Rapper Drake’s OVO brand teases WWE collaboration

Posted on by Joseph Currier

OVO — a brand founded by rap superstar Drake — looks to be announcing a collaboration with WWE later this week.

On its social media accounts today, OVO (October’s Very Own) posted an image of a WWE title belt draped on the turnbuckle of a wrestling ring. The image includes the WWE and OVO logos and the text “12.19.25,” indicating that an announcement is to come this Friday.

While not confirmed, the announcement will likely be related to the release of OVO-branded WWE merchandise items. OVO already has a relationship with Fanatics, which is WWE’s merchandise partner. Across all of the major sports leagues in the United States, OVO has produced clothing that is available to purchase on Fanatics.

OVO is Drake’s record label in addition to being a clothing line. Along with the partnership it has with Fanatics, OVO also collaborates with Marvel on merchandise.

The OVO x WWE collaboration would likely be similar to the one that WWE already has with Erin Andrews’ clothing company WEAR.

Drake attended WWE Elimination Chamber in Toronto this March but did not appear on camera. He is a fan of WWE star Rhea Ripley.

Shawn Michaels invites Kendrick Lamar & Drake to WWE NXT to settle rap feud

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Though it’s unlikely to be accepted, Shawn Michaels is offering Kendrick Lamar and Drake a place to settle their feud.

Lamar and Drake, two of the biggest superstars in music, have been engaged in a brutal rap war. They’ve been going back and forth releasing songs insulting each other. In one of them, Lamar made a reference to Michaels’ finishing move Sweet Chin Music.

Michaels responded to the mention in a tweet today, formally inviting Lamar and Drake to NXT so he can serve as a mediator and help them settle their issues.

“A little Sweet Chin Music goes a long way,” Michaels wrote. “@kendricklamar, you and  @Drake are formally invited to #WWENXT to settle this thing. I’m even offering my services to mediate.”

During their feud, Drake has accused Lamar of beating his wife and Lamar has accused Drake of being a pedophile. Drake’s latest song is a denial of the allegations Lamar has made against him.

Michaels, one of WWE’s greatest wrestlers of all time, is in charge of NXT. This Tuesday’s episode will include an NXT Women’s title match with Roxanne Perez defending against main roster star Chelsea Green.
