Lil Yachty says he may leave music for a full-time WWE career
Lil Yachty says he wants to make wrestling his full-time career with WWE.
The rapper has appeared on WWE programming alongside wrestler Trick Williams and made his in-ring debut against Baron Corbin.
He says he could stop releasing albums if he climbs the ranks and earns the money he wants in WWE.
Yachty said wrestling demands strict timing and discipline, with performers given a short segment to reach viewers.
His match with Corbin helped Williams earn a United States Championship opportunity later that night.
Corbin later attacked Yachty on SmackDown, and Yachty has not appeared on WWE television since, according to one account.
Whether he joins WWE full-time remains uncertain, as his comments describe a possibility rather than a confirmed move.

I’d like to go full-time; I’m trying to go full-time. I won’t ever put an album out ever again.
If I climb the ranks in WWE and get the checks that I want, this music s–t can kiss me goodbye.
It’s a lot more militant and disciplined, and I love it
