Boxing legend Mike Tyson was not afraid to call out Kanye West back in 2020 on his podcast Hotboxin. The former heavyweight champ had Hollywood insider Jason Lee on his show. Lee, who worked closely with West in the past, revealed how publishing a story about Khloe Kardashian, the sister of ‘Ye’s’ wife, led him to be uninvited from West’s church service.

So i went to like probably the second one, and it was you know earth wind, and fire. David Letterman, Kardashian’s a small group of people but then I broke us and I’ve actually sat with Kanye and I’ve sat in his house and I’ve been in his house. I’ve sat with him and he had a great conversation but then I broke a story about Khloe and Tristan Thompson um but I gave Khloe the heads up and we’re cool and Khloe are cool about it But then Kanye was dis-invited from his Sunday service.” Lee said.

Moreover, he added that he was very disappointed after this as according to him, he was an integral part of the culture driving West’s success and fame. “I thought was so crazy, I’m probably one of the people who drive the culture through our company that actually supports you. Yeah and it’s just funny that like we don’t have to be there to know what you’re doing because you’re there and phones are there and people know. Social media you can’t fu**ng take a sh*t without putting it on Instagram you know. But I just find it interesting how like I don’t know man this city is something else. I don’t I try to work in it but not be of it,” he added. However, Tyson seemingly gave a brutally honest suggestion to Lee following this.
