Aside from the Run the Jewels co-founder, other attendees included Darius Rucker, Hulk Hogan, and more.
Flair wrote: “Thank You To All Of My Family & Friends For Coming Together For Such A Special Birthday Celebration! It Was A Very Sentimental Night For Me! I Am So Blessed To Be Able To Make These Memories With You All! Here’s To 75! WOOOOO!”
Killer Mike and Ric Flair’s relationship goes way back. Back in 2015, the ” SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS” rapper shared a music video for the aptly titled “Ric Flair,” a cut from the rapper’s 2011 solo album Pl3dge.
The video finds Mike walking through the streets of Los Angeles, rhyming and stealing, as classic clips of the wrestler are projected onto the city’s buildings. The song also features multiple clips of the popular monologs that made Ric Flair a fan favorite.

Back in 2023, the song provided the soundtrack for models strutting down the runway at the Li-Ning sportswear fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.
Footage of the performance was obtained by TMZ as Set appeared in the audience with a microphone and headed toward the Li-Ning stage after dapping up a fan.

In 2018, the wrestler used the song to walk down the aisle for the fifth time.
Flair’s wedding to longtime fiancée Wendy Barlow took place in Rosemary Beach, Florida. While the crowd waited for the ceremony to begin, “Ric Flair Drip” started blasting from the speakers.
Flair sauntered down the aisle dressed in head-to-toe white as the crowd cheered along to the anthem.
Way back in 2016, Waka Flocka Flame and the WWE Hall of Famer made a bid for the Presidency. In a hilarious campaign video, the two unlikely “running mates” talked about why they’d make better candidates than the two running – Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

Under the slogan #MakeAmericaWOOOOOagain, a very enthusiastic Flair struggled to pronounce Waka’s name while the aspiring POTUS laughed uncontrollably.
