In a surprising turn of events, WWE’s Karmen Petrovic has found herself at the center of a heated debate after taking sides in the ongoing feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The controversy has been brewing on social media, with the Toronto-based rapper and the Compton-based artist trading bars and diss tracks. Petrovic, a relatively new face in the WWE, has sparked a firestorm by publicly declaring her allegiance to Drake.
The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar reached a boiling point last month, with both artists releasing tracks aimed at each other. Drake dropped “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle” in response to Lamar’s “Like That,” released in March. The feud escalated further with Kendrick’s “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA,” prompting Drake to respond with “Family Matters.” However, Lamar quickly fired back with “Meet The Grahams” and “Not Like Us,” leaving many to wonder who had the upper hand.
Petrovic’s comments, in which she questioned some of Lamar’s allegations against Drake, including claims of having an unnamed daughter and running a pedophile ring, have sparked outrage among fans. While she did admit to supporting Drake due to their shared Canadian heritage, some have criticized her for not taking a more neutral stance.
Despite the backlash, Petrovic’s involvement in the feud has brought her into the spotlight, if only briefly. The NXT wrestler has had a tumultuous career thus far, debuting in the Women’s Breakout Tournament last year but failing to secure a win in subsequent TV matches. Her most recent match saw her team up with Kelani Jordan to defeat Blair Davenport and Stevie Turner at a live event on April 14.
Before pursuing a career in professional wrestling, Petrovic was a martial artist specializing in karate. She was signed by WWE in November 2022 and has since trained at the Performance Center. While her foray into the Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud may not have earned her the desired attention, it has certainly made her a topic of conversation among fans and observers alike.
As the drama unfolds, it remains to be seen how Petrovic’s career will be affected by her involvement in the high-profile feud. One thing is certain, however: the WWE universe will be watching with bated breath as this saga continues to unfold.
