In a recent interview, the topic of Mike Tyson's comments about wanting "5 seconds with Tupac's killer" came up. It sparked curiosity about Tyson's relationship with Tupac and shed light on their interactions.
During the interview, Keefe D mentioned a prior acquaintance with Mike Tyson through Von Zip and Richie Rich. Despite this connection, the speaker emphasized their regular nature, saying they were not starstruck fans or groupies. It appeared that they had met Tyson on a few occasions at various places, including the Roxy up on Sunset and Heavy D's studio, where Richie Rich was present.
Keefe D confirmed that Tyson was quite close to Von Zip and Richie Rich, a prominent figure from Yonkers. However, they also mentioned that Tyson was closer to Richie Rich and another guy from New York, disproving the assumption that being from the same place automatically translates into unwavering loyalty.
Keefe D admitted being taken aback by Tyson's statement expressing a desire to confront Tupac's killer. However, they clarified that they did not harbor any personal animosity towards Tyson. Recognizing their physical limitations compared to Tyson, they chose to distance themselves from any confrontation.
Regarding Tyson's allegiance to Biggie and his friendship with Tupac, Keefe D acknowledged that they believed Tyson would side with his "homeboy." However, he questioned the significance of geographical ties and disapproved of such regional animosity. He believed that Tupac's combined heritage from New York, Baltimore, Oakland, and LA made him a multi-faceted individual, not solely tied to one location.
