‘Having Some Form of Success Is Worse Than Crack’: Mike Tyson’s Podcast Guest Leaves Co-Host Stunned With Hard-Hitting Life Lesson

When a music artist drops a banger of a song you can’t stop humming to, you definitely remember his name. But deep down, the content put forth comes out of the mutual efforts of many people behind the curtain. In a recent episode of Hotboxin’, Mike Tyson sat down with the man behind the success of some of hip-hop’s biggest artists in the last 25 years like Akon, Big Pun, Wu-Tang Chan, and several others. He is the founder of Loud Records, the legendary American music entrepreneur Steve Rifkind. It would not be wrong to dub him a man of enormous knowledge after what he said in Tyson’s podcast’. The 60-year-old provided a life lesson that left the co-host DJ Whoo Kid stunned.

Mike Tyson, the former two-time heavyweight champion sitting on the couch agreed to it because when he too looks back at his own his life, he finds that Rifkind was dropping truth bombs.

What lesson did Steve Rifkind give that shocked the HotBoxin studio?

Discussing success and life, Rifkind narrated how his life changed after a sudden success. Though it might have appeared exciting in the beginning, it had its own repercussions attached to it. And who would know this better than Tyson – who after becoming the youngest heavyweight champion at the age of 20 lost the  plot because he could not handle it.

This is the reason, the music dynamo compared his first hit record to Tyson’s winning championship. According to Refkind, it was addictive.

“I used to have hair down here. The next night there was a Stretch Armstrongs DJing at a party and I met the mother she ended up being my wife but also the mother of my children. I mean and she was you know a top model supermodel and I was I mean it is an addiction. I mean having some form of success is worse than crack”, Rifkind said.

To which, DJ Whoo kid reacted,

“oh w0w!”

Next, Rifkind added why it is so. In his opinion, it is so because sudden success doesn’t teach anything. Instead, it makes you stubborn and nobody likes to deal with you.
