Lil Yachty Addresses WWE Rumors Regarding Ilja Dragunov's Release

Lil Yachty has addressed rumors suggesting that WWE released wrestlers such as Ilja Dragunov to make space for celebrities like himself. He made these comments during an appearance on the podcast 'Insight.'

The rapper noted that while WWE has introduced several celebrities into its programming, including himself and Logan Paul, he is not responsible for the departures of talented wrestlers. Yachty emphasized that he is not being paid enough to justify such claims and expressed his admiration for Dragunov's wrestling skills.

Yachty specifically praised Dragunov's performances, particularly his matches with Carmelo Hayes, and clarified that he has no influence over WWE's roster decisions. He reassured fans that the notion of wrestlers being cut to accommodate his presence is unfounded.
