Tyrese to play Taraji P. Henson’s love interest on ‘Empire’

 
Tyrese Gibson and Taraji P. Henson are reuniting on-screen.
“Me and Taraji, we gotta do what we do,” Gibson, 36, told Wendy Williams in an episode of her talk show that aired Friday, hinting that he’ll play a love interest to Cookie Lyon on “Empire” this season.
“I’m coming to get my girl back,” he said to thunderous applause.
Gibson and Henson famously played angry and passionate lovers Joseph “Jody” Summers and Yvette in 2001’s “Baby Boy.”
“All them dudes on there kissing on my girl … I’m kinda done with seeing all that,” Gibson added.
Suggesting that his character will certainly turn up the heat with Cookie, Gibson said, “This chocolate is spreading!”
As for the backstory, Cookie was married to Lucious Lyon, played by Terrence Howard, and is working to claim her place within Empire Records’ ever-changing structure. But not only have Cookie and Lucious shared bitter arguments, they’ve bedded each other a number of times, too.
And Cookie’s second romantic interest from Season 1, Malcolm (played by Derek Luke), ended abruptly.
It’s unknown when Gibson will make his cameo, but it supports previous Page Six reporting that Henson’s character will be further explored in Season 2.

The affected colleges are: Adeyemi College of Education, Ondo; Federal College of Education, Zaria; Federal College of Education, Kano; and Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri.
