Legendary rapper Lil Wayne has name-dropped Brock Lesnar in his latest album, Tha Carter VI. The Beast Incarnate is currently absent from WWE television, as he is embroiled in a lawsuit filed by former employee Janel Grant against Vince McMahon and the Stamford-based company last year.
Lesnar's latest in-ring outing was against Cody Rhodes at the 2023 SummerSlam Premium Live Event. He lost to The American Nightmare in their trilogy bout and hasn't been on WWE TV since the loss.
Meanwhile, Wayne is no stranger to WWE. At WrestleMania XL, the rapper accompanied Jey Uso during The YEET Master's entrance ahead of the 39-year-old's match against Jimmy Uso. In Tha Carter VI, the 42-year-old megastar name-dropped The Beast Incarnate in the eighth track, titled "Cotton Candy." The track also features rapper 2 Chainz.
"F*** her like a wrestler, Brock Lesnar," the verse read. [H/T: Ringside News]
WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi recently discussed the idea of him vs. Brock Lesnar
Oba Femi has taken WWE by storm ever since debuting in the company. The Ruler is the reigning NXT Champion. He recently discussed the idea of a potential match against Brock Lesnar.
Speaking on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, the 27-year-old stated that a match between him and Lesnar would be worthy of headlining any premium live event.
He said:
“It’s going to be carnage. Yeah, it’s going to be carnage. It’s one of those things you have to see because you can’t explain what it’s going to be. I think Oba Femi versus Brock Lesnar sells tickets. I think it’s the main event of whatever show it’s going to be on, and I think it’s going to be incredible.” [H/T: EWrestlingNews]
Throughout his illustrious career, Lesnar has shared the ring with some of the greatest professional wrestlers in the industry. He has faced John Cena, The Undertaker, Triple H, Goldberg, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, Kurt Angle, and multiple other major names in marquee matches.
Lesnar's WWE future remains doubtful, but nothing can be officially confirmed at the moment. Despite his absence, he has been referenced and name-dropped on multiple occasions on the company's weekly programming.
