Cartier- Mike Tyson is in his suburban
Vegas kitchen with his wife, Kiki,
trying to explain to the three
members of Migos how he’s living
these days. This is pretty standard
fare for the Atlanta rap trio—Quavo,
Offset, and Takeoff. Last night
they attempted to ride motorized
wheelchairs through the nightclub
where they performed, and in a
few hours they’re going to see Criss
Angel demonstrate that magic is
indeed real. But this still may be the
most surreal moment of their week.
They’re looking at Tyson and his
gleaming kitchen like they can’t
quite believe this is happening.
“This is where me and my wife
hang out all the time,” Mike says,
nodding at his marble counters, his
stainless-steel refrigerator. “What
do we do, baby?” he asks Kiki.
“Nothing,” she says. “All kids.”
The three Migos behold the
chaos created by Milan (8, doing
doughnuts on a hoverboard) and
Morocco (6, banging on his sister’s
adult-size piano), a bit stunned.
So this is how Iron Mike lives, they
seem to be thinking. The Zeitgeist,
of course, that has long since left
Tyson is just now descending on
them. “I had my time,” Mike says to
them. “Now it’s your time.”
Kiki confesses that she actually
thought Migos was the name of a
guy, not a group.
“Nah,” Mike says. “They got the
new one, ‘Black and Boodjee.’ ”
The Migos quietly correct him:
“Bad and Boujee.”
“They’re from Atlanta, baby,”
Mike says. “They were in that
movie Atlanta, too, weren’t y’all?”
Well, the TV show, they say.
Kiki still looks dubious.
“Versace Versace,” Mike
says—Kiki must know that Migos
song “Versace.”
He does the hook, and the
Migos nod at last in approval, and
then they join in: Versace Versace,
Versace Versace, Versace Versace.
