Lil Yachty Says He Would Make WWE Run His First Priority If Given The Chance

In recent years, many celebrities have followed Logan Paul into pro wrestling, with the likes of Bad Bunny and Jelly Roll actually stepping into the ring. During an appearance on Paul's podcast, "IMPAULSIVE," rapper Lil Yachty expressed his desire to get involved in pro wrestling, albeit in a different fashion than Paul, Bad Bunny, or Jelly Roll.

"I'm always thinking about me and WWE...I would never want to wrestle; I'd want to be a manager, because I'm really good on the microphone," the rapper claimed. "Not only do I love [WWE], I'm so up to date and so into every storyline...I could be thrown in any part anywhere, and I'd know I could lock in."

Lil Yachty then proclaimed that he wouldn't let anything stop him from getting into pro wrestling, and even made it clear to his team that he'd make it happen. "I said that to my team, I was like: 'Yo, if the opportunity permits itself? Priority number one.' Because it's like... It would just be a dream come true to be able to be a part of an organization like such and see how it unfolds for myself," he said.

Despite this, Lil Yachty is aware of the realities of his fame in the rap industry, and pointed out that his success in music wouldn't necessarily translate over into the wrestling industry, suggesting he'd be honored to be recognized for WWE more than rapping. 

"It would be an honor, you know? It'd be an honor to f**king really lock in and like swap careers... I'd do it in a heartbeat," he expressed.

Lil Yachty then praised Logan Paul for his humility, expressing that he's too humble and needs a good manager like him. 

"I would pop it, you know? I can't outdo Paul Heyman, respect to the GOAT," he noted, expressing that Paul shouldn't worry about him at all, because he's confident that he'll make his way into WWE eventually, and sent out a message to Nick Khan via the podcast. 

"Let me get a ten-day contract, let me show you what I can do, then you decide," he expressed. "I'll take a chair shot to the back."
