Actor O'Shea Jackson Jr. revealed that he booed Hulk Hogan at a recent WWE Raw event, citing the wrestler's past racist rant as the reason. Jackson, known for his portrayal of Ice Cube's son in the biopic 'Straight Outta Compton,' expressed his disappointment in WWE 's decision to bring Hogan back, considering the severity of his previous actions. \In a YouTube interview with Sway's Universe, Jackson stated, 'The racism, bro. It's just hard to forget how detailed that rant was.
If you look up his rant, it's very detailed. I get a lot of people online who are like 'well, he would be mad if he found out about that whole generation!' Yeah, well, when I find out, I'll be mad. But right now? Bringing him out here? What'd you think was gonna happen?' \Jackson's comments stem from a 2012 leak of a sex tape featuring Hogan, in which he used racial slurs and made offensive remarks about Black people. The incident led to Hogan's temporary removal from WWE and a significant backlash against him. Jackson, who was in attendance at the WWE Raw event on Netflix, felt that bringing Hogan back after such a controversial past was a misstep by the wrestling organization. He believes that the impact of Hogan's words cannot be easily forgotten and that WWE's decision sends a damaging message
