crushed it. “This what [happens] when chocolate does ‘Pony’ This is the way Ginuwine shoulda did it,” he stated.

    He elaborated, saying, “If I was around and Timbaland had pressed play on me with that song ‘Pony,’ I woulda definitely, definitely did way better on the song and the video than Ginuwine.” Tyrese even boasted about his dancing skills, adding, “Dancing is my s–t. I stopped dancing, I was like, ‘Imma gon let ’em have it. Imma gon let ’em have that.’”

    A Friendly Rivalry?
