Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has had a great professional relationship with Grammy-winning rapper Drake. The two have worked closely since the Canadian’s rise to stardom even working on some business projects together. Moreover, they even collaborated when Drake launched his OVO X Tyson hoodies which saw great success.
Thus, it came as no surprise after ‘Iron Mike’ came out to support his close friend following Drake’s arrest in Sweden. The rapper recently posted a dump of his Europe trip where he can be seen escorted by the police in the second slide.

Tyson shared a photo posted by Drake on his Instagram story. In the picture, the two can be seen standing together at a party. Moreover, this picture was included in the same post as the one where the footage of Drake was taken away by police officials. The post was meant as a recap of the year as the ‘Hotline Bling’ hitmaker also subtly detailed his plans for next year.
“The funds are useful, The lyrics are truthful, The suspects are usual, The opps are delusional, The finish line is beautiful And the disrespect is mutual. See you in 23” he wrote.
