In a conversation that took a dark twist, boxing legend Mike Tyson recently left fans and fellow celebrities like 50 Cent shocked after a somber interview with young internet sensation Jazzy from JazzysWorldTV.
During the interview, when the enthusiastic 13-year-old Jazzy asked Tyson about the legacy he hopes to leave, Tyson’s response was unexpected and grim. He dismissed the concept of legacy, claiming it was merely a product of ego. ‘I don’t believe in the word legacy,’ he said candidly, adding that once we die, we become nothing but dust.
Tyson’s words stirred reactions online, and 50 Cent was quick to voice his thoughts. Sharing the clip on Instagram, the rapper humorously chided Tyson, saying, ‘Got Damn it! Mike ya scaring the kids, WTF.’ Adding a touch of humor, he advised, ‘Chill. Note to self, keep the kids away from Mike.’
This interaction between Tyson and Jazzy took place against the backdrop of Tyson’s highly anticipated match against Jake Paul, which was held at the Dallas AT&T Stadium. Just before the match, tensions flared as Jake Paul accidentally stepped on Tyson’s foot at a weigh-in, leading to a brief physical exchange where Tyson reportedly slapped Paul, prompting a quick intervention from their teams.
This fight marked Tyson’s return to the ring since his 2020 exhibition match with fellow boxing icon Roy Jones Jr., which concluded in a draw. This time around, Tyson was up against Jake Paul, a YouTuber known for diving into the world of boxing.
Meanwhile, 50 Cent and Tyson share a history that goes beyond just Instagram banter. In the early 2000s, Tyson’s friend and bodyguard, Darryl Baum, was linked to 50 Cent’s well-publicized shooting incident. Furthermore, 50 Cent purchased Tyson’s sprawling 52-room mansion in Connecticut, which was later sold at a significant loss.
Despite the financial burden of maintaining such a massive estate, 50 Cent recalled the advantages it provided, allowing his entourage ample space while preserving his privacy. The mansion even gained fame by being featured in an episode of MTV Cribs.
This unlikely blend of humor and history between a rapper and a boxer only adds to the public’s fascination with celebrity dynamics. As Tyson continues to make headlines, the world remains intrigued by his candidness and 50 Cent’s humorous, and sometimes personal, take on it all.
