Santana began by saying, “I need to pull this up because I got Mike here … I need to justify this. One day we was with Cam… I always get like, crucified on the internet when this clip is posted. Mike grabbed my arm or something and put my arm up, and it was like, ‘Damn, Mike pressed you.”

Mike Tyson finally clears the air on the ‘Juelz Santana manhandling’ accusation

Tyson believed people had misinterpreted his grabbing of Santana. According to Tyson and Santana, the so-called “Choke No Joke” clip was widely misunderstood as Tyson had only attempted to say, “Tell all those n-ggas, you the man.”

Well, looks like Tyson and Santana got it all cleared now. Astonishingly, even though it was 19 years since the incident, fans still preferred to talk about it on different occasions as they liked. It is for the best that Sanatana and Tyson cleared out the confusion in public.
