Mike Tyson Explains Why He Pressed Boosie Over Homophobia
With a big comeback fight on the horizon, Mike Tyson recently made headlines for another reason entirely: his diplomacy. The incident in question arose during an episode of Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson, which featured Boosie Badazz as the guest of honor. In the opening moments, however, Mike decided to press the rapper over recent comments made about Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union’s transgender daughter Zaya, as well as his perceived disdain for homosexuals in general.
During an interview with TMZ, Mike Tyson opened up about his conversation with Boosie, revealing that it was actually his daughter who inspired him to raise the topic. Off the top, both Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere praised Tyson’s handling of the situation, noting that the boxing legend appeared to have actually gotten through to the no-holds-barred rapper.

“You know, I was Boosie at one time,” begins Mike. “My daughter flew all the way from New York City to L.A. California where I’m at just to be there, cause she thought Boosie was so disrespectful she had to confront him. Could you imagine that? I said ‘who do you think you are, you can’t confront my guest!’ And she said, ‘you gotta talk to him, this brotha’s disrespectful to the community.’ So she came, and what they didn’t show, was she confronted him.”
“I was worried I would have to get angry, cause this is my baby,” continues Iron Mike. “But he conducted himself like a gentleman and it went okay. It didn’ go like I anticipated it to go. My daughter has a lot of courage and stuff.” After fielding further praise, Mike elaborates on what drove him to speak up. “I love Boosie, Boosie is beautiful as far as I’m concerned. It’s just that, he gotta win that fight over those demons. He has to win, he can’t give into them.”
Check out Mike Tyson’s reflection on his conversation with Boosie Badazz below. Considering the fallout Boosie received from his comments, it’s worth noting that he stood by what he said during the same conversation with Mike — even amidst the consequences. Do you think Mike Tyson’s words ultimately resonated with Boosie Badazz?

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”
François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.
François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.
The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.
“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
