NXT’s Jakara Jackson Reveals Origin Of Her Lollipop Gimmick, Says There’s Layers To Its Meaning

WWE NXT star Jakara Jackson opens up about what her lollipop gimmick means to her.

While some performers utilize a sock puppet, others may opt for a purse. For her signature weapon, however, Jakara Jackson has chosen a lollipop. During a recent appearance on Casual Conversations With The Classic, the Meta-Four member explained the story behind her sweet treat, which now has its own protective case.

“When you see a lollipop, I want you to think of me,” Jackson said. “The beauty of it all is it just started out as just a sucker. And for me, it was like something to keep myself busy. But also, for my persona, if I ain’t got nothing nice to say, I’m gonna put my lolly in my mouth and I’m just going to not say it.

“For me, it’s a symbol as well. It’s like you see me, I’m cute, I’m sweet or whatever, but ain’t a damn thing sweet [about me], so it’s like a juicy contradiction. There’s layers to it. I see it as merch, I see it as a symbol. I see it as a weapon.”

Last year, Jackson auctioned off a lollipop of hers used in a WWE NXT live event match against Arianna Grace, with bidding beginning at $1,000. The sale has since closed.

Most recently, Jackson and Meta-Four stablemate Lash Legend faced Zaria and Sol Ruca on NXT, with the latter team emerging victorious.
