O'Shea Jackson Jr. explains why he booed Hulk Hogan.
O'Shea Jackson Jr., the son of Ice Cube, is a passionate wrestling fan, and he hosts the "No-Contest Wrestling" podcast. He was one of the many celebrities who attended the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere. Among other memorable moments, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan was loudly booed when he addressed the crowd.
Speaking on Sway's Universe, O'Shea Jackson Jr. commented on attending the WWE Raw on Netflix premiere, and he was asked about Hulk Hogan getting booed.
“I was one of them. I’ll show you the video. Me, Eric Andre, and Wale was giving it to him [laughs]. Absolutely. [Asked why he booed] The n***a-hating. [Laughs]. The racism. It’s just hard to forget how detailed that rant was, and if you look up his rant, it’s very detailed. I get a lot of people online who are like, ‘Oh, he would mad if he found out about that whole generation.’ Yeah, well, when I find out, I’ll be mad. But right now, yeah bro, bringing him out here, what’d you think was gonna happen in LA? We heard the music, and it was like, ‘Ah, oh. Oh, no, no, no. Hold on.’ They let him have it. That’s a pivotal moment in wrestling history, and I’m glad I was there and I was able to show off the logo for ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera," Jackson said.
WWE suspended Hulk Hogan from the WWE Hall of Fame for three years after he was caught using racist language on a leaked tape. Hogan apologized for his comments. He later referred to them as a "speed bump" and "not who he was."
