Lil Yachty considers full-time WWE career over music

Rapper Lil Yachty has expressed a desire to transition into a full-time career with WWE, stating he may stop releasing music albums if he secures a permanent role with the company. In a recent interview with Complex, Yachty noted that the discipline and structured schedule required for WWE television segments are more demanding than his music career.

Yachty indicated that he is willing to trade recording studios for the wrestling ring, even committing to performing high-risk moves until his physical capacity is exhausted. He suggested that if he can climb the professional wrestling ranks and achieve his desired financial goals, he would leave the music industry behind entirely.

The rapper has already made several appearances on WWE programming, including appearing on SmackDown alongside Trick Williams in April and making his in-ring debut against Baron Corbin on Sunday Night’s Main Event in September.
