Stylist-to-the-stars, creative visionary, and living proof that destiny always has a second act—Ty Hunter joins TS Madison for a can’t-miss conversation about faith, fashion, and the career pivot that changed everything. You may know Ty as Beyoncé’s longtime stylist, but years ago his life looked drastically different. He was making heart valves for a medical supply company in Austin, until a tragic wake up call sparked a complete career pivot. Driven by a dream that he couldn’t ignore, Ty opens up about the moment God told him to “get down to Houston.” What followed wasn’t just a whole new career... it was DESTINY.
Ty takes Maddie for a strut down the memory RUNWAY: working at Bebe (c’mon rhinestones!), meeting Ms. Tina Knowles (our first-ever Outlaws guest), styling Destiny’s Child and ultimately Beyoncé when she went solo, life on tour, the Barack Obama question he’ll never forget, stepping away from styling at the height of his career, writing a memoir, surviving industry rumors, and the full-circle return for Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour.
Also: fate vs. hustle, Ms. Tina’s motherly mentorship, trying to date while chasing your dreams, entrepreneurship beyond glam, creative rebirth, Ty’s philosophy on fashion as protection, and how fiercely TS Madison loves the way Ty protects Beyoncé.

Is it on? Is it on?? Honey, is this thing recording?! TS Madison broke the Internet with six seconds and a 22-inch weave. And she didn’t just go viral — she became part of the culture, from “RuPaul's Drag Race” to Beyoncé’s “Renaissance.” Her superpower? Her voice. Her kryptonite? Doesn’t exist. Her podcast? The one they never saw coming.
Each week on “Outlaws,” Madison sits down with living legends and rising stars who shed their armor and own their stories — turning side-eyes into sermons, pain into punchlines, and grief into galaxies. They speak when silence is safer. They dream when told to disappear. And they know what so many are taught to fear: that when you speak your truth, you open a portal.
