Drake, Leave Rhea Ripley Alone
Briefly

Drake named WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley his "muse" during a podcast, saying his For You Page is "just all Rhea Ripley." He added that he is "the opposite of everything that she likes" and later said he feels his destiny is to "wind up with a goth baddie with just absolute O-cups." Celebrity involvement with wrestling is often celebrated, but Drake's comments drew skepticism. Rhea Ripley is a two-time Women's World Champion, an Australian performer Demi Bennett known as a goth heel, and is widely praised by WWE leadership as exceptionally popular.
In the premiere episode of Althoff's new podcast, Not This Again, Drake mentioned that WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley is his "muse." Now, most of the time, a celebrity involving themselves with professional wrestling is cause for celebration. Bad Bunny hosting Backlash in Puerto Rico? Absolutely. Yes. Sign me up. Jelly Roll getting into the ring with Randy Orton? Delightful. Michael Che and Colin Jost popping up at WrestleMania? Sure! But this from Drake? No thanks.
The subject came up when Drake was trying to find Tyga's Instagram page. "My FYP page is just all Rhea Ripley," he told Althoff, who replied that she doesn't know who that is. To Drake's credit, he did follow it up with, "I'm the opposite of everything that she likes." But then he said, "I really feel like my destiny is to wind up with a goth baddie with just absolute O-cups." Sure, Drake.
Ripley, an Australian wrestler whose real name is Demi Bennett, made a name for herself in the WWE as a goth heel. She's currently one of the company's top performers; in the Netflix documentary WWE: Unreal, WWE chief content officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque told Ripley, " You're not one of the most over women here ... you're one of the most over people here."
