Mike Tyson tries to remember how many kids he has

In the episode, Tyson was asked by guest rapper Blueface how many children he had. Tyson would then claim that his wife taught him how to count his many offsprings as he tried to remember how many kids he actually has.

They taught me how to do this. I have two children with my current wife, two with my ex-wife, one with my ex-girlfriend, and who else? I have Mikey, I still don’t, I’m still missing three babies,” he said.

This was not all, as he then revealed that he was “played” after Blueface tried to claim that Tyson was a “player”. Tyson stated that he was not the man people thought he was, rather he was the victim as he got “played”. “No I wasn’t, I wasn’t a player at all. I was never a player, I was the played, not the player,” said Tyson. Tyson’s admission certainly sparks a conversation about the role of manipulation and exploitation in relationships.
