Lil Yachty says he is open to becoming a full-time WWE performer, and that he would be willing to step away from music entirely if his run with the company continues to progress. The two-time Grammy-nominated artist and producer made the comments during a sit-down interview with Complex, as first reported by Fightful and later corroborated by F4W Online.
“If I climb the ranks in WWE and get the checks that I want, this music sh*t can kiss me goodbye,” Lil Yachty told Complex, according to Fightful’s report on the interview.
Lil Yachty has become a recognizable presence on WWE television in recent months through his association with United States Champion Trick Williams, serving as a manager and ally to the champion on WWE programming. That on-screen relationship has given the rapper a direct foothold in WWE storylines beyond a one-off celebrity appearance, and his comments to Complex suggest he views the opportunity as something he wants to pursue seriously rather than treat as a passing novelty.
According to F4W Online’s account of the same interview, Lil Yachty described WWE as more “militant” than the music industry, a characterization that points to the discipline and structure he has encountered working within the promotion. He also told Complex that he is “trying to go full-time,” reinforcing the idea that his interest in a WWE career is not a fleeting comment but a stated goal he is actively pursuing.
Neither Fightful nor F4W Online reported any confirmation from WWE regarding a formal contract offer or an official full-time role for Lil Yachty at this time. His remarks reflect his own stated ambitions rather than any announced agreement, and it remains to be seen how his association with Trick Williams and WWE programming develops from here. For now, the partnership between Lil Yachty and the reigning United States Champion continues to be a visible storyline thread on WWE television, and his public comments add a layer of real-world intrigue to that on-screen pairing.
