Despite
a tireless social media activity on the lead-up to the release of her
album, Rebel Heart, it seems that Madonna may have been hiding one of
her best surprises concerning the project.
Former
boxing champ Mike Tyson, 48, has revealed that his distinctive voice is
set to be featured on one of her tracks, called Iconic, after the pop
superstar, 56, invited him into the studio.
'Madonna
calls you and tells you to come somewhere, you go,' Mike, who famously
bit the ear of opponent Evander Holyfield during a 1997 bout, told Rolling Stone in a new interview.

Fighting
words: Mike Tyson has revealed that he appears on the track Iconic, from
Madonna's upcoming album, Rebel Heart, set to be released on March 9
'I
didn't know what the hell I was going there for,' he added. 'I'm just
there having a good time and hanging out with Madonna. She has her
producer there and I go into the studio and I didn't know if she wanted
me to talk or rap.
'I
just go in there and start talking. I'm talking about my life and things
that I have endured. I'm saying some really crazy stuff. It was really
intense.'
During
the interview, Mike, who appears on the track with Chance The Rapper,
proceeded to reveal that he drew inspiration from Italian fascist Benito
Mussolini.
Unpexpected inspiration: During his
interview with Rolling Stone, the former boxing champ also compared
himself to Benito Mussolini
He
explained of making the track: 'When I did it, I think about being some
guy like [Benito] Mussolini and they're really arrogant, but you try to
come from a positive perspective and be uplifting.
'You
watch Mussolini on television — even though we don't understand what
he's saying — he is so mesmerizing. I look at myself in that way.
'I
know people may say "this guy's a fascist" and all this stuff, but man,
you can take positivity from watching him. No wonder why Hitler was
attracted to him. This guy's a hypnotic figure.'
Grin and bare it: Madonna shared a pair of cleavage-baring shots on her Instagram account earlier this month
Pout-rageous: The star gave her followers her best come-hither poses in the filtered shots
Meanwhile,
Madonna has been staying active on social media ahead of her album's
March 9 release, and recently took to Instagram to share a pair of
selfies where her cleavage took centre stage.
Captioned
'I'm not gonna stop' and 'I deserve the best', the filtered images
showed the mother-of-four glaring into the lens in come-hither poses as
she wore a striped tank top.
Within
four hours of being unveiled, the pictures attracted a total of 45,000
likes and a seemingly endless stream of comments both praising and
criticising the star.
Respect: The star uploaded a shot of the protests, urging her followers to respect all religions and lives
'Ignorance breeds intolerance and fear': She became one of many to embrace the 'Je Suis Charlie' snap
The
photographs mark something of a change of pace for the star, who was
accused by many of social media of using the recent terrorist attack in
Paris to promote her upcoming album.
She
posted a series of photos to her Instagram to offer support after 12
people were killed in the gun attack on French satirical magazine
Charlie Hebdo's Paris offices.
But
as Madonna offered encouraging words in the captions for her social
media images, she also provided some hashtags which were in promotion of
her new album.
The
controversy comes on the heels of the pop icon likening the recent leak
of her album to a 'form of terrorism' - her comments coming just after
the world was left in shock following the Sydney Siege.
