West actually cares about wrestling. He goes to shows all the time to enjoy himself. It has never never been for the look. He was doing it before the Netflix era when WWE constantly put celebrities and influencers in the crowd on screen and they never showed him any love back.
Westside Gunn, a major catalyst for marrying the worlds of wrestling and hip hop, spoke out on social media about how WWE has treated him despite his support:
For YEAAAAAARS I mean NOBODY w/ 2 feet has spent the amount of $ I have supporting and pushing a brand Iβve loved since I could remember, I sat front row at EVERY BIG SHOW literally, all the good times it brought to my life to the point when I started making music i incorporated in everything like WU TANG did karate, I made ppl who hated the product watch it again I made it look kool, when at the time ppl thought it was nerdy, Iβve watched that same company sit countless of ppl next to me whoβs not even fans fr and act like I didnβt exist, I was threatened to take everything out of my music which I only did to pay homage or my whole catalog would be demolished and everybody knows how hard I worked coming from Buffalo for me to get that threat for just supporting and being a real fan hurted me but I stayed quiet and still like a krazy man sat front row bc I loved the culture, I even just went viral for spending 50k on suites.. on my soul Iβve only been respectful, I tried having conversations with 1 individual bc heβs causing all of these unnecessary cases and tbh he hates seeing a young black successful entrepreneur that could afford those seats and have to watch those chains dance across that screen to the point Monday night raw starts at 8pm I was kicked out by 803 after spending 5k for a seat plus travel, hotel etcβ¦. in my own city for absolutely NOTHING!!!!
