Will Smith, Kanye ‘Ye’ West, and Tyrese Gibson Used as Examples While Adrien Broner Makes His Case for Why Men Don’t Open Up About Their Mental Health

In a world where fame, success, and societal expectations often loom large over men, in particular, their mental health has become an irrelevant topic. Highlighting a similar sentiment, Adrien Broner, a renowned boxer, turned to Instagram, sharing the examples of Will Smith, Kanye West, and Tyrese Gibson. The ‘Problem’ Broner himself has suffered personal turmoil after his mentor and coach, Mike Stafford, passed away earlier this year. 

All the celebrities previously mentioned have gone through some sort of turmoil over the years. Will Smith’s married life was put to the test in front of millions. Kanye West became the focus of ridicule after his divorce from ex-wife Kim Kardashian. Meanwhile, Tyrese broke down online and suffered the same fate. So, Broner recently took center stage in advocating why men don’t speak out about their mental health issues.

Adrien Broner highlights the reality of men’s mental health

Broner shared a post from an Instagram user, which highlighted the punches celebrities took on several occasions. It highlighted Tyrese Gibson’s emotional breakdown when he revealed he had not seen his daughter in two years which then became a meme. Moreover, the post also emphasized Kanye West’s mental breakdown on live TV, which got him labeled as “crazy.”

The post also underscored Will Smith’s humiliating video where his wife revealed her affair, as the world laughed at Will and he suffered the same fate as Kanye and Tyrese. The post asserted why men don’t open up about their mental health issues, citing these instances as the reason. Moreover, Broner previously shared a clip of Mike Tyson on his Instagram Story, which spoke about real friends in life. 

Broner’s shirtless McDonald’s fiasco

When the topic is about mental breakdown, no one can forget Broner’s own breakdown in a McDonald’s restaurant. Earlier this year, Broner made a spectacle of himself when he went into a McDonald’s shirtless. What’s even worse about that entire situation is that Broner’s friend recorded the incident, and Broner shared it on his Instagram story.

In that clip, Broner aggressively approached the McDonald’s employee while inquiring about the person who cooked his meal. Despite the employee’s efforts to de-escalate the situation, Broner continued to be aggressive and asserted he would buy the police if they were called. Broner’s boxing career has lately been marked by numerous controversies, turning him into a polarizing figure.
