“This is the Floyd-Pacquiao fight,” Wack100 said on the No Jumper podcast. “It’s 15-16. I come out, we on the floor, me and my wife. We come out the seats, that’s why Mike’s there, we all turn around and we exit the same route.”

With Michael Jordan and his wife walking behind Wack100 and his wife, though, things got a little intense. He continued the story, saying, “I turn around, I look behind me, I hear a bunch of scuffling. I see a white dude in a suit, he’s deebo-ing motherf***ers. 

“‘Clear the way.’ So when he get to five steps from me, I turn on him. ‘Hey homie, you not finna go through me.’ He stopped, he had a gun in a holster. I said, ‘If you go for it, imma take it and break your motherf***ing jaw.'”

Wack then said Michael Jordan came up from behind them. And then explained what happened, saying, “I’m zoned in on the white boy with the gun… I don’t give a f**k about who this is. I hear Mike say, ‘Hey brother, what’s the problem?’

“Mike say, ‘What’s the problem?’ I say, ‘Listen, I’m a man like you a man. Either you gonna walk behind me or you gonna go around me. But he not coming through me. We gonna tear this motherf***er up.’

“Mike said, ‘You’re right, we’re going this way,’ and he walked around me. That’s all it was.'”
