Solo Sikoa Rejects Rap Collab With Rikishi After Jacob Fatu’s N-Word Controversy

Solo Sikoa’s entire family loves making music, especially his father Rikishi. However, Solo’s made it clear he really doesn’t want to rap with his dad after the n-word controversy with Jacob Fatu.

While speaking to Adrian Hernandez, Solo Sikoa was asked if he would ever collaborate on a music track with his father Rikishi, given Rikishi’s reputation for music. Sikoa brought up the time Jacob Fatu recorded a track with Rikishi, referencing the controversy that followed when Jacob used the n-word in the song.

The WWE United States Champion made it clear he has no interest in following that path, saying he’d rather stick to wrestling. For Solo, rapping isn’t his thing and he doesn’t want to risk saying the wrong thing and creating trouble.

“Jacob did. Jacob got on the track and we all know how that went. Nah, I’m just gonna stick to wrestling. Rapping’s not my thing. I don’t want to get on there and say the wrong thing, you know what I’m saying?”

Earlier this year, Jacob Fatu released new track called “Hello” and it featured his uncle Rikishi. However, it got tons of backlash due to the fact that Fatu dropped the n-word multiple times throughout the track and that really bothered fans. Regardless, it’s understandable why Sikoa doesn’t want to get involved in any controversy himself, so fans shouldn’t expect him to rap anytime soon.
