Fans fear for Mike Tyson’s 16-year-old daughter who embarrassed him in front of thousands of online viewers
Mike Tyson’s daughter Milan was forced to come back to her father’s defense after some fans feared the viral fad could land her in trouble.
A growing number of regular people, celebrities, and skilled athletes have gotten part of a TikTok trend called “Just Give Me My Money.” In this trend, friends and members of the family gather around one another, each taking turns saying, “Just Give Me My Money,” followed by cheers and praise. However, the joke ends when the last person does their version of “Just Give Me My Money” and nobody cheers, leaving the person red-faced and confused.
Mike Tyson, who is one of essentially the most iconic figures in skilled boxing history, took on the viral trend. It appeared on TikTok video which his daughter Milan Tyson posted on August tenth.
“OK, we’ll do it first. Get in here,” Milan says in the video, directing an unidentified man into the frame. “Then we’ll all cheer,” the person tells Tyson.
This trend normally involves at the least two people standing next to one another and chanting “just give me my money,” with participants often adopting a comically altered tone of voice so as to add a bit of drama to the video.
“Just give me my money,” Milan says because the trio erupts in applause. Then the person repeats the mantra, and everybody claps again. But when Tyson’s turn comes, he goes against the grain, uttering his own version of the mantra, laced with expletives.
“(Give me) my fucking money,” he says, as his daughter looks at him awkwardly for a moment.
The awkward situation saw many fans immediately reply to Milan’s comments, reminding the 16-year-old that her father is thought for his hot-tempered nature.
“Doing this to Mike Tyson must be terrifying,” one person commented under the TikTok video.
“That was brave,” one other TikTok user noted.
“You guys are having fun with life,” someone wrote, showing a laughing emoji.
“You are playing with fire,” one other social media user warned.
While some consider Tyson felt unfairly embarrassed by the video (which has been liked over 661,000 times as of August 12), the trend is commonly promoted in such a way as to essentially prank the one person who is unaware of the joke.
The last person, who in this case was a famous boxer, normally doesn’t get an enthusiastic response after saying his version of the phrase. Instead, there’s almost all the time a transient moment of awkward silence.
Milan, it seems, came upon concerning the negative response to her video, which prompted her to share a follow-up post about her physical well-being.
“I am happy to report that I am still alive,” she said. he wrote in the caption under the selfie with the hashtags #myfatherdoesn’tbeat #favoritechild.
“Thanks for letting me know I was starting to worry,” someone wrote in the comments section below the photo.
Milan is one of Tyson’s two children together with his current wife Lakiha Spicer. In 2021, she launched a sportswear line called Milan Miyla. Tyson has been married 3 times and has seven children. Tragedy struck in 2009 when Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter Exodus She died from accidental strangulation with a rope.
The former heavyweight world champion is about to return to the ring in November for a fight with YouTuber-turned-pro Jake Paul. The fight was originally scheduled for July 20 but was postponed because Tyson had health issues. Paul ‘heartbroken’ he said Tyson’s health was the primary priority heading into the fight.
