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.
