Mike Tyson has revealed that it was Benito Mussolini who inspired him to sing.
The retired boxing champ, 48, who's doing a vocal cameo on the upcoming Madonna song 'Iconic,' said that he drew inspiration from one of the most hated dictators of all time, for even though he was arrogant, it was mesmerizing to see him on TV and he looked at himself in the same way, TMZ.com reported.
He added that Adolf Hitler was not wrong in admiring the former Italian leader, because though he was considered a "fascist," one could take positivity from watching him, as he had a hypnotic figure and always spoke with pride.
Mussolini did "stuff with his hands and moving his head before it was even hip-hop," said Tyson.
