Zilla Fatu’s Mother Accuses Rikishi of Turning His Back on Umaga’s Family in Profane Rant

Zilla Fatu’s mother went scorched earth on Rikishi following the WWE Hall of Famer’s disrespectful comments towards her son and late husband, Umaga.

In a series of videos on TikTok, Zilla Fatu’s mother went after Rikishi. She questioned why Rikishi didn’t help or give advice to her son, especially after her family helped Rikishi’s sons get started in wrestling. She said her own family was betrayed by people who were supposed to be family.

Fatu’s mother explained that it was actually her idea to bring in the Usos because she thought they had potential. Umaga agreed, and they both helped the twins get started. She said Rikishi didn’t help at all and instead got jealous. According to her, the twins lived with her for about nine or ten months.

During that time she cooked for them, made their shakes, took them to the gym and then her late husband drove them to Booker T’s wrestling school. She said all that work paid off when they got signed to WWE in less than a year, but that’s also when jealousy started in the family.

“Yeah, it’s sad. But where were you at? Did you give any advice to my son? After we put your kids up, after we helped your twins get up there? Your own f****** family can f*** you over.

I’m the one who said, ‘Go get the twins.’ Twins are handsome. I think we can pull this off. And then he [Umaga] said, ‘Okay, let’s go get them.’ And that’s what the f*** we did. Where was their dad at? He never did s*** and he got jealous.

How many months were the twins here? Nine f***** months they stayed with me. Nine f***** months. Nine to ten months and they got their development deal. Why? I was cooking every day, every morning, making shakes, taking their asses to the gym, coming back home, showering, then my late husband took them to Booker. Come on, man—same thing, same s***. Grind, grind, grind!

What happened? They got development deals in nine to ten months. And that’s when his brother got jealous of him.”

Zilla’s mother said she doesn’t speak to her in-laws anymore since Umaga passed away. She accused them of making money off his death and turning their backs on her. She feels hurt by the whole family, especially Rikishi, and said she wants to write a book one day to share her side of the story.

Even with all that, she said she still respects and gets along with the Usos and also with Journey and Jacob Fatu and their parents. Her main issue is only with Rikishi, who she said talked badly about Umaga after he passed and couldn’t defend himself.

“I don’t talk to my in-laws. Ever since my late husband passed, nothing. But what did they do? Made money off my husband when he died. Y’all wanna talk s***? They made money—let’s be real. They did me wrong. Yeah, his whole f****** family did me wrong. I need to write a book because I need to tell my side of the truth.

F*** his uncle. F*** Rikishi. I said it. I love Journey and Jacob and their parents. I’m still cool with the Usos. I never had any problem with them or their mom, or Jacob’s parents. It’s just this one—the stinkface—yup, it’s him I don’t talk to. Because he said a whole bunch of s*** while my husband wasn’t here. He can’t defend himself, so I will.”

Zilla Fatu’s mother was also angry about Rikishi’s comments saying Zilla Fatu needs to be in top shape to get into WWE. She said Rikishi never helped her kids and has no right to talk. Her message was clear: she doesn’t care what Rikishi thinks and believes he should focus on himself instead.

“He had to say that s***, right? On his podcast. That mother***** didn’t do s*** for me or my kids, man. Any of my kids. Rikishi wants Zilla Fatu to come to WWE in tip-top shape? F*** him. Tell him to go f****** run a f****** lap. Who gives a f*** what his uncle says?”

Even Zilla Fatu had called out Rikishi for disrespecting his late father Umaga, following Fatu’s TNA debut. Nonetheless, public fight has surprised many fans, especially since the Anoa’i family has always seemed very close in the wrestling world. No one knows if things will get worse or if they’ll make peace, so we’ll have to see if Rikishi will respond to what Zilla Fatu’s mother had to say.
