Legendary boxer Mike Tyson isn’t afraid to show off his fighting skills in- and outside of the ring.
The 56-year-old, reportedly hard at work creating his biographical film (in which Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx will assume the leading role), is doubling down on slamming Hulu for creating a biographical mini-series without his blessing.
At the time of the streamer’s announcement (February 2021), Tyson released a lengthy statement to voice disapproval.
“[The announcement of this series] on the heels of social disparities in our country is a prime example of how Hulu’s corporate greed led to this tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of my life story. To make this announcement during Black History Month only confirms Hulu’s concern for dollars over respect for Black story rights,” his statement read. “Hollywood needs to be more sensitive to Black experiences especially after all that has transpired in 2020. My authorized story is in development…”
This week, he reiterated the sentiment. Look inside to see what he said.

As seen via the post above, Mike didn’t hold back on Instagram when weighing in on the upcoming eight-episode series set to explore the ups and downs of his highly publicized boxing career and volatile personal life.
“Don’t let Hulu fool you,” Tyson wrote in a statement shared on Instagram. “I don’t support their story about my life. It’s not 1822. It’s 2022. They stole my life story and didn’t pay me.”
He didn’t stop there.
“To Hulu executives I’m just a n****r they can sell on the auction block,” he continued, captioning the post, “Hulu is the streaming version of the slave master. They stole my story and didn’t pay me.”
At writing, execs from the streaming giant have not responded to Tyson’s latest statement.
The heavily-teased limited series, which casts ‘Moonlight’ star Trevante Rhodes as the titular character, is set to land on Hulu August 25 and includes a cast of familiar faces like Russell Hornsby, Harvey Keitel, Laura Harrier, Li Eubanks, Olunike Adeliyi, and B.J. Minor.

Go ahead girl, since you have a past of harassing many people here and all of the past comments are here to prove it, plus you are using threats and talk about dying, how are you gonna put yourself in any good position and try to fool anyone here? Don’t pretend to play hard when you’re so weak 😉
The amount of fake Shayla and fake Marilyn accounts that have existed, the Queen and Diva are the real celebrities on here as y’all talk about and emulate us more than anyone else 💯🤳🏽💋
Thank you for your time.
😂 that’s all you found once you hit a wall? When people are using fake accounts to impersonate someone they have a different picture, we already saw that and i’m sorry but you can’t fool anyone 😘 you wanted some go hard playa? You got it.
Keep your foot on Shayla’s neck! Got caught slipping again. Better luck next time Shayla Troll!
@ Tiffany LMAO!!!! Yes! When trolling goes wrong chile….smh
Yeah lol she was asking for a go harder playa so I give her what she wants 🤷♂️😂
Girl bye, I’m the OPRAH of this ISH lmaooooooooo 🤣🤳🏽 I’m the one that gets emulated the MOST and y’all took some of my style too lol….but I’m not mad, cause I realize my influence lol…you and Diva are Ricki Lake and Sally Jessy with the red glasses lmaooooooooo…I’m MUVA O with the exclusives ya’ll can’t get lol 😂 💋
You may be the OG but that just shows you’ve become old and washed so there is only ONE account emulating you with the same avatar now! lmaoooooooooo 🤣 You TRIED it!
That most recent account who emulated me is saying you “can’t replicate an avatar” lmaoooooooooo 🤣
Shayla AKA Fancy Bish, somebody already reported that you exposed yourself before with this account, Nice try but you’re still weak 😘
@Jynkx, boy I am NOT Shayla lol….and to Shayla, respect your elders heffa lmaooooooooo 🤳🏽
Yes you are lmaoooooooooo 🤣
Shayla, I’m the TRUTH lol 🤳🏽 You need to worry about Jynkx pulling your card and your wig 😂 Next, on OPRAH, Shayla Queen exposed…..you wouldn’t want to miss this *cue theme music* lmaooooooooo 💋
Why are we replying to ourself? 🤔
You can use my avatar but you will never be the Queen lmaoooooooooo 🤣 Imposter #733527349. Go eat a stale croissant 🥐
Look how pathetic you are at this point 😂 you hit a wall girl, we ALL know we just can choose the name, give an email and eventually a website but there’s no way to copy an avatar to replicate an account 😉 each account attached to a different IP will have automatically an other one, you just can’t assume what you did, once again you can’t fool anyone now 😘
Even just a different device generate a different avatar, stop fooling yourself girl 😉 you exposed yourself and you can’t do nothing about it.
Talking about my fûçking kid? Now you’re going TOO FAR you fat French f-g! Look how hard you’re TRYING to “prove” it wasn’t you by saying you can’t choose an avatar. So you DIDN’T CHOOSE that dragon then? TGJ just MAGICALLY allocated that as your avatar, right? You can choose ANY AVATAR YOU LIKE. Just as you copied mine, chose that dragon and some people choose Beyoncé. But to use mine and call my kid ugly? Enjoy Hell.
💋💋💋💋
You are the only one talking about your kid Shayla but since it’s so easy to use and avatar, what are you waiting for using mine and prove me wrong? I know, that sucks so bad that I just exposed you until the end.
Ppl shouldn’t support and networks shouldn’t do this. Why make a story when the person or family isn’t behind it. Just like Wendy Williams manly looking self made the Aaliyah movie against the families wishes. Stop with the greed.
They don’t need permission. Sorry. If It’s good I’m gonna watch. Discovery’s Aretha movie was way better than the “authorized” one with Jhud. These people are rich anyway. Doesn’t affect me.
Yea way to stick together ✊🏾 you probably aren’t black anyway
I don’t read drivel from pathetic losers who are merely obsessed stans of the Queen. I will not react to such peasantry 👑
You just hit a wall and you can’t assume the fact that you exposed yourself on a rush to troll and harass someone. Baaaad 😂 the fact that the karma hits you back makes that quote funny.
LOL!
She/He is an amateur who think they can play with the big dogs. Of course I’m NOT surprised it slipped up, Shayla is definitely low I.Q.
the True Tea spilleth over 🤣🤣🤣. Not one soul, living or dead, is surprised this fraud exposed herself. I LIVE chile!!!
Chile then she tried to say someone hacked her account, lol 😂
Girl you been trolling for years and you this sloppy…SMH
@Old Teabag
FACTS. I make no rookie mistakes 💋
💯 of course some people think they are smart but sometimes they just think. This was needed and I’m glad that y’all are here to testify that I was not the only one to complain about it.
Shayla Shayla Shayla… how many times are you gonna try to convince yourself? You got caught, game over playa 😘
And here comes Old Teabag lmaoooooooooo 🤣
Sis my teas was apparently correct. It was only a matter of time until it was confirmed.
How you call yourself the Queen of TGJ yet ur the one with 🥚 on their face, lol
You WANT it SO BAD to be true! lmaoooooooooo 🤣 How’s tricks, Old Teabag? 💋
The egg yoke ain’t gone wash itself sweetheart.
NOW that’s the True Tea…
Stay kissing this ass, ole heffa 💯🤳🏽💋
The tea is hot as hell and sweet as heaven 😚☕👌
Shayla stops asking people to kiss your parts please, TGS is not a brothel.
I am the MOST talked about topic, as usual, as I told JunkieX before lmaoooooooooo 🤣 #QUEENTINGS hunnie! Y’all could NEVA! Yaaaaaaaaaaas! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
We talk about you because you are a parasite that we can’t seem to rid of
lmaooooooooooooooooo
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Keep on exposing yourself girl, we never have receipts enough.
🤭🤭🤭🤭
46 comments, and only 2 of them relating to the actual post topic… wow, some people need to get out and enjoy the Sun more.
With that said, I’m with Tyson on this one and won’t be supporting.
Lol my thoughts exactly this site’s comments are mostly ridiculous anyway its been like that for about 5-6 years now. Anyway I’m with you will not be supporting the thievery.
