While he had fondly talked about his love for pro wrestling and how he was eager to make these appearances, it wasn’t all well-received backstage. During a recent interview on TMZ’s Inside The Ring podcast, former WWE superstar Chris Masters was asked whether he had any stories from Diddy’s visits to the promotion.

Masters said he wasn’t there, but from what he could recall, the rapper made a bad impression backstage.

“He just made a bad impression on the boys. I wasn’t there, from what I remember. I don’t know where I was, but I wasn’t there. But yeah, he just made a bad impression, because everybody just thought he was kind of full of himself,” he said.

He pointed out that Diddy had an assistant to carry his prized sneakers backstage, and this was something that may have rubbed some wrestlers the wrong way.

“Diddy apparently had gotten some really exclusive, rare- I don’t know if they were Jordans or something- but he had his assistant carrying them around on this fluff pillow, just trailing behind him the whole day. Say what you want about wrestlers, but to them that just came off as a bit too much.”

Paul Heyman praised rapper for his commitment to WWE

On the road to WrestleMania this year, WWE came under fire for its overuse of celebrities. But there was an exception.

Grammy-nominated rapper Lil Yachty was also involved in a storyline on SmackDown, siding with Trick Williams during his feud with Sami Zayn, leading up to their match at WrestleMania 42.

After accompanying Williams at the showpiece event in Las Vegas, Yachty announced on the April 24 SmackDown that he will be staying around. Paul Heyman responded to this announcement and praised the rapper.

The Wiseman addressed the controversy around celebrity involvement in WWE but praised Lil Yachty for showing respect to WWE, saying he’s a credit to the concept of “crossover into our business.”
