Mike Tyson put up $50,000 for a proposed “hit” on gang members suspected of killing his bodyguard in 2000, a government witness testified.
The allegation was made Thursday by Dwayne Meyers, a former member of the Cash Money Brothers gang. Meyers testified at the trial of Abubakr Raheem, who’s accused of driving a getaway car after turf-war killings.
Meyers claimed the former heavyweight champion put up the money to retaliate for the June 2000 slaying of his close friend and former bodyguard, Darryl “Homicide” Baum. The alleged contract was never carried out.
Tyson’s attorney was traveling Friday and could not immediately be reached for comment.

Today’s Inspiration is a photo of a young man who was able to fulfill one of his many dreams recently. In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his ability to invoke dreams and goals within the people of this nation I want to highlight this young man for having a dream and reaching it. Below is a photo of this young man and his hero Muhammad Ali. While at the Muhammad Ali Center, the young man and his mother saw Mrs. Ali and by the grace of God and the belief in following one’s dreams they asked if they could meet “THE GREATEST” himself. Well as Dr. King has taught us dreams can come true, let’s continue to push our youth to believe that they can achieve anything that they put their hearts and minds too.
