Max Caster has addressed his rap at Bound for Glory, which resulted in TNA cutting ties with the performer.
Caster made his TNA debut at Bound for Glory in a match against Moose. During his rap as he made his entrance, he used the line, “I drop bombs. You don’t even have to fly to Riyadh,” following deadly attacks in Saudi Arabia. On Monday, TNA stated it was dropping the performer.
Caster posted a video statement hours after TNA announced that they would be dropping Caster.
Just to address all the TNA stuff. I want to say thank you to Carlos Silva. I talked to him in person. He was very generous, very professional, even after all this stuff happened, and I understand why he did what he did. It’s his show. He’s got to protect TNA, and I went too far for him, so I want to apologize to him and everybody else in the office. I want to apologize to anyone who vouched for me to get that spot. I feel like I let those people down. Thank you to Moose for sharing your platform with me, and I wish things didn’t turn out the way they did, but I’m proud of that match, and I’m sorry for how things have ended up.
And then, for anyone who’s offended, I just want everyone to know that when I do these raps, it’s never to offend people. It’s only to entertain. So, in my mind, it’s entertainment value first, and then, if you’re offended, that’s your right. So, I can’t apologize for anyone being offended, but just know, it’s not my intention to make people upset. If it gets a reaction, I think I did my job. It was a very relevant part of the show and highly talked about, so I feel good about that, but the consequences of everything – I’m accepting that. I can accept the facts of that.
And then, to anybody asking if I’m good. I’m good. I’m just embarrassed by how all this happened. You don’t want it to be one match, and then that’s it, you get fired. But again, that’s the reality of the situation. I’m accepting it, and that’s life, and in life, sometimes you’ve got to man up and just accept it and move on. So, whatever’s next, I don’t know, but we’ll see. Thank you to everybody who’s reaching out and supporting.
Caster became a free agent earlier this month after his AEW contract expired.
