Former WWE star MVP recently clarified that he never called WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H is a racist.
In June, MVP responded to a handful of social media posts about The Hurt Business and how Triple H turned down putting he group back together. Fans had a belief on what MVP’s replies meant and he now wants to set the record straight on those who said MVP called Triple H “racist.”
“It made the rounds that ‘MVP said Triple H was racist.’ I never said that word. I never said that. You show me the quote or the caption where I said that. Somebody made a comment on my social media about how he books black talent. I just said, ‘Ah, you see it.’ I never said he is racist. I never said that. That was never anything I said. I want to make that very clear. If you’re watching, you got that sound byte here first. I’ll go more into it on my podcast,” MVP said during a virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest.
He continued, “I didn’t say that. Now, my opinion on how he books talent of color, that’s a different conversation, but I never said the man was racist. Hulk Hogan is racist. He said it himself, ‘I’m a little bit racist.’ He said that. As far as Triple H, I don’t know that he is. I don’t know what his motivations are, but I never said he was racist.”
MVP departed WWE during the summer when his contract expired. He is set to compete against Josh Barnett at an upcoming Bloodsport event.
