Overview

• In a newly surfaced clip from Not This Again with Bobbi Althoff, Drake says his Instagram feed is filled with Rhea Ripley content, calling the WWE star his muse and noting he is probably the opposite of what she likes.
• The remarks, recorded during Drake’s return to Althoff’s show, began circulating on September 2 as outlets including Fightful and ClutchPoints shared the video excerpts.
• Online reaction grew quickly as fans highlighted the unlikely cultural crossover between one of music’s biggest names and one of WWE’s top performers.
• Drake’s attention to Ripley predates the clip, with prior reports of him liking her posts and his attendance at WWE’s Elimination Chamber event in Toronto.
• There is no indication of a personal relationship between them, and coverage notes Ripley is married to AEW wrestler Buddy Matthews.
