Tyson Calls Hulu Slave Master Taking Over His Life Story

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 18: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NO COMMERCIAL USE) Mike Tyson speaks with Mario Lopez at Capital One Podcast Studio during the 2019 iHeartRadio Podcast Awards Presented by Capital One at the iHeartRadio Theater LA on January 18, 2019 in Burbank, California.

Having Mike Tyson mad at you is not a good thing. There is a new show on Hulu that depicts Mike Tyson’s life. However Mike Tyson never approved this show. This is an unauthorized biography of the boxer. In a recent post, Tyson praised Dana White for not promoting the show. “Hulu tried to desperately pay my brother @danawhite millions without offering me a dollar to  promote their slave master take over story about my life, He turned it down because he honors friendship and treating people with dignity.  I’ll never forget what he did for me just like I’ll never forget what Hulu stole from me.”

Mike Tyson compared Hulu to Slave Masters. “Don’t let Hulu fool you, 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. To Hulu executives I’m just a n***** they can sell on the auction block.”

Tyson said the show on Hulu was “tone-deaf cultural misappropriation of my life story.” Steven Rogers who is the executive producer stated that Tyson’s story rights were “already taken.” Rogers hopes Tyson will “change his opinion” about the show.

Karin Gist, who is a showrunner for Hulu stated. “We just wanted to tell an unbiased story and have the audience decide what they think or feel.” She also added, “Challenging what people think they know about Mike and hoping that they come away from the series with something else to think about,” Gist explained of the show. “Whether you like him or hate him, does the story make you question how complicit society has been? That was the intention, that was the North Star for the writers’ room as we were crafting stories.”
Hulu is releasing Mike on August 25th and Tyson is working on his own life story with Jamie Foxx, Martin Scorsese and Antoine Fuqua.
