Mike Tyson’s silent gesture to Kanye West 

Kanye West and Mike Tyson crossed paths in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, where they posed together for several pictures. In one of the pictures, Mike Tyson made a finger-pointing gesture towards the Ye, as if to anoint the ‘Donda’ rapper as the undefeated rap icon on the planet. After the release of the upcoming Ty Dolla $ign and Ye collaboration, this might even be more transparent to the world. 

Mike Tyson’s presence in Saudi Arabia owed to the ultimate showdown of his student Francis Ngannou. Ye was invited to the match by Turki al-Sheikh, which led to his meeting with Tyson. However, as per reports, Ye was not in the Middle East to only attend a boxing match but also for his upcoming album. 

This comes in when J Prince was seen praising Ye’s work in Saudi Arabia, further fueling the speculations surrounding this album.

Any ardent fan of Kanye West would know that he has been preparing to drop two albums. One as a solo project and the other in collaboration. He visited American music executive, James Prince, in Saudi Arabia, to give him a sneak peek of the forthcoming solo banger. J Prince shared a post on his Instagram Handle with Ye, captioning it saying, “Nice listening to some of the new album with the homies in Saudi Arabia”.
