MVP sets the record straight by saying that he never said that Triple H was racist. However, he notes that his opinion on how Triple H books talent of color is a different conversation.
In June, MVP sparked some controversy when he wrote that Triple H said “no” to reuniting the Hurt Business. He wrote that he was not shocked that Triple H was not in favor of bringing the group back. MVP then left WWE when his contract expired, as did Bobby Lashley.
During a virtual signing with K&S WrestleFest, MVP brought up his comments about Triple H and clarified that he never said he was racist. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
It made the rounds that ‘MVP said Triple H was racist.’ I never said that word. I never said that,” he said. “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 On Triple H
MVP went on to say that his opinion about how Triple H booked talent of color was a different conversation.
“I didn’t say that,” he said. “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 recently provided an update on his knee after stem call treatment. Check out his comments here.
