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.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“In the twentieth century one of the most personal relationships to have developed is that of the person and the state.... It’s become a fact of life that governments have become very intimate with people, most always to their detriment.”
—E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)
“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
