Sparks were flying on the latest episode of “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” but not of the punching variety. This week, flame up and gather for a roast fest courtesy of none other than Rick Ross, “the Boss.”
While lounging with Iron Mike on his podcast, a kid picture of the very young Tyson reemerged; seizing the opportunity to roast the hell out of a perfect moment, Rick sized up and sassily zapped, “It’s a stunning picture… How old were you there? The barber didn’t give you no blend, man!”

For those unaware, “blend” is the term used to describe the seamless integration of multiple hair lengths in a haircut. That consideration was not apparent in the business of cutting young Mike’s hair, to put it mildly.
However, worry not, battle buddies; Mike was able to take the light-hearted jibe. Both laughed, with Ross even exclaiming his affection for the photo. Mike jested even more when asked about the style, claiming the barber used a bowl to create it.
This could seem highly unlikely, for sure. After all, Mike Tyson isn’t someone to back away from a beef. For example, rapper Cam’ron is on trial after betting on YouTube star Jake Paul, nicknamed Jake Paul, who would defeat Wild ‘N Out star Tyson in a future match.
Nonetheless, that is the humor. The incident demonstrates that Ross and Tyson could joke and laugh at themselves. Most wouldn’t joke like that, but Rick Ross did so. Simply stated, Boss has earned street cred after humorously roasting Iron Mike.
If you need a good laugh, visit the “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” podcast and skip to around the 44:20 mark of that video. You might catch a glimpse of the infamous haircut that kicked off this whole story! Also, there’s a chance that you might learn some details about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson in the 4th round. It probably won’t be just another boring match.
