Several rappers have shared stories about how they could have taken different career paths before eventually settling on their respective professions. Sexyy Red recently added her name to that list.
During a recent interview with Dazed, the Fat Juicy & Wet rapper revealed she could have been a professional wrestler as the WWE offered her a permanent contract. She, however, said that time constraints prevented her from having adequate training, so she opted to take a cameo role.
In May 2024, the 26-year-old Missouri rapper, born Janae Nierah Wherry, made an appearance at a WWE NXT event. She also shared a backstage video of her and WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels vibing to his Sexy Boy theme song.
