Randy Orton is a fan of female rap.
During Celtic Warrior Workouts with Sheamus, Orton mentioned that he's a fan of rappers like GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion. Speaking to Carl Lamarre of Billboard, Orton elaborated on his love of female rappers.
"I think it’s a little bit of a lot of things, man. These women can f–king rap. It’s a little risqué, and I’m bumping it loud. I have a nice system in my home gym and when I’m working out, I’m playing Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, GloRilla, KenTheMan, every one I name [from the Sheamus workout video]. Baby Tate, Nicki Minaj, Bia.
"There’s a rapper from Italy and she was at the show. I didn’t meet her or anything. They just went to her and did a live shot. I forget where we were in Italy, but her name was Anna Pepe. I looked her up and she’s great. I put her on the playlist. There’s a Spanish girl. Snow Tha Product. There’s always a bad-ass bassline in the back. It’s just fun to workout to, but I like a little bit of everything, too. I grew up on classic rock. My dad used to have that playing. Zeppelin, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Styx, Rush, but then in high school, Nirvana, Metallica, all that s–t.
"My first rap cassette tape that I got, I was like 11, 12, 13, early ’90s, was LL Cool J, “I’m Bad.” [Starts rapping] ‘No rapper can rap quite like I can/ I’ll take a muscle-bound man and put his face in the sand,” I remember going to bed listening to that s–t and just fell in love with it. 2 Chainz, Lil Wayne, Kendrick, Mac Miller, Eminem and there’s so many different artists on the playlist that sometimes I’ll throw Pandora on and I won’t even know who I’m hearing, but I’m digging it. I love a little bit of everything, man."
Asked for his Mount Rushmore of female rappers, Orton replied, "I think Cardi and Nicki have to be up there. F–k. Megan and GloRilla."
Orton said Sexyy Red would be the fifth on his Mount Rushmore.
Orton is set to challenge John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE Backlash.
