Mike Tyson Releases Soulja Boy Diss Track 'If You Show Up'

(Radio.com) Soulja Boy has had an interesting few weeks, feuding with Chris Brown and ultimately consenting to a celebrity boxing match against the singer.

On his response "If You Show Up," Tyson unloads his own profanity filled insults. The video contains a bevy of models and full-length audio of Tyson's fiercest burns: He takes swipes at Soulja Boy and the rapper's trainer, Floyd Mayweather.

"I'm Mike Tyson, the greatest ever /Mayweather, fairweather I seen your fights man /a lot of hype, man /And Soulja gon wish you never took the fight man." Watch the explicit video for "If You Show Up" here.

"How Not To" switches gears towards the end when the couple show up at a one-year sobriety party that Dan + Shay and their other friends throw them. Their love for one another helps them make it through their first year of recovery. "How Not To" appears on Dan + Shay's sophomore album Obsessed. Watch the video here.
