Dennis Rodman makes bold Kim Jong-un claim as he admits to partying with Vladimir PutinDuring a stream with YouTuber N3ON, the former American basketball player recounted various private encounters with both Putin and Kim, describing the Russian leader as a "great guy". During the tell-all stream, Rodman said: "I know Putin very well.
"I've met him five times. He has his own hotel, his own Ferrari and Lamborghini dealership. He said, 'Dennis, do you want a Lamborghini?' I said yes, and I had it for a week."
The ex-Los Angeles Lakers star went on to discuss a series of extravagant dinners and meet-ups with Putin where the pair were surrounded by models, luxury goods and an atmosphere that was "straight out of a Hollywood movie".
One of Rodman's first experiences with Russia came in 2014, when the NBA All-Star travelled from the States as a 'basketball ambassador' at the request of the president himself. The 64-year-old also discussed his close friendship with the North Korean dictator, after meeting Jong-un at an exhibition game in Pyongyang.
Rodman claimed the world leader had expressed a desire to visit the United States, and saw the ex-athlete as an bridge of communication between North Korea and the West.
