‘Can This Really Define God?’: Mike Tyson, Who Recently Went to Mecca With DJ Khaled, Question Quran & Bible

Far from the safety of a family and home, the sleazy lanes of Brooklyn molded the hands of a teenager into a destructive weapon. Something he put to such a savage effect that most of the opponents avoided staring at Mike Tyson during the weigh-ins. But the demons of his childhood chased him to hell. Dethroned, a jail term, opened his eyes to the way of God. Once out, his path filled with thorns, but Mike never deviated from the path God had shown. Now a wizened fifty-six-year-old, he was impressed when a youngster at his show displayed maturity much ahead of his ripe young age.

The Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson has never looked back since it began in 2019. Hosting celebrities and athletes from varying backgrounds and disciplines, the show now boasts more than half a million subscribers!

Mike didn’t lose Cordae’s humility and gratitude to God, “You seem pretty spiritual yeah, I would say so yes what do you think about that what do you think that comes from?”

And unhesitatingly, the rapper credited his grandmother for his spirituality.

Mighty impressed, the former champion shared his thoughts on the heavy subject, “Listen, um sometimes, I’m spiritual and sometimes I think when I’m thinking spiritual in my Mystic way I look at a Bible or Quran I said can this really Define God in this book really defined God I don’t know…”

Then he explained how, if we project ourselves away from our planet, the insignificance of our existence might strike. The irrelevancy of our lives as we all go through the same ‘process.’

The youngster, who had been listening in rapt silence, agreed with Mike’s views, heart, and soul, “Yeah and that’s a bar like s**t yeah that’s a bar I never thought about it like that.”
