Personal Life
Rison got involved with the late recording artist Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes when she was 22 years old. In June 1994, as told by her in The Last Days of Left Eye, the then-couple got into a physical altercation at Rison's Atlanta mansion. In response, Lopes threw the athlete's shoes into the tub with the intention of burning them, while keeping the blaze contained in the bathroom. It soon spread throughout the house, resulting in the loss of all his possessions. Despite the damage done, they still remained a couple. In 2001 he recorded a song with her entitled "Rags To Riches". Their relationship was off and on until her death in 2002.
