This was not the case when comedian Aries Spears made fun of Tyson during a stand-up show. In an interview with Vlad TV, Spears recalled a memory of performing stand-up at the legendary Comedy Store in Los Angeles, during which he poked fun at Tyson’s lisp and shrill voice.
However, he was confronted by Hip-Hop legend Tupac Shakur. He stated that Shakur came to him while he was performing his set and told him to leave Tyson alone.
