Mike Tyson didn’t come out victorious in his fight against Jake Paul and is now facing another bout — a legal one brought by producer Ty Fyffe who claims Iron Mike didn’t have permission to use his hip hop banger featuring Jay-Z, DMX, and Ja Rule in his promo video before the fight!!!
According to docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Fyffe says he’s the co-writer and producer for the 1998 track “Murdergram,” from Jay’s “Streets Is Watching” soundtrack.
Apparently, Fyffe was watching the placements too.
Once upon a time, Jay, DMX and Ja Rule were slated to record as a supergroup named “Murder Inc.” … Irv Gotti told the story several times before he died in February.
If The Murder Inc Album with DMX, Ja & Jigga would have happened it could have been legendary. The songs they did together were great.🔥🎤🎧💽 pic.twitter.com/h6y9dmqg3d— TonyDaDome (@TonyDaDome) November 26, 2023

The group never really materialized, but they managed to record a few songs together with “Murdergram” being one of them.
According to the suit, Tyson used the song in a post promoting the Netflix fight with Paul back in November 2024 … using the motivational music as he trained in the gym … but Fyffe says Tyson never got permission or paid him for the use.
He’s now going after Tyson for damages and an injunction to block him from using the song.
