In The Bayou With Tyrann Mathieu

Today on In the Bayou, Tyrann Mathieu remembers and honors the life of his father, Darrin “Cornbread” Hayes A powerful tribute to a father, mentor, and friend. Rest in Peace ❤️ youtu.be/UoDn4z1v7Rw

Tyrann Mathieu shares a proud moment he had visiting his father. “My daddy’s side of the dorm, you could eat ice cream off the floor, that’s how clean it was… I was absolutely proud to know my daddy was in charge of that. Every dude over there was respectful.”

Tyrann Mathieu tells the story of meeting his father for the first time. “For a while, that’s how I looked at it—like a badge of honor and something to be glorified—until I actually went to prison and saw the conditions my father was in. That was a reality check for me.”

The strength & grace shown by @Mathieu_Era in this episode is second to none. We all have suffered losses in our lives, and this episode is a reminder how we can celebrate those who have played a role in our lives, regardless of how complicated things get.

"Thank y’all for your support, your encouraging words, flowers, comments, letters—just everyone offering their condolences. I really do appreciate it, and I thank you guys. May God bless you all, and may God bless Cornbread." ❤️ — @Mathieu_Era

Tyrann Mathieu explains why he never had any soft tissue injuries during his playing career 😳 "Soft tissue injuries are based on you… it’s the way you eat, what you drink, how you sleep… I see some dudes who are out for four weeks and I’m like, ‘A hamstring? WTF is that?’"

Tyrann Mathieu reacts to the Chiefs signing Kenneth Walker III 🔥 “I always liked him… I played against him a couple of years ago. He took it 60 yards to the crib, and I was like, damn. When I watched him on tape, I knew he was explosive, but I didn’t know he was that fast.”

Tyrann Mathieu and Tyrell McCall each pick three of their favorite New Orleans cuisine dishes 👀 “Man, I heard some stuff on the internet. They’re talking about taking the baby out of the King cake… Keep the baby in the cake, man — there’s a whole tradition going on.”

Tyrann reacts to Travis Kelce returning to the Chiefs for his 14th season 😳 “For some guys, it means a lot to be able to walk away as a quote-unquote winner. For Travis too, he’s given that program a lot. He’s probably one of the biggest in the community guys on the team.”

Rest in Peace ❤️

Tyrann Mathieu reacts to the Rams making Trent McDuffie the highest-paid CB in NFL history 😳 “I think Trent’s a really good player — obviously an All-Pro, sticky in coverage… I think the Rams might play late into the season. They might go to the Super Bowl.”

Mac explains how Rakim inspired him not only as a rapper, but even earlier in the classroom 🎒 “I became a straight-A student because, listening to Rakim’s songs, I wanted to understand what he was talking about… and he’s who I patterned my writing style after.”

Mac reveals why he signed with No Limit and what Master P taught him about building an album 🔥 “I had never listened to No Limit music before signing with them… part of the reason I signed with them was that I wanted to stick out like a sore thumb.”

Mac explains how crack cocaine turned his neighborhood upside down almost overnight in 1986 😳 “Everything changed in 1986… I watched everything go haywire, and for me, my escape from that was writing raps.”

Despite a lack of physical evidence, prosecutors used Mac’s song lyrics to convict him on a 30-year manslaughter charge 😳 “I really thought the whole time in court, man, this is bullshit. Them people ain’t buying that, because the songs they used were totally unrelated.”
