John Cena and his theme song “my time is now” is a classic. Millions across the world, whether they’re a fan of WWE or not, recognize this song at the drop of a dime. Such is the craze and reach of this evergreen song sung by Cena himself. However, it seems the song doesn’t limit to the entertainment stream itself.

In the most uncanny news, the rainbow nation, South Africa, played the iconic song sung by Cena at the end of an economic freedom speech.

While no one can deny the pure stardom and fan base he enjoys, it’s still shocking to associate his brand of rap music being played with a social-political speech. But that’s what happened here.

In a video shared by Rap Music, Africa played the tune in a speech about economic freedom.

It’s certainly unprecedented for the WWE theme song to be played in a nation where Cena has hardly ventured. Furthermore, to make it more fascinating, Cena wasn’t present on the occasion, thus creating joy among people on social media with the iconic ‘You Cant See Me’ memes. 

While Cena has transcended borders to make a special appearance via his song, he’s making headlines for all the right reasons in his own country.

Cena’s Hollywood momentum touched an all-time high

John Cena is having a fantastic last few months as his movies have generated phenomenal buzz. His theatrical release, Barbie, is breaking records and paving its way at the historic $1 billion mark at the box office. 

To add to his glee, his recent release, with the legendary Jackie Chan, has been the No. 1 streaming movie on Netflix. Despite its struggle with the initial release, the movie has amassed over 22 million views so far.
