Killer Mike was among those in attendance to help legendary wrestler Ric Flair celebrate his 75th birthday in Atlanta.
Aside from the Run the Jewels co-founder, other attendees included Darius Rucker, Hulk Hogan, and more.
Flair via X (formerly Twitter) handle, 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.
The Atlanta Grammy winner isn’t the only MC with a Flair fascination.
Offset famously has a track with Metro Boomin called “Ric Flair Drip,” which was featured on the duo’s album Without Warning. Ric Flair played a starring role in the accompanying music video.
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.
