WNBA star Kahleah Copper reacted to a viral video of rapper Lil Yachty in an awkward moment holding an extra-large hotdog sandwich while attending a WWE event.
The Phoenix Mercury wing player shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) of the “Peek a Boo” artist trying to act like the XL hotdog in his hands was not his while hip-hop superstar Drake took pictures of him while holding it.
Copper had a five-word reaction to it, inquiring:
“When the next WWE event?”
Kahleah Copper and Lil Yachty are no strangers to each other, sharing a common friend in photographer Joe Pinchin, who like the WNBA champion hails from Philadelphia. Both have had their photos taken by the lensman.
The next WWE event is slated for April 19 and 20 for WrestleMania 41 at Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium. Will Copper and Lil Yachty be in attendance to catch it? That remains to be seen.
Kahleah Copper busy competing at Unrivaled

Apart from the competition and the chance to further shore up her game, Kahleah Copper said she was enjoying the bonding she is having with her fellow Unrivaled players, likening it to her experience in the Olympics.
“It’s what I enjoy the most about the Olympics. Many of us are going at each other’s necks for the entire [WNBA] season, and during the Olympics you get a really good chance to bond — and that’s the same here,” she said (via ESPN).
Entering the inaugural Unrivaled season, Kahleah Copper came off another solid campaign in the WNBA where she averaged 21.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 37 games. She was named to her fourth All-Star Game while landing a spot in the All-WNBA Second Team.
