West is sharing his love of wrestling with a particular young fan.

Griselda rapper Westside Gunn is notoriously quite a big wrestling fan. He tends to pop up at wrestling events all the time often ringside for tapings of big events. But West isn't just about himself, he also wants to share those experiences with others. One fan in particular stuck out to him. "The reason I had even bought tickets for @aew tonight in Portland is bc I wanted to finally meet my Guy DYLAN.. DYLAN has Autism and he was introduced to me bc the love he has for wrestling, the kid knows it all and we became friends," West explained in a new Instagram post.

The New York rapper showed quite a bit of generosity in planning to meet up with his young fan to experience some wrestling together. Ultimately, he had a scheduling conflict prevented him from being able to attend himself. That didn't slow his generosity down though. "I had to handle something important in nyc and couldn’t make it but I still made it happ for him," West says later in the post. Attached is a picture of Dylan originally shared by his mother in a post thanking Westside Gunn for his support. Check out the rapper's post below.

And my husband and I could not be more grateful for all he has done for Dylan through the years," the young fans mom commented. "Cant spell Westside Gunn without a W," another fan agreed.
