The range of WWE has stretched far and wide enough to reach the legendary rapper and singer Drake. With over 897k followers on Instagram, there’s one female WWE star that has got the fans’ eye rolling. What makes her unique is that she is the only WWE star to be followed by Drake.
Born as Aubrey Drake Graham, Drake seems to have an inclination towards the world of professional wrestling, especially Nikkita Lyons. He is often seen supporting the WWE star via his activities, following their common interest in the music industry.

However, what leaves a remarkable mark in the heart of the WWE Universe is the fact that Nikkita is the sole person from WWE that holds a place in Drake’s Instagram following list. On the other hand, Lyons had been a great fan of the ‘OVO’ and had been following him for a long time now.
How did Nikkita Lyons react to the news of Drake following her?
It is indeed a matter of honor for any star to be in Drake’s following and Nikkita Lyons is the only star to have achieved the feat. Talking to Ryan Satin in an episode of the Out of Character podcast, the WWE star revealed how she got to know about the same. Being so engrossed in the company, much of her social life stays away from her concerns.

Amidst this, she accomplished a feat that no one else has done in the WWE Universe. “I actually had a friend of mine DM me and he was like, ‘Hey, Drake followed you.’ I was like, ‘What?” said Nikkita. She wasn’t aware of it before getting to know about it from her friend. It would have been a surreal moment for Lyons to have achieved this milestone.
How does Nikkita Lyon feel about Drake?
Being a songwriter herself, Nikkita is well acquainted with the music industry. This probably might have helped Drake get on common terms with Nikkita Lyons and thus followed her on Instagram. After the news of his following reached Lyons, she went ahead to address the impact made by the ‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ star.

“Being an artist, every song that he touches is a banger. So my goal as a female artist as well is to also do that. I feel, like a manifestation for me almost, because it felt like being a step closer to that possibly happening,” said Nikkita to Ryan. With these comments, she also left the fans hyped up for a probable collaboration that the two may feature in the future.
