The diss monitor battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar seemingly introduced the world collectively and held social media in a chokehold over the weekend with who received (It is Kendrick, proper?). Each males dug into one another with their singles and caught the eye of WWE Corridor of Famer (and self-proclaimed Heartbreak Child) Shawn Michaels.
Michaels made a profession out of bringing his in-ring rivalries into the “actual” world and for years was seen as skilled wrestling’s unhealthy boy with a fair worse perspective. Many years later, he clearly has been reined in and brought on a extra company position inside producing and training the performers over at NXT, WWE’s developmental model. He invited the rappers to come back on NXT to settle it within the ring, one on one.
The memes and reactions that adopted had followers fantasy reserving the state of affairs, some even calling for Booker T on commentary. Kendrick truly referenced HBK’s finisher, Candy Chin Music in his final hit, “Not Like Us.”
“Put the entire label on me, I’mma get ’em dropped. Candy Chin Music and I received’t go the aux.” With Lamar dropping that reference and Drake representing Razor Ramon by carrying a classic Dangerous Man shirt, the 2 have at the least some information of wrestling fandom.
In addition they would not be the primary set of hip-hop artists to set foot in a WWE ring. Dangerous Bunny set a precedent for rappers moving into the ring, and ultimately truly added to WWE 2K video games. There’s additionally Snoop Dogg who needed to make a save eventually yr’s Wrestlemania when Shane McMahon blew his quad. And we’re greatest left forgetting the entire Grasp P in WCW factor, teaming with Rey Mysterio.
As of this writing, neither Kendrick Lamar nor Drake have accepted the invitation.
