Lil Yachty responds to criticism of celebrities at WWE WrestleMania 42
Lil Yachty doesn’t want his WrestleMania moment to be stepped on.
Yachty was featured on WWE SmackDown on Friday, as he is now aligned with Trick Williams, who is preparing to challenge Sami Zayn for the United States title at WrestleMania.
Following Friday’s show, a user on X posted an image of the men’s WrestleMania poster, with the wrestlers replaced by Jelly Roll, Pat McAfee, IShowSpeed, Yachty, and Tom Brady. Yachty responded to the post, writing:
“i understand yall upset but don’t try and step on my f—ing moment, i’m at the tv screen every monday and friday religiously. i’ve been to more ple’s than most. i probably know more history than most of yall. who’s to say i don’t deserve to be apart of something i love so dearly?”

During an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive in January, Yachty stated his desire to perform as a manager in WWE, saying he believes he’d be good on the mic.
“I don’t think I’d ever want to wrestle. I’d want to be a manager because I’m really good on the microphone. I’m good off the spot. I can talk,” Yachty said.
