Season two of “Empire” returns in September, and while the details on the upcoming season are still limited, FOX is keeping fans up to date on all the celebrities set to make guest appearances.

Kelly Rowland will portray Lucious’ mother and now Tyrese has been confirmed for a role as well.

It’s unclear what role Tyrese snatched up, but “Baby Boy” fans have been asking Lee Daniels to get Tyrese on the show for a good minute now, so he confirmed the news on his Instagram account:

Yes! Stop asking!!! #tyrese is coming on #empireseason2 And NO, I am not leaving my show! I just wrapped my 1st episode … I got #richardpryor to do!

In related news, before he expressed his excitement for teaming up with Taraji P. Henson again, Tyrese also took to Instagram a couple of days ago to praise Meagan Good and DeVon Franklin’s marriage:

Hands down 2 of my favorite people….. Hands down 1 of the most blessed marriages out there….:: Today I choose to highlight positivity …… So many healthy and beautiful marriages don’t get the attention they deserve….. These days marriage ONLY end up on the cover of magazines when the “D” word is happening..::: I’m going to keep praying over healthy and happy marriages it makes OUR WORLD better…..
