Even though this episode marks Tyson’s exit from the podcasting venture, it still managed to leave fans in stitches with laughter. As the final guest on his podcast, Tyson and his co-host, DJ Who Kid, conversed with popular musician Nicky Jam. However, when the co-host brought up Enrique Iglesias, the real fun began as Tyson ended up asking DJ Who Kid to stop the hate. Here’s why!

Nicky Jam reveals what Enrique Iglesias is like

During the podcast, Jam recalled the time he was hanging out with another popular musician, Jay-Z. So, the co-host probed Jam about what working with Iglesias was like and what his thought process was like when producing music. To this, Tyson interjected, claiming, “How [would] he [Nicky Jam] know how he [Enrique Iglesias] thinks?”

Not expecting to be put on the spot for such an unassuming question, the co-host explained, “He [Nicky Jam] worked with him…” However, it still didn’t make sense to Tyson, as he stated, “That doesn’t mean he knows how he thinks.” Nevertheless, Jam tried to answer the question to the best of his knowledge.

“I know he’s very professional [and] very picky. He’s a good A&R (artists and repertoire). He knows when the song is really good – and he just goes for it,” said Jam. Elaborating on his time working with Iglesias, Jam said, “I [have] respect for him. He’s rich as f**k without his father’s money…” To this, Tyson responded by asserting, “So, stop hating…” However, this wasn’t the only instance when Tyson’s humorous side came out.

Mike Tyson and Eminem’s hilarious conversation during Ngannou vs. Fury

Even though Francis Ngannou’s boxing dream collapsed after an embarrassing loss to Anthony Joshua earlier this month. The former UFC heavyweight champion nearly upset the boxing world when he nearly defeated Tyson Fury last year. However, the highlight of the fight was when Ngannou attempted a Superman Punch.

While Ngannou tried the move inside the ring, a hilarious conversation ensued ringside between Eminem and Mike Tyson. After Ngannou’s punch, Eminem asked Tyson, “What the hell was that?” To which Tyson responded with “Superman Punch.” When the rapper followed up with “Did You teach him that,” Tyson responded, “Not this one, but I told him to use it though.”

With that said, the Hotboxin With Mike Tyson podcast has officially come to an end. However, fans are sure to go back to the countless moments archived on YouTube forever. What did you think of the conversation between Tyson and the host? Let us know in the comments!
