Mike Tyson Regrets Not Smoking Pot With Tupac

By PopEater Staff Posted Sep 7th 2010 04:15PM

Back in the day, Mike Tyson and Tupac Shakur were good friends, but there was one thing they never did together that Tyson regrets to this day -- they never got stoned.

"He always wanted me to smoke weed with him, and I never did it, and I wish I did," Tyson told AP in a phone interview. "That's my biggest regret."

Tyson opened up about his relationship with Tupac as a build-up to ESPN's documentary called 'One Night in Vegas: Tyson & Tupac,' detailing the man behind the legend and apparently his smoking habits as well.

Tyson explained that he always declined because he was afraid of the extra media attention if word got out.

Tupac was shot the night of Tyson's fight on Sept. 7, 1996 in Las Vegas, and died six days later. He was only 25.

"He didn't last long, but the time he did last, every minute, every tenth of a moment was explosive," Tyson added in the interview.

The documentary airs Tuesday on ESPN (8 p.m. EDT).

That was his biggest regret.. Its up to him to make that decision, not to anyone else. I personally think that's a rather honest regret, if that's the only thing you regret about a friendship then you know it was real. I would be honored to smoke pot with Tupac, at least they'd have intelligent conversations while they were stoned, and not spend it ripping on some celebrity because of their regret about their deceased friend.. Rest In Peace Tupac Amaru Shakur.
