Hulk Hogan wasn’t welcomed by many of the fans who were at WWE Raw in Los Angeles last week and some of the celebrities in the crowd also showed their disapproval of the WWE Hall of Famer.
Hogan has faced significant backlash in recent years due to past racist remarks that resurfaced in 2015. These remarks, captured on a leaked audio recording, included Hogan using racial slurs and making derogatory comments about Black people.
This history was clearly on the minds of many in the audience at WWE Raw. O’Shea Jackson Jr. revealed in an interview on Sway’s Universe that he was among those who booed the WWE Hall of Famer.
“I was one of them,” Jackson said. “I’ll show you the video. Me, Eric Andre and Wale was giving it to him.”
On why he booed Hogan, Jackson said, “The n***a hating. The racism, bro. It’s just hard to forget how detailed that rant was. If you look up his rant, it’s very detailed…Bringing him out here, what did you think was gonna happen? We heard the music and it was like oh, hold on. They let him have it and that’s a pivotal moment in wrestling history. I’m glad I was there.”
Hogan is reportedly scheduled to appear on Saturday Night’s Main Event in San Antonio, TX.
