Drake has shocked fans with a revelation that blends the worlds of music and professional wrestling.

The Toronto rapper named the two-time WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley as his "muse" during the premiere episode of Not This Again with Bobbi Althoff.

While in the middle of a conversation about fellow rapper Tyga, Drake admitted Rhea had become the focus of his Instagram feed.

"I don't have data. I'm trying to pull up … I'm trying to pull up Tyga's Instagram," Drake explained. "My [For You page] is just all Rhea Ripley [...] She's a wrestler. She's like my muse, but [...] I'm the opposite of probably everything that she likes."

The comment, which can be heard at the 28:30 mark of the episode, isn't the first time Drake has signaled his appreciation for WWE.

In February, the rapper attended the Elimination Chamber event in his hometown of Toronto, sitting front row with Lil Yachty. During the broadcast, WWE Superstar and internet personality Logan Paul gave him a nod from inside his pod, writing "OVO" on the glass in reference to Drake's label October's Very Own.

Rhea's character on WWE programming is inspired by goth culture, which Drake brought up elsewhere in his chat with Althoff. According to Drake, his future wife will be "a goth baddie" that's "funny" with an O bra size.

Drake also explained that he has no qualms with the city of Los Angeles following his intense feud with Kendrick Lamar. He said the reason he hasn't been to the city is that he had just finished his American tour right before the feud kicked off.

"And so I got to do another one, you know, they don't happen like every [year]," Drake said.
