Nikkita Lyons Speaks About Drake Following Her On Instagram & Buzz Around Her Split-Legged Pin

Nikkita Lyons has shown she is a one-of-a-kind talent and the NXT 2.0 star aims to make the most of her marketability. Lyons spoke with Ryan Satin on Out Of Character and was asked if she expected all the viral buzz she got from her split-legged pin finisher, which still doesn’t have an official name.

“I thought maybe a little buzz but I was not expecting World Star, I was not expecting that reaction. I was blown away because it’s funny that it really was that pin that went viral. My finisher is the Tornado Kick, I did the split pin and it’s funny because I told the coaches ‘I just want to try this. I don’t know, it might work, it might get over, I don’t know.’ And it did and I was extremely surprised.”

Something else that surprised her was the that the hip-hop artist Drake follows her on Instagram.

“I actually had a friend of mine DM me and he was like ‘Hey, Drake followed you, that’s cool,’ and I was like what?” Lyons said. “I didn’t even know until my friend told me and I was like oh my gosh, when did this happen? I didn’t even know because I had been following him as an artist for the longest time and being an artist, every song that he touches is a banger. My goal as a female artist as well is also to do that. I feel like that was a manifestation almost, it felt like being a step closer to that possibly happening if that makes sense.”
