Sexyy Red Makes Her Explosive Wrestling Debut On WWE NXT

by

Sexyy Red is continuing to ascend up the pop culture ladder. Her 2024 single “Get It Sexyy,” peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100, and her latest EP, In Sexyy We Trust, features a high-profile feature from Drake. It was only a matter of time before she crossed over into other arenas, and she did so, quite literally, into an arena on May 28. The rapper made her wrestling debut on a Tuesday night episode of WWE NXT opposite superstar Tatum Paxley.

Sexyy Red was shown to be in the crowd when the episode started, but nobody expected her to become a part of the storyline involving the NEW NXT Women’s North American Title. Red was introduced to the massive bass hits of her own music before she took the microphone and let the audience what was what. The rapper announced that she will the guest host of the upcoming Battleground live event. The event is set for Sunday, June 9, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. She also linked up with NXT general manager Ava to unveil the North American Title belt. She held the belt above her head and parading around the ring. It wasn’t all love for Sexyy Red, though.

Sexyy Red Will Host The Upcoming Battleground Event

The aforementioned Tatum Paxley showed up out of nowhere and tried to snatch the title from the rapper, but Michin showed up in time to stop her. Sexyy Red actually teased her appearance on NXT through X, tweeting that fans might get to see her lay down an RKO. She deleted the tweet, but fans were hoping she’d make good on her promise with Paxley. Sexyy Red didn’t get her hands dirty this episode. There’s a very good chance we could see her lay down her anticipated RKO when she hosts Battleground, however.

Sexyy Red has been trying to get on WWE for a while. The rapper tweeted at the organization back in October 2023 and asked, point blank, when she’d be invited. “I wanna see this happen fr,” she wrote in reference to a video of superstar Jay Uso. “When yal gonna invite me.” The Usos responded to her and told her they’d get her involved as a “special guest.” It took a little while, but it looks as though the made good on their promise. Sexyy Red has previously praised wrestlers like Trick Williams and the Meta-Four. We can’t wait to see what she gets up to in the ring.

On a recenrt episode of their sports talk show It Is What It Is, rappers turned sportscasters Camron and Ma$e explain ow they were offered the opportunity to walk Mike Tyson out in his upcoming fight against Jake Paul and why they turned it down.

“They offered us the walkout with Mike Tyson,” the Dipset head honcho said. “This was before this incident and I’m like, ‘I’m not sure if I want to do that.’ Now, I’m probably not going to do it.” Cam continued, “‘Cause I don’t want n-ggas blaming me for nothing when n-ggas don’t win. Like when Devin [Haney] lost [to Ryan Garcia], n-ggas said, ‘Why he wearing Balenciaga sneakers?’ […] If we walk Mike out and Mike don’t win, I don’t know if I need that type of pressure.”

The former Bad Boy rapper chimed in, suggesting that Tyson’s ulcer problem was a cope out for the upcoming fight, explaining, “I hope Mike is well […] but it sounds like Mike is trying to get a way out,” he said. “I know he shouldn’t need one but if they took him off this plane, we want to make sure he’s well. But are we having a fight or not? Is the fight still on? Before this, I had Mike winning the fight. Now, I don’t know.”

Cardi B Claps Back at Body Shamers While Eating Pancakes

Cardi B Claps Back at Body Shamers While Eating Pancakes

Cardi B hasn’t just been eating lately, she’s been eating her haters for brunch. The Grammy-winning artist took to Instagram live on Monday morning to address critics who had something to say about her appearance following a weekend performance at Drais nightclub in Las Vegas.

In the video, which was reshared by X user KollegeKidd, Cardi sits in a robe in what appears to be a luxury hotel suite while adding whip cream to a stack of pancakes and (rather sarcastically) saying, “I’m getting body-shamed. I’m so sad.”

“Everybody’s saying that I’m so fat, that my ass is so fat,” she continues with a mock cry as she cuts a bite of pancakes and continuing with “everybody hates me” before she pauses to chew and cut off more pancakes, dipping them into syrup. As she adds more whip cream, she sarcastically asks herself “what am I going to do?” before returning to her brunch.

Most X users were quick to come to Cardi’s defense, stating that she looked great in her performance while others noted that the criticism wasn’t about her weight, but about her reported plastic surgeries, which some claim have led to her body looking “artificial.”

Either way, she didn’t appear to be too upset and made no apologies for rocking a full-length bodysuit while performing over the weekend in Sin City.
