Conor McGregor has a lot of celebrity friends, and he has paid tribute to one of his closest ones in a new Instagram post.
Aubrey 'Drake' Graham plays his third and final sold-out 3 Arena show tonight in Dublin, and the UFC superstar has wished him luck.
Drake shouted out The Notorious in his first gig, telling the Irish crowd that he had been given advice ahead of the show by McGregor.
He said in the post: "The first time I went to see Drake was with Bono.
"Drake is currently performing back to back to back, sold out shows in Ireland’s Point Depot. He has a La Ferrari swinging from the roof of it.
"I love seeing the videos from the arena and to Drake shouting me out I appreciate your continued support brother!

The Canadian superstar was spotted playing some basketball at the National Basketball Arena before heading to the nearby Eddie Rockets to cool down with a milkshake.
Drake superfan Claire Mason told Irish Daily Mirror: “I kind of saw the back of him when he was going in, there was a bit of a commotion or whatever.
“It was early, I don’t think Eddie’s was even open that long so I think it was about 12ish, afternoon.
“I couldn’t believe it. I was down in the area where he was earlier on, at the National Basketball Arena, and then I was like ‘ah no, it can’t be, but there he was just going by me."
