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