Overview

• On the Sept. 2 premiere of Not This Again with Bobbi Althoff, Drake said his Instagram feed is filled with Rhea Ripley content and called the WWE performer his muse.
• He added that he is the opposite of what Ripley likes, a self-deprecating note cited in coverage of the viral exchange.
• Ripley has not publicly responded as of Sept. 3, and outlets noted she married AEW wrestler Buddy Matthews in 2024.
• Drake’s wrestling interest predates the interview, including attendance at WWE’s Elimination Chamber event in Toronto earlier this year where Logan Paul referenced OVO on-air.
• Elsewhere in the conversation, Drake described his ideal partner as a funny “goth baddie,” a preference media linked to Ripley’s goth-influenced persona.
