MVP has clarified comments and reports that he said Triple H is 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 formed their own opinion on what MVP's replies meant, but he 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.
