Kidd Kidd used the occasion to spit some bars from his Meek Mill, Gunplay and Maybach Music Group diss song.

"Fuck Meek Mill and that clique he claim / Drake could've fucked your bitch if it wasn't for Wayne / Let's play a game of truth or dare, dare you speak my name / And tell Gunplay he gon' need gun play if he gon' get his chain / I had to get me out the mud, I come from the bottom / And all this money ain't nothin' bitch I got Mac problems," Kidd rapped.

The Top Ten Weirdest Athletes Of All Time


Athletes are famous for being superstitious or quirky. They do things like wear the same t-shirt for every game, washed or not. Or listen to a particular song before they take the field or even eat certain meals.

In the history of athletics though none have been more strange than this list of 10 athletes compiled by the Houston Chronicle.

Let's take a look.

10. Clinton Portis


Clinton Portis likes to dress up as various characters and perform interviews as them.

There’s the Mad Scientist, who wears glasses like Geordi from Star Trek and claims that his wild hair came from sticking his finger in an electric socket.

There’s Southeast Jerome from Southeast D.C., who was on his way to the bright lights of New York to go dancing.

There’s Dr. I Don’t Know, who wears pink-rimmed glasses that used to be white, but were stained with blood during surgery, and doesn’t know why the Redskins lost 36-0 to the Giants.

There’s Dolemite Jenkins, who like to dance with men and even asked a reporter if he wanted to cut the rug. Portis later revealed that Jenkins, who rocked a red curly-haired wig and dorky glasses, was inspired by the movie Napoleon Dynamite.

There’s also Choo-Choo, Bud Foxx, Prime Minister Yah Mon, Dolla Bill...

9 Chad Ochocinco


As if changing one’s surname from Johnson to Ochocinco isn’t weird enough. Johnson is famous for his ridiculous and often hysterical touchdown celebrations.

He’s performed CPR on the ball, made a bogus proposal to a cheerleader, and held up a sign that read, “Dear NFL, Please Don’t Fine Me Again.”

He’s raced a thoroughbred for charity (he won, for the record) and has sported some of the oddest hairstyles sports have ever seen.

Ochocinco’s newest obsession is his Twitter account, which he posts on as often as 50 times a day.

Here is my personal favorite Ochocinco-ism from Twitter: "You think Brett will put me in one of those Wrangler Jeans commercials, straight up, year supply of Wranglers for Esteban, awesome."

If you're wondering, Esteban is one of his many alter egos.

8 Bill "Spaceman" Lee


Pitcher Bill Lee is perhaps the most interesting man to ever step onto a baseball diamond. He represented the counterculture in America during a time, the 1970s, when a distinct counterculture existed.

Lee was a man of the Earth. He spoke to animals, supported environmental causes, practiced yoga, and consumed A LOT of pot.

In fact, he was once fined $250 by Major League Baseball for sprinkling marijuana on his pancakes.

Lee was also well-known for his outspoken personality. A constant source of quotes for the media, Lee let loose on issues ranging from population control to school busing in Boston.

Lee was also extremely intelligent. He studied Eastern philosophy, the works of Einstein, and later wrote four books. Fittingly, Lee was a lefty. You know what they say about lefties.

7 Manny Ramirez


Manny Ramirez once high-fived a Red Sox fan in Baltimore after making a catch in left field and still found time to fire the ball back to the infield for a double play.

He once strangely massaged the head of then teammate Julian Tavarez, another odd duck, in the dugout during a game.

He spent “free time” between innings at Fenway hanging out in the Green Monster, occasionally on his cell phone.

He once made a diving catch on a relay throw from teammate Johnny Damon that wasn’t intended for him. He took his spot in left field with a water bottle in his back pocket on one occasion.

That’s just Manny Being Manny.

6 Jimmy Piersall


Piersall, an outfielder in the 1950s and 1960s, collected a laundry list of strange incidents during his playing days.

Perhaps the most well-known was the fistfight he had with Billy Martin prior to a game in 1952. I know what you’re thinking; a lot of guys probably threw hands with Billy Martin in their playing days, but Piersall’s strange behavior only begins there.

That same year he spanked the four-year old son of teammate Vern Stephens in the Red Sox clubhouse during a game.

He once stepped to the plate playing air guitar with his bat while wearing a Beatles wig and frequently talked to Babe Ruth’s bust in Monument Park when visiting Yankees Stadium.

Piersall later became the subject of the movie "Fear Strikes Out" about his battle with bipolar disorder.

Later in his life, he said, "Probably the best thing that ever happened to me was going nuts. Who ever heard of Jimmy Piersall until that happened?"

5 Turk Wendell


Wendell, a pitcher for a number of teams from 1993 to 2004, was nearly as entertaining as he was downright weird. Wendall chewed black licorice while he pitched and brushed his teeth between every inning.

Speaking of teeth, he wore necklace strung with the teeth of animals he had killed during his many hunting outings.

Wendell was also extremely superstitious. He leaped over the baseline whenever he took or left the field and required that umpires roll him the ball at the beginning of each inning instead of throwing it.

Wendell was obsessed with the movie Major League and wore the number 99 as a tribute to Charlie Sheen’s character, Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn.

Wendell became one of the game’s most liked players due to his quirky behaviors and eccentric personality.

4 Joe Namath


“Broadway Joe” was as unusual as he was great. The always flamboyant Namath often wore full length fur coats on the sideline.

His appearance in an ad for Beautymist pantyhose in 1974 still reigns as the strangest athlete endorsement of all time because he was shown wearing said pantyhose.

He once retired briefly to protest the NFL’s insistence that he sell his partial share in a New York City bar with mafia ties.

Despite having retired nearly 25 years ago, Namath still finds ways to put himself into the headlines.

In 2004, during an interview with ESPN sideline reporter Suzy Kolber, a drunken Namath informed Kolber that he wanted to kiss her. Soon after, Namath sought treatment for alcohol addiction

3 Mark "The Bird" Fidrych


Fidrych, whose nickname was derived from his resemblance to Big Bird, was the 1976 AL Rookie of the Year but only played until 1980.

However, he made a huge impact in his five seasons in the big leagues. Fidrych frequently spoke to the ball while on the mound and aimed it like a dart before starting his windup.

Fidrych would ask umpires to take back balls he believed “had hits in them” and insisted that they come back as pop-ups.

Fidrych became a sensation in Detroit, with attendance skyrocketing whenever he was scheduled to start.

Perhaps Fidrych’s most endearing quality was his insistence that if he wasn’t pitching in the major leagues, he would be pumping gas back in his hometown of Northborough, Mass.

2 Dennis Rodman


Oh, where to start. “The Worm” has made a career out of being different. From dyeing his hair every color over the rainbow to his rendezvous with Madonna, Rodman has always found a way to make himself the center of attention.

He married hottie Carmen Electra, and after showing up in a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, himself.

He once skipped a practice during the NBA Finals to participate in a professional wrestling bout with friend Hulk Hogan.

Rodman’s had his own reality television show, posed nude for PETA, and been in a couple of bad movies. Then there are all the piercings, the tattoos and the arrests.

Somehow along the way, he managed to win five world championships and be a seven time NBA All-Defensive First Team selection. What hasn’t Rodman done?

1 Mike Tyson


The chronicles of Mike Tyson are well known. From the early days of being Iron Mike, one of the greatest heavyweight champions of all time, to the tattoo-faced oddball we know today.

Along the way, Tyson manufactured some of the strangest and disturbing quotes in sports history. In 2002, Tyson told Lennox Lewis, “I want your heart. I want to eat your children.”

He also once advised a female reporter to stop talking unless she wanted to fornicate, because he only does interviews with women if he fornicates with them first.

While his whole life would qualify as strange, Tyson owns the holy grail of peculiar events in sports history. In 1997, Tyson bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield’s ear in the third round of their heavyweight showdown.

Tyson returned to the spotlight in 2009 with his cameo in the hilarious Vegas caper The Hangover. It’s widely believed to be his best performance since knocking out Michael Spinks in only 91 seconds in 1988.

Mike Tyson Gets Married For 3rd Time

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Mike Tyson has married for the third time, two weeks after his 4-year-old daughter died in a bizarre treadmill accident. The owner of the La Bella Wedding Chapel at the Las Vegas Hilton hotel-casino told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the former heavyweight champion and his bride, Lakiha Spicer, exchanged vows Saturday night in a short, private ceremony. Chapel owner Shawn Absher says the couple wed about 10 p.m. after arriving at the hotel from the county marriage bureau in a chapel-owned limousine. County marriage records in Las Vegas show the 42-year-old Tyson and 32-year-old Spicer got a marriage license about 30 minutes before their ceremony. She is not the mother of Exodus Tyson, who died in May. The girl suffocated after she either slipped or put her head in the loop of a cord hanging under a treadmill's console in her Phoenix home. Exodus lived in a home with her mother and brother that is owned by Sol Xochitl, according to county property records. Tyson's agent, Harlan Werner, told the AP that Spicer is not Exodus' mother. Spicer is a resident of the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson. Tyson and his bride asked for a simple ceremony with nothing special, Absher said. "They just wanted to say the vows and be married," he said. "It was very sincere." Tyson has been married twice before, first to actress Robin Givens in 1988, then in 1997 to Monica Turner in New York. His first marriage ended after one year after Givens filed for divorce and said in a nationally televised interview that she was afraid of Tyson. Tyson and Turner's marriage lasted five years. Tyson and Spicer seemed very in love, Absher said. "They were very heartwarming, and I think they really do love each other," Absher said. "He seemed happy — and his life's been up and down." Tyson last boxed competitively in 2005, when he lost to Kevin McBride.

Mike Tyson's 4-year-old daughter Exodus is on life support after an accident involving home exercise equipment, the Associated Press reports. In what police in Phoenix call a tragic accident Monday morning at Tyson's home there, the girl was reportedly found by her 7-year-old brother with her neck caught in a cable attached to a treadmill. The boy alerted the girl's mother in another room. Her mother called 911 and tried to revive her, according to the AP. Mike Tyson was said to be in Las Vegas at the time of the accident, but has returned home. Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill told FOX News, “Somehow she was playing on this treadmill, and there’s a cord that hangs under the console – it’s kind of a loop. Either she slipped or put her head in the loop, but it acted like a noose, and she was obviously unable to get herself off of it.” Emergency personnel performed CPR on Exodus, who was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital where she remains on life support, according to the Fox News report. Sgt. Hill described her condition as "extremely critical." Update** PHOENIX (AP) — The 4-year-old daughter of boxer Mike Tyson died at a hospital Tuesday, a day after her neck apparently got caught in a treadmill cord at her Phoenix home, police said. Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead just before noon, police Sgt. Andy Hill said. She had been on life support and police have said their investigation showed her injury on Monday was a "tragic accident." "There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus," the family said in a statement. "We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal." Police said Exodus either slipped or put her head in the loop of a cord hanging under the console. Her 7-year-old brother found her and told their mother. She took Exodus off the cord, called 911 and tried to revive her. Responding officers and firefighters performed CPR as they took the girl to the hospital. Former heavyweight champion Tyson was in Las Vegas at the time of the accident and flew Monday to Phoenix, where he was seen entering the hospital. The family's home is in a modest, quiet neighborhood. Neighbors say they saw Tyson there from time to time and the children played outside regularly. Dinka Radic, who lives across the street, said Exodus would ask her if she had any chocolate. When Radic gave her some, Exodus would hug the woman's knees and "kiss, kiss, kiss." "She'd say 'hi' to everybody. She was really friendly," said Abdul Khalik, 53, who lives next door. He said Exodus rode her bicycle in the neighborhood and often played with his two children and his niece. He said his 14-year-old daughter had cried all day after hearing of Exodus' death. Ben Brodhurst, 20, who lives across the street, said Exodus' and her family went trick-or-treating at his house the last couple of Halloweens. She was "very lively, very enjoyable to be around," he said. The neighborhood contrasts starkly with the lavish lifestyle Tyson had through his tumultuous years of boxing, when he spent tens of millions of dollars and says he had millions more stolen from him by unscrupulous associates. During two years at the height of his career, he earned $140 million. The death of his child in such an unusual accident adds an awful chapter to the boxer's troubled life. Tyson first began boxing in a facility for juvenile delinquents in upstate New York at the age of 12. Eight years later, he became the youngest heavyweight champion ever when he knocked out Trevor Berbick in 1986. But in 1990, he was defeated by James "Buster" Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history, and soon after was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant in Indianapolis. Tyson, who still denies he raped the woman, served three years in prison. A few years later, he served three months in jail for beating up two men after a minor car crash in suburban Washington. As his career continued, so did his bizarre behavior. He bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear during a boxing match and once threatened to eat the children of heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis. Although Tyson's children had lived in their unassuming neighborhood for several years, he purchased a separate home in the tony Phoenix suburb of Paradise Valley in 2005 for $2.1 million, selling it two years later for $2.3 million. In November 2007, Tyson spent 24 hours in Maricopa County's "Tent City" jail after pleading guilty to one count of cocaine possession and one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. Police found the drug when they pulled over Tyson's car after he left a Scottsdale night club. According to police, Tyson said after his arrest that he bought cocaine "whenever I can get my hands on it." At Tyson's sentencing hearing, nearly a year after the arrest, his attorney David Chesnoff said his client had taken 29 drug tests without a relapse and was attending Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Tyson had become an example of how one overcomes problems with drugs, a violent past and poor upbringing, Chesnoff said. "He's tried his hardest," his attorney said, "despite coming from almost impossible beginnings." Associated Press Writers Bob Baum and Terry Tang contributed to this report.
