Boxing legend Mike Tyson might be one of the most popular athletes on the planet. However, even Iron Mike might not be more popular that his wife Lakiha Spencer aka Kiki Tyson. The former heavyweight champion recently went on a hilarious rant on his podcast ranting about how Kiki was more welcomed than him in public places.

He stated that people would greet his wife while they visited the bank in a seemingly cartoonish way. “My wife’s more popular than me she goes to the bank no one says hi to me. Hey, Kiki Kiki Kiki. I don’t want to say what I think on television but they’re Kiki bye Kiki hey Kiki I love you Kiki hey what you doing kiki. What the f**k? Let’s say hi to me. I don’t sound right man,” he said.

Moreover, he added that his wife always visited the bank and asked her why she was always greeted very well.” She’s always at the bank sending money to the bank and check the cashier check back withdrawing depositing Hey kiki do you give these people holidays and stuff? I wonder why they talk to you like that he said.” He added.

He then hilariously claimed that the bank people looked like they were in a choir while talking to Kiki. “What the hell? It’s like a bird like a choir singing. Hey kiki bye Kiki we love you kiki. Oh f*ck I said damn my wife is powerful,” he said.

It looks like Iron Mike might be a little jealous of his wife’s popularity. However, this shouldn’t come as a surprise, as Tyson is used to being the center of attention.
