Kyle Sandilands joins John Ibrahim for his 47th birthday

They have enjoyed a ‘bromance’ for a number of years.

And self-described ‘King of the Cross’ John Ibrahim celebrated his 47th birthday on Friday with his close friend, KIIS FM shock jock Kyle Sandilands.

The pair appeared in good spirits, despite a number of John’s family members and their mutual friends recently being taken into custody in relation to a multi-million dollar international drug smuggling crime syndicate.

They were seen shaking hands as they departed the Uliveto Cafe in Kings Cross.

Kyle was dressed in his signature ensemble, including a black New York Yankees hat, sweatpants and hoodie, with matching Nike sneakers.

His pal John preferred a more fashion-forward look, wearing double denim along with navy blue Chuck Taylor by Converse shoes.

Earlier this month, 17 people were arrested – including John’s two brothers and one of his sons – across three countries as part of Operation Veyda.

Kyle’s business partner Ben Scott and his former flatmate Nasser Elkordi also had their houses raided by the Australian Federal Police.

Ben, 38, and Sandilands are investors in the eight-part television series, Meet the Hockers, which premiered in May this year.

Ben, Nasser and John, whose Dover Heights home was also raided, have not been charged over the raids.

Kyle recently joked on KIIS FM’s The Kyle And Jackie O Show he had ‘no friends left’ following the police sweep.

He quipped he had been ‘ringing around yesterday trying to find a mate’, but all of their phones had been disconnected.

‘I’m gonna sit (in the café) today like a 90-year-old man when all his friends have died,’ he said.
