John Cena has shared his appreciation for Drake after the Canadian rapper mentioned him in his song Quebec, bringing together two familiar names from wrestling and hip-hop.
During an October 8 appearance on The Morning Show, Cena expressed gratitude for the reference and praised Drake’s creativity, songwriting, and lasting presence in the music industry.
The song features a lyric comparing a chrome belt to John Cena, a nod to the championship belts associated with his WWE career. Quebec first appeared in Drake’s September short film FOMO before becoming available on streaming platforms through the HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe release.
The moment also gave Cena an opportunity to reflect on his own connection to hip-hop. In 2005, he released his rap album You Can’t See Me, which included music tied to his wrestling persona.
Cena also spoke warmly about Canada, adding another personal connection to Drake’s musical reference.
The exchange highlights the long-standing relationship between professional wrestling and hip-hop, two worlds that have frequently crossed paths throughout Cena’s career.
