50 Cent has urged Mike Tyson to “calm down” following the boxing icon’s depressing interview prior to his bout with Jake Paul.
Tyson made depressing remarks about death when interviewing 13-year-old internet celebrity Jazzy of JazzysWorldTV.
The former heavyweight champion said, “I don’t believe in the word legacy, I just think that’s another word for ego,” in response to a harmless question about the kind of legacy he wishes to leave behind. Legacy is not meaningless.
“I’m just passing through,” he continued. It’s going to end when I die. After that, legacy is irrelevant. I’m about to die, and I want everyone to believe that I’m this wonderful person? No, we are nothing at all; we are but dust, dead, and nothing. Nothing remains of our heritage.
On Instagram, 50 shared the embarrassing interview video again with the comment, “Got Damn it! WTF [ninja emoji] calm, Mike, you’re frightening the kids. Make a mental note to keep the children away from Mike.
The much-anticipated bout between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul took place at Dallas’ AT&T Stadium on Friday, November 15, and was shown live on Netflix.
After the YouTuber-turned-boxer trod on Tyson’s foot during the weigh-in earlier this week, the two got physical before the fight.
Tyson hit Paul across the face in return, and security and their crews separated the two.
After losing to journeyman Kevin McBride in 2005, Tyson made a comeback to the ring in 2020 for an exhibition match against fellow superstar Roy Jones Jr., which ended in a draw.
Mike Tyson and 50 Cent have previously met together. The boxer’s bodyguard and buddy, Darryl Baum, was accused of shooting 50 nine times in 2000 before he was killed a few weeks later.
50 later paid more over $4 million for Tyson’s 52-room Connecticut estate.
“The Tyson crib was like that, that was definitely it,” the G-Unit boss said, admitting that he ultimately lost money on the enormous estate. I sold it for $3 [million] after paying $4.1 [million].
“I owned it for 14 years, and the annual maintenance cost was roughly $700,000,” he continued. During some financial difficulties, he allowed the property to be sold at a huge discount from the $18.5 million he had originally attempted to sell it for.
50 said that he and his G-Unit group were able to stay at the house and yet have their own space because the estate was so big.
At one point, the mansion appeared in an episode of MTV Cribs.
