Metro Boomin and this popular WWE star are now working together.
Last year, ahead of the Bad Blood PLE, WWE released a promotional video of Cody Rhodes alongside music artist Metro Boomin. Soon enough, the 31-year-old teased creating a music video with one of the most popular stars on the roster, R-Truth.
Last month, after Truth’s emergence into his more serious Ron Killings character, Boomin approached the promotion about creating a music video with him. While the two sides were unable to reach a positive conclusion, a recent update has finally emerged. Yesterday, Truth uploaded an image of him with Metro Boomin on X(Twitter), raising eyebrows all around.
Earlier today, the artist responded to it on X(Twitter) and claimed that something was cooking between the two.
“Always been a dream of mine to cook with my childhood hero.”
A regular on the SmackDown roster, Killings recently defeated Aleister Black on the 11th July episode of SmackDown.
WWE Hall Of Famer Not Fond Of Celebrities In Pro-Wrestling
You have to be an athlete to be able to do it. And so, like for me, it’s always offensive, because I take the perspective that in order to have a celebrity take a spot on a wrestling card, everyone else has to work around them to make it look like just anybody could do it. And I don’t like that, because not everybody could do it… It’s always insulting, though, for me, like when people feel like it’s, like it’s easy, like we’re just playing, or like just anybody can do it.
I always will feel defensive about the fact that my career took an incredible amount of physicality, an amazing amount of durability to be able to take, you know, a s**t load of punishment on a nightly basis, besides having the talent to even pick up the timing and have cool moves and any of that. And so I feel like a lot of that just gets thrown out the window in order to fu**ing make, make this work.”
