‘Princess of Pop’ Britney Spears recently announced news of her pregnancy on social media. Former world champion Mike Tyson once spoke about his respect for Britney Spears, and about how her family treated her.

‘Iron’ Mike Tyson was a guest at the Full Send Podcast which was hosted by the NELK Boys. The group was talking about Britney Spears’ return, and how she turned her life around.

In conversation, Tyson spoke about his admiration for Spears. He said, “Well, I’m glad that she’s getting her life back. She’s just an awesome girl. I used to hate that white pop s*** too, but as a person, she’s a tiger man, I have so much respect for her as a person.”

He also spoke about how commendable it was for Spears’ to turn her life around. He added, “But listen, dig this, how many motherf****** you know that can lose their mind and get it back. Woo, that’s what I respect.”

However, Tyson was quick to address the fact that Spears was wrongly treated by her family. Tyson asked why Spears was not the boss of her life. And, why she would need other people to dictate her life.

Giving emphasis to Spears’ family, Tyson said, “The dark evil energy will use anything to take away your spirit. Use your mother, your father, your friends, your family.”

He further added, “You know they don’t care, it’s a battle between good and evil. Once god puts his hands on you and say you’re the one, the devil notices you too.”
