Insiders told TMZ the couple "did not give Tyrese any money at all", but the pair is said to be worried about his mental state.
Tyrese posted on Instagram last Sunday,"You've guys asked me to get off and stay off the Internet now that my daughter's legal fees will be paid. I will listen."
"My wife kept the news away from me cause I’ve been on with lawyers all day but our family and our sister Jada-Pinkett Smith and my brother Will Smith just sent us 5 million dollars to help keep us afloat- You’ve guys asked me to get off and stay off the Internet now that my daughters legal fees will be paid ! will listen.....

The 38-year-old rapper and actor has been engaged in a bitter courtroom feud with ex-wife Norma Mitchell Gibson over their 10-year-old daughter Shayla. Tyrese's ex-wife Norma Gibson previously accused him of child abuse, saying he spanked their only child on multiple occasions.
Just recently, Tyrese made a very emotional online video, claiming his ex-wife, Norma Lee Gibson, placed a restraining order on him, preventing him from seeing his 10-year-old daughter, Shayla – who he hasn’t seen for two months.

Tyrese is claiming his ex is being vindictive against him due to the fact he has remarried. He also voiced his disappointment in video over the alleged lack of support from some of his well-heeled 'millionaire' and billionaire' friends asking, 'I've been there for you, why aren't you there for me?'

Tyrese says during his emotional post:
They’re not able to tell the difference between the good ones and the bad ones, between the criminals and the men of God.
The Muslims, the Jews, the Christians, the men that wake up every day… to focus on one thing.
However, with the new revelation Will and Jada did in fact, not give the money, it only poses more questions.
