R-Truth, the WWE superstar known as much for his in-ring antics as his musical aspirations, is hoping to bring both to WrestleMania. The veteran performer revealed he has collaborated with acclaimed music producer Metro Boomin on a song and is actively pursuing the opportunity to perform it live at WWE’s biggest annual event.
The revelation came during an appearance on the “Nikki & Brie Show,” where Truth described the collaboration as a potential “jackpot” moment in his career. “I know y’all know who Metro Boomin is right? Future’s producer. He and I got a song. We done it already and that would be dope to do WrestleMania,” Truth stated, according to Wrestling Inc. “And we talked about it a little bit, performing at WrestleMania would be almost like I hit the jackpot. You’re looking at somebody who came from a pipe dream… to come full circle now to where we’re talking about I’ve done so much good music, to perform at WrestleMania would be like almost the chef’s kiss.”
This isn’t a new venture for Truth, whose real name is Ron Killings. Before achieving fame in professional wrestling, he pursued a career as a rapper. He has consistently incorporated music into his WWE persona, famously rapping his own theme song, a tradition that has become a signature part of his character. However, a performance alongside Metro Boomin at WrestleMania would represent a significant elevation of his musical ambitions.
Metro Boomin, a highly sought-after producer known for his work with artists like Future, Drake, and 21 Savage, has demonstrated a clear affinity for professional wrestling. He has previously appeared in WWE promotional material, including vignettes with Cody Rhodes leading up to the Bad Blood event in 2024. He has also publicly expressed interest in producing theme music for WWE superstars, suggesting a genuine appreciation for the sport and its presentation. His willingness to collaborate with R-Truth underscores this connection.
The timing of this announcement comes after a period of uncertainty regarding Truth’s future with WWE. Earlier this year, reports surfaced indicating that contract negotiations had stalled, leading to a brief departure from the company. However, Triple H, WWE’s Chief Content Officer, clarified in a recent interview that the situation was a strategic maneuver intended to encourage further dialogue with Truth. According to Triple H, WWE allowed Truth’s contract to lapse in the hope that it would prompt him to reconsider the terms offered, rather than a deliberate attempt to sever ties. Truth subsequently announced his departure on social media, a statement Triple H described as inaccurate, emphasizing that he was never actually fired.
While the details surrounding the song with Metro Boomin remain scarce, the potential for a WrestleMania performance has generated considerable excitement among fans. The combination of Truth’s established WWE fanbase and Metro Boomin’s widespread musical appeal could create a unique and memorable moment at the event. The prospect of seeing Truth, a performer who has seamlessly blended wrestling and music throughout his career, take the stage at WrestleMania alongside one of the industry’s most influential producers represents a compelling narrative.
Truth reflected on his journey, noting that he lacked direction early in his rap career but found purpose and fulfillment in professional wrestling. “I didn’t have much direction in life when I burst onto the rap scene, but was glad that I fell in love with professional wrestling, as music was the only other career path that he envisioned for himself,” he explained. The possibility of performing at WrestleMania, he added, would be a culmination of his dreams.
As of , the release date of the song and confirmation of a WrestleMania performance remain unknown. However, R-Truth is clearly determined to make his musical ambitions a reality on the grandest stage of them all. The collaboration with Metro Boomin, coupled with his long-standing connection to music within the WWE universe, positions him for a potentially groundbreaking moment at WrestleMania 42.
