However, growing up, life was far from easy for the Brooklyn-born wrestler. In an interview with VLAD TV, he revealed how he found himself in an uncertain situation early on in life.

“My mother was pregnant at 15 and had me at 16. You know, my dad was a big-time drug dealer on the street during that time. And you know, my grandmother was the one that helped keep the family together. She was the main one that kept everything going,” he said.

D-Von mentioned that while he interacted with his biological father, he wasn’t really involved in raising him. He said it was his stepfather that guided him.

“The one who I call my father is my stepfather, Preston, and he didn’t come into the picture until a little later on, but that’s my dad,” he added.

D-Von Dudley was hurt by WWE legend Hulk Hogan’s racist comments

In 2015, a tape of Hulk Hogan using racial slurs leaked. This led to WWE firing him and removing him from the Hall of Fame before reinstating him a year later.

Speaking on VLAD TV, D-Von Dudley said he was hurt by Hogan’s comments since he grew up idolizing him.

D-Von mentioned that Hogan apologized to him and sought forgiveness during their interactions. The 53-year-old star said he told The Hulkster that he understands it was a bad moment for him and forgives him but won’t forget what happened.
