Tyson Beckford Model

Tyson speaks on his new Make Me a Supermodel and compares it with Tyra and ANTM:

“Tyra? Are you joking? I’m the only male supermodel there is, the only one who can make a supermodel. Do you think Tyra can just call up Naomi Campbell and ask her to teach these kids how to walk the runway? Please! You know Tyra and Naomi aren’t cool like that right? And we’re in New York, Tyra’s in L.A. Nothing’s going on in L.A. [My models] will go on go-sees, be doing what it takes where the action is, in New York. Please!”

Damn, Tyson it’s like that? He is right to an extent, but is sounding a bit cocky for his britches.

    If he doesn’t take those dumb ass sneakers off with that oufit, I swear fo God!!!

  • Three C’s

    damn down girl… well i guess he told tyra

  • Curly Fries (Welcome Back, MJB!)

    Tyra started the Top Model movement. Tyson, you’re fine as hell, but don’t hate!

  • PrettyMissSunshine

    And he sounds a little catty to me. How you Doin? (In the Wendy Williams Voice) lol

  • http://www.myspace.com/mallymaal maaly

    he does need to take those sneakers off,but tv isn’t even worth watching nowadays, except sportscenter & family guy

    LOL! Damn, I never heard it put that way before. Besides, I thought it was Tig who likes it up the Hershey Road.

  • PrettyMissSunshine

    @ Maaly

    Looooove Family Guy and the Boondocks!!

  • jen

    He is such a girl. why did he have to call out her and Naomi as if we didn’t already know. Another reminder HELLO!!! you are a male model why would he even want to teach females how to walk? Not to mention Tyra takes them to other countries for goosees which is probably harder than dealing in the Big Apple/ IDIOT!!!!

  • jazi

    If it wasn’t for tyra’s show he wouldn’t have one. sounds to me like tyson & janice are sippin out the same hatorade cup.

  • http://www.myspace.com/birdshu Bird

    We all know you don’t have to be a Rhodes Scholar to be a model and his statement is proof of that. Did Tyra say something bad about him? Why is he bashing her?

    BUT, I do agree with him on that LA thing. I don’t understand why she moved ANTM there.

  • michael jackson’s nose is really the holy grail!

    3 snaps..and around the world!

  • NubianGoddez

    ROTFLMAO @ PrettyMissSunshine

    If he doesn’t take those dumb ass sneakers off with that oufit, I swear fo God!!!

    And to quote billy zane in zoolander “its a walk off!!!”

  • themissfits

    This sounds made up. And yes Tyra started the movement. From project runway to Tyson’s show…None of them would exist without the success of top model. Janice Dickinson wouldn’t even be relevant right now without top model. Yet they all take jabs at Tyra.lol. She must be doing something right! Rosie Odonnell structured her talk show, magazine ventures in Oprah’s footsteps, yet couldn’t help taking jabs at Oprah here and there. Dem Hoez B Hatin its nothing new. And btw a man saying pleeeease every 5 seconds is not the business. I was waiting for him to say girrrrrl.lol

  • Straight…no chaser

    He’s right aint nothing going on in LA. It’s all about NY babyyyyy.

  • Daisha

    That’s crazy because Tyson was just on the last ANTM cycle. He should thank Tyra for opening the door to a new job for him. Real talk, Tyra’s ANTM brought about a lot of spin offs. There are all these shows now like America’s Smartest Model, Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, and even Project Runway wouldn’t have happened had it not been for ANTM.

  • Keisha

    Now this is a quote I wouldn’t put pass this dude. He’s very arrogant. I met him once and LA and he had the”I’m all that” attitude. Wasn’t humble @ all. I used to like him until then, now everytime I see him I want to smack his teeth str8(unless he got them fix, then I want to smack them back crooked)

  • The One

    Tyra is the one who put the idea in his head. I remember when he was a guest judge on her show and this is how he thanks her. Ungrateful ass!

  • da darkness

    @ tyson

    playa don’t hate LA u saw what happen to biggie the night he was on some ol… K. Yes NY has the most drag queen’s u might b one might not, thus you are “the only one!” as u said so until u claim that son catch up with the 4 head(tyra) make harmony not war

  • da darkness

    why laya kebede don’t got her own show now that would be some great t.v. she grabbing up models from africa, “the best looking girls come from africa and dats for real”-Ludacris’pimp’n all over the world-

  • da darkness

    @ bird

    she moved the show to LA more than likly cause thats where taped t.v. happens and most of your live t.v. comes out of NY. Nonetheless LA oh I must say have sunnier gals. The women in NY be suffering in all that cold, just waiting to get loose. LA they dress how they want all year round, 70-80 ya know

  • 504 : retire “hate” in ’08 !

    LOOKS LIKE THE SNEAKERS T-PAINEEZY WAS DRINKING OUT OF IN THAT PIC !!

  • Dalia

    I hope that Tyson didn’t really say this crap. Y’all know how people get misquoted all the time.

    But, if he did say this, then someone needs to bust his bubble. Mentioning Naomi Campbell doesn’t help his show because she is a total “has been”. There’s a reason why she’s not seen on the runway as much any more…she’s old, old, old, and old.

    His(?) show won’t last past this season because all of his models look like drug addicts.

  • ashley

    I like Tyson but why did he have to say something so damn stupid? Even “If” he is right, he is clearly (along with a couple of other shows) is biting off of Tyra. He should take some tips from Tyra like…when he wants to steal from her at least make it his own and then better. Damn, that Tyson…such a fine man but obviously no brain.

  • persona

    Heeeeeeeee. I never got over them moving ANTM to L.A. The dumbest move ever. Like, what model industry does L.A. have? Those people are BAD dressers.

  • Lauren

    Pussnboots….I feel you but how come we never see the ANTM winners EVER AGAIN! Where is Yoanna, and Naima? The first winner was on VH1 or something acting like a damn fool….its just ashame that they don’t get as much work as they deserve or maybe they do but we don’t see them…anybody seen EVA??

  • Jai Mills

    I HATE what he is saying, but he is right. America’s next top model get exposure, but they never GET anywhere after the cameras. If any of you knew anything about the industry Naomi is still “hot p***y” as one designer called her. She is THE best walker in the industry. How many Next Top Models are going to New York Fashion Week?

  • P Diddy

    If you don’t think he’s gay, watch a couple episodes of the show and you’ll know he is!!! Sit down QUEEN!

  • Anonymous3

    Okay, Mr. “How You Doin”….Tyra has been doing this ANTM for a while…Tyson is new to the game…he may want to keep his lips shut atleast until the ratings come in…

  • andie

    He’s right but I don’t think he said that.

    Everyone knows Tyra’s models ain’t sh*t.

  • divajrr

    fine as he is, can’t someone get him some face moisturizer? He is looking a tad bit ashy around the mouth, like he just dove in the bowl of cocaine face first.

  • OoooLaLa

    Tyra started this whole thing about shows with models. She’s been in the game longer. Tyson is new to this, he doesn’t even know if the show he hosts will be back for another season. He’s fine as hell, but not to bright I see.

  • Shana Brick City Cutie

    Tyson sound like Tyra himself. She’s always comparing herself to Oprah and hasn’t come close to what Oprah does on her talk show. He’s talking smack about Tyra and ANTM has been a hit for years. As far as Naomi she’s still one of the most demanded models on the runway and is the new face for Louis Vuitton. Why is it that Tyra helps people and they all end up hatin her???

  • andputsomeSTANKonit!!! Welcome Back MJB!

    @ NubianGoddez

    And to quote billy zane in zoolander “its a walk off!!!”

    Get out of my head! I was about to say the SAME thing about the ‘dry face’ look he’s sporting.

    He’s still FINE, though. I just won’t look down at his feet, and I’ll ignore his ash . . .

  • Angel..V,(^.^)

    um um ummm … I’m sorry Tyson, were you saying something??

  • michelle

    Tyson, you are so fine. Just shut up and look pretty. Tyra I won’t backstab you and I’m available to be your assistant immediately. You go girl !

    Tyson better watch talking side ways about Tyra. She will slap the spit out that gay as nicca mouth.

    I’ll give hime the benefit of the doubt though cause he’s just now gettin used to people sticking a microphone in his face to actually listen to what he has to say. Time to learn the etiquette homie.

    ummm Tyson is… bitter… when was the last photoshoot he’s done? And ummm Tyra’s in NY so what is he talking about? .. Tyson – didnt he have Derek Jeter’s name tatted on him?

  • naija

    Wow and I just saw him on ANTM last season. What phoney. ANTM is fake tho. I still love TyTy

  • justice20yo

    i wish tyra would respond to his faggot ass, but she has too much class to stoop to that level.

  • Lisa

    I watched the show last night Tyson, IT SUCKED!

  • me888

    seriously, this shoulda been a Ho Sit Down. Tyson knows he was/never will as ‘super’ as Tyra. ugh!

  • CI

    While Tyson sounds like a whiney b****, he does have a point-NY is where it’s at for modeling, and LA isn’t. None of ANTM have become supermodels; her show has no credibility whatsoever. Sorry Saleshia, but you are a test photo away from D-list nothingness. Real talk.

  • Sapphire

    Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaow! Ms. Tyson is goin’ off like a TRUE ball queen!

  • logic

    but damn! can’t he show some respect for her paving the way for his fruity ass to even have a show! Gimme a Got Dam break Tysonetta!

  • BROWN SUGAR

    We all know Tyra is a Oreo but i love her show and her success. DO THE DAMN THANG TYRA!

    Tyson sounds like a gump, and somebody please tell him that Tyra is now back in New York, and her next cycle just may be in New York and besides Tyra has been there not that in New York we should just laugh at him I seen his show last night its kinda weak no excitement.

    Imma miss all yaw!!!!

    JUMP THE FENCE AND CLICK MY NAME!!!!

  • PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    i see the collagen has finally worn off for mr beckford … he USED to be .. he a washed up male model w/ no backup plan so they decide to bite tyra show now he trying to create model beef?! wtf? get on somewhere tyson with yo sweet bottom ass!

  • aqueenwaits

    who really cares……………….he’s HOTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

  • http://deleted IBW-Ideal Black Woman

    ok Tyson, did Derek tell you to say that?

  • Harlem Chic

    Tyson Beckfor is motha effin fine. The brother is a hot piece of black man perfection. I can stare at him all day.

  • YES

    i can see the shine has worn off tyty he ain’t looking so fine prob due to the fact that he has lost weight and hit the botox. plus male supermodel perlease mate when was his last campaign, tyty just sit there and look pretty baba!

  • Ibn

    MS PEACHES YOU BETTER COME GET THIS ROTWEILER…LMAO

  • Teezy

    I like Tyson like most women in the world, but he is hatin. Lets see if his show can go 9 seasons strong. I doubt it! And why is everyone gettin on Tyra these days. I think people are just jealous of her sucess. Somebody out there must like her because both of her shows are still on the air. Tyson support her dont slam her. She may help you with your show.

  • Breezy

    Tyson and Tyra are both cocky mouthy drag queens they should be the best of friends. Tyson’s just jumping on the everybody hates Tyra bandwagon cause lately thats the trend. I’m like most people I can’t stand Tyra the oreo and I think she’s very off and needy too. Her talk show is the laughing stock on Talk Soup but ANTM is the bomb.

  • 10questions

    Ty Ty and Ty Ty beefin. That’s funny. Why is it that Tyra can’t have a week without someone letting her know how much they hate her. Why does it always end up being someone who is supposed to be her friend? Tyra has become the celebrity to hate on when you need to promote your show. Tyra it looks like all your friends always end up hating you so you might want to be careful who you associate with and bring on your show this season.

  • sasha

    He can say what he damn well pleases he is jamaican perfection and so id Naomi. So is the one girl from Gap and myself. Knowing that he is JAmaican you know he said that ask them a question enough times you will get a real answer. Im not saying all Jamaican’s are fresh its just that when se are its epic amounts of fresh all natural organic compared to these bland genetically modified food looking masses. I am proud of it too 5’7 size 0 (30 25 30)

  • Look at me

    sound like you need something to eat to me

  • Cori

    Tyson was all in Tyra’s face last season and has the nerve to diss Tyra. I hadn’t seen Tyson in years until he came on Top Model.Then Tyra said her and Naomi are cool but I guess Tyson let the truth be told. It just shows that everybody is using Tyra’s little theory of “fake it til you make it.” When you’re fake everybody will be fake towards you too Tyra. I still think Tyson is hot.

  • buttafly

    HE ACTS SO GAY. HE IS TOO PRETTY FOR HIS OWN GOOD. LOL

  • Bahama Mama

    I agree with Sasha’s comment. Never play with Jamaicans. Tyson can say whatever he wants. Tyra says whatever she wants on her show and now people keep coming out to say what they want about her. They’re all just being like her. I now think that Naomi was never the problem. Tyra can’t stay away from beefin with somebody so that says it all.

  • sasha

    correction 30 24 30 but some people exclude under 25 inch waist.

    RUle number two Jamaicans are pretty much united maybe over some rice and peas with oxtail tyson adn naomi would not date each other but will rep each other that is one of Tyra’s problems

  • Gimme Some

    I would feel sorry for Tyra cause Tyson didn’t have to go their but I agree with most people that Tyra always brings drama to herself. Tyra always bites off more then she can chew. She’d save herself a headache if she would just chill out and not talk so much all the time. I also agree that Naomi is still working the runways and she maybe crazy but her body is rockin unlike Tyra.

  • Real Journalist

    I found his show painstakingly boring.

  • vachick

    he look like his breath stink in that last pic..need some carmex asap!!!and im trippin like eryone else how he was jus on tha tyra show now he startin stuff..y though

  • sdedee

    I never figured out what they see in this tight eyed square head, but hey folks think joe camel is cute. As said before, dont hate on LA it has everything to offer: beaches, snow filled mountains, the desert, burbs, city, valley, forrests, warm weather year round…………….

  • LaCool

    Wait a minute, wasnt Tyson just on ANTM this last cycle? What does he have against Tyra?

    Either way his show is on Bravo and how many people watch that? Tyra is on CW. Her paper is longer and she could probably make a few phone calls to have his ass cancelled. They are replacing Niki Taylor’s BORING ass cuz she’s pregnant and Tyson can get it just the same way. Tyra and Heidi are best friends and Heidi damn near OWNS Bravo cuz of the ratings from Project Runway.

  • Damn

    He needs to stop, he’s the damn CO-HOST on that show. And NOT the damn creator. How the hell are you talking BIG Sh*t about someone who first started the concept you’re now CO-HOSTING? I forgot his ass existed until this damn show came on. That’s a punkish move.

  • Power To The People

    We should not support his show, if we knew the power that we have as “everyday” people over these celebrities we would have better shows, and more humble celebrities. He acts like he’s doing the world a favor by gracing us with is so-called good looks. Tyra helped him become relevant again, gave him a chance and started the modeling show phenomenom. He has some nerve, am sure he wouldn’t have his show if she didn’t. They would have picked a FEMALE to do the show. HE’S WACK, let’s SHUT HIM DOWN.

  • Reformed GammaRay

    ILL! could u please locate your balls? ole aging model ass u aint been ON since the 90′s..HOE SIT..

  • Lishia

    I think Tyra is the smarter one because she is the creator/producer of her show not just the host, which means more money. Models don’t make money anymore like they did previously, it’s all about branding yourself like Tyra and Heidi Klum have done. And if he feels like her show isn’t producing great models then why did he guest star on her show this past season?

  • playlist

    nice suit, but the camel should be replaced with a black or charcoal 3 quarter and the pilot glasses need to go

    fact

  • Ghost

    I’m the only male supermodel there is, the only one who can make a supermodel.

    —————————————————–

    I’m sure Tyrese just laughed when he saw this. Didn’t he start off modeling before moving on?

    And if he was such a top modle, why is his show on Bravo and not broadcast tv where folks can see it?

    Tyson, go get half naked and stand there for all the sisters to dream about while being service by that ugly boyfriend.

  • Halo

    But here’s the knock out blow. Regardless to what Tyson says, America’s Next Top Model is shown in 180 countries worldwide and Ms Banks gets a piece of each rock. That does not include what she get’s for her talk show. I like Tyson but who cares if you get Naomi, Ms Banks is making BIGGGGGGGGGGGG bank, and having Tyson and Nikki on her talk show helped them get their new gig. Take a seat Tyson, if she called you tomorrow, you would show back up again. All this Black on Black hatred must end people.

  • FU!

    Old Ashy lips seems a little bitter. Didn’t get enough airtime on ANTM? Maybe Tyra wouldn’t fix him up with Mr. Jay cute self. Every time I see this dude he’s acting a little more peaches. Next time I see him he’ll probably be kissing a boy.

  • Moe

    I don’t think Tyson said it like that. Notice that there’s no quotes around those comments he supposely made. Oh, I was under the impression him and Tyra were still good friends. I mean, wasn’t he just on ANTM not too long ago? No, I’m not buying this one at all.

  • Mike

    does anyone know who those sunglasses are by?

  • Half Pint

    I didn’t believe the whole Naomi and I are cool routine Tyra tried to pull. Tyson Beckford told you Miss Tyra.

  • Chris

    You know how b*tches are and girls will be girls like that! Whether Tyson said that or not, he is a fairy and obviously jayed cause he needs some sort of exposure. Why didn’t his smart ass do a model show that showcased male models? Now, THAT would have been an original idea Ms. Beckford!

  • yes

    anybody seen EVA??

    i just saw eva on house of payne, i’ve seen bre and mercedes in commercials and print ads and toccara’s on bet is that game show still comes on, a lot of them have done stuff overseas or the mags they are in maybe for a different audience than u are reading, but a lot of them are working, well a couple

    and i think they did have a show for male models but it wasnt too great

  • And another one….

    Tyson Beckford was caught in Bed with Big Tigger and word is Tigger ass was bleeding, Tyson how u doin – At least Miss Jay and that other gay one with blonde hair on Tyra’s show are entertaining. Damn Tyson get yo ass out that closet embrace your homo – come on be FIERCE with it ‘darling’

  • On Point

    Why do all you low down sambos got to hate on the fine, dark skinned brotha. I bet if his ass was as light and bright as can be y’all be all up on his dick. *SMH* Just because he is dark skinned all you trifilin nekros continue to hate and call him gay.

    BLACK SKIN IS BEAUTIFUL, IF YOU ARE W****, LIGHT & BRIGHT, OR DAMN NEAR IN BETWEEN FALL BACK!!!!!!!

  • 80′s Lady

    Do grown folks even watch ANTM? Seriously.

  • Marv

    why is this queen hatin on Tyra?

  • Halo

    I’m trying to figure out where Tyra complained about beefin with people.. Tyra ain’t said squat, these reports are comin off the net. As for the one who made the comment about Naomi still makin bank on the runway. Get a clue. They both worked for Victoria Secret, but Naomi never made Angel, which is their highest paid model position. Working the runway is great, but the money goal is to exceed the runway, not strut it for life. Naomi is a baddd B and so is Tyra. Don’t compare them, celebrate them. Then pray that Naomi starts talking on the phone and stops throwing it. As for Tyson, if he really said it, I’m sure he is already regretting it.

  • pimp daddy

    dis sweet nucca should be arrested for what he did to tigger asshole.

  • JerseyBred

    I don’t care how fine his ass may be, he shouldn’t be talking greasy about Tyra. Likewise for Janice Dickinson’s bony ass. If he felt this way about her show, why was he there last season?

  • princess07

    Oh please this guy is a jerk and further more I’ve seen “Make Me A Super Model” and it was much a copy cat of Americas Next Top Model that it wasn’t even funny. Tyra show is not about being a Super Model, but givng these ladies a chance to get their foot in the door of Modeling. Which they coudn’t do on their own. I admire her for that. Tyson needs to choose his words wisely because there are more Tyra fans than Tyson.

    Jerk…………
