“Literally Got Stabbed”: Michael Jackson’s Son Opens Up to Mike Tyson About Witnessing Near-Death Experiences While Doing Charity Work

In a recent episode of the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast, the spotlight was on Prince Jackson, the son of the legendary Michael Jackson. In an exclusive interview with Mike Tyson, the reticent Prince Jackson bears it all.

While the podcast usually delves into the world of boxing, this episode took a different turn as Prince shared his eye-opening experiences working in charitable endeavors in underfunded areas like Skid Row. The conversation shed light on the stark contrast between privilege and poverty in America.

Prince Jackson and His Mission

Mike Tyson, the former boxing champ, started the conversation by acknowledging the stark disparities in society, saying, “You probably have crazier stories than I do, to be honest. We took a lot of college kids to Skid Row and really underfunded areas, and there, a lot of students were very privileged. When you start having a conversation with a guy that dwarfs you, you’re like, ‘Oh, what are you doing here?’ You see some women and her mother, beautiful and young, and they’re homeless, with nowhere to go. It’s crazy, it’s so eye-opening for them.“

Prince Jackson chimed in, sharing some of the harrowing incidents he witnessed during their charitable endeavors, such as handing out personal hygiene bags. He recounted, “On two separate occasions, one guy tried to run us off the road like we were on the sidewalk. He climbed the curb in his truck, and we had to get out of the way. And then, another time, a man literally got stabbed while taking a bag from us. Somebody came up behind him and hit him like three times. But the craziest thing was, he didn’t react. He walked off like he was fine. We asked if he was okay, and he just said, ‘Yeah, I’m good,’ and then walked away. It was the craziest thing.”

DJ Whoo Kid, the Co-Host of the show added his perspective, emphasizing the shocking disparity between the richest city in America and the dire conditions on its streets. “They’re defecating on the streets.” 

Prince Jackson grew up with certain values that shaped his understanding of the world at large. He remains dedicated towards reducing the wealth gap that his country is currently grappling with.
