Mike Tyson, the former two-time heavyweight champion, is a hip-hop music enthusiast. He has followed the rap music industry closely and has been friends with several rappers. In his heyday, he hung out with one of the most influential rappers of all time, Tupac. The 56-year-old has witnessed the transformation this industry underwent. There was a time when only male artists were dominating it. But with changing times, female artists also became a part of it. Now the time has arrived when names like Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Megan Thee Stallion have redefined the music industry.
Tyson, who is really moved by these female artists, had a three-word message for them.
