The legendary pro boxer Mike Tyson has been part of several controversies in his illustrious career. It has come to light that Styles P (real name David R. Styles) and the LOX were apparently eyeing for a fight with ‘Iron Mike.’ Styles P recently shed light on the matter.
Styles P talks about possibly fighting Mike Tyson
The Yonkers rapper appeared on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, where he spoke about the fight that almost unfolded at an awards presentation. The reason has come to light about the possible fight. He was defending fellow rapper Eve with the help of his LOX comrades.
Styles P said:
“Vegas or L.A., it’s one of them awards. We see Mike, we’re chilling. Eve is with us, though — us three, there’s nobody else there. And [Mike’s] on his bully and we decided, ‘We gotta protect Eve.’ We was deciding who was gonna get knocked out. I was like, ‘I got a knife. Mike’s gonna kill us!’”
Styles, Jadakiss and Sheek Louch felt obligated to protect Eve, probably as a result of Mike Tyson‘s 1992 rape conviction — but neither of them wanted to risk getting hit by the heavyweight champion.
He continued,
“He just liked Eve for how she was looking. Eve was nervous; we with Eve so gotta be the protectors, so now we in a f***ed up position. Now we deciding who’s gonna take the Mike blow. We decided Louch. Louch was like, ‘F*** no!’ I’m like, ‘I’ma die! I’m little!’ Nobody can take this blow. We trying to come up with a strategy. What do you do?”
