DUBAI: Famous DJ and record producer DJ Khaled shared a video on Instagram on Friday of himself, alongside former professional American Boxer Mike Tyson, in Saudi Arabia’s Makkah city.
Khalid and Tyson are seen in the video praying in front of the Holy Kaaba and performing Umrah. The former heavyweight champion reportedly converted to Islam while spending time in prison in 1992.
“The second I walked in to [Makkah] tears came down my eyes. Tears of joy my whole life I wanted to go to [Makkah] to pray and to give my gratitude to Allah,” wrote Khaled.
