Mike Tyson and Nick Cannon found themselves opening up about a variety of experiences they’ve had in their lives in the latest episode of Hotboxin’. At one point in their discussion, Cannon spoke about celebrities who were “approachable“. In fact, the 42-year-old television host widely known for Wild’n Out and The Nick Cannon Show coined a term and called himself a “Let-me-get-a-picture celebrity“.

In his opinion, Cannon, who crushed on Jamie Foxx’s sister, is easily approachable by fans and would not mind clicking pictures with them at their request. However, he simultaneously felt that there were others who were intimidating and likewise would not entertain requests by fans. At this, while the American Son actor addressed himself as a “let-me-get-a-picture celebrity“, DJ Whoo Kid informed that Tyson once rudely turned down a fan. He said, “Mike told a n***a, ‘I ain’t signing you s**t. Get the f**k out of here.‘”

In sharp contrast with Cannon declaring himself an approachable celebrity, Mike Tyson narrated an incident that occurred in the past while he was busy shopping with his beloved wife. Although a world-known figure, Tyson wanted people to respect his privacy while he was accompanied by his wife in “one of these stores” in a city. Unexpectedly, as Tyson recalled, a person approached ‘Kid Dynamite’ and urged the former Heavyweight champion to hire him as his personal stylist. “I was in one of these stores and I was shopping with my wife. And this guy was like, ‘Please, please, Mike Tyson, let me be your stylist. And I was like, ‘What the f**k do I need a stylist for?’ I dress my own stuff,” told Mike Tyson.
