Former AEW Tag Team Champion Max Caster has spoken out about the controversy that surrounded him in 2021, when he faced backlash for referencing American gymnast Simone Biles and the Duke Lacrosse scandal during one of his rap sessions on AEW Dark. The talented rapper faced severe criticism and was subsequently suspended by AEW honcho Tony Khan for several weeks.
In a recent episode of Chris Van Vliet’s Insights, Max Caster addressed the controversy, acknowledging the sensitivity of the matter. However, he also claimed that he received a “hero’s welcome” upon his return to TV. When asked if he had to run his raps by people after the Simone Biles reference, Caster acknowledged the error of his ways but refused to show remorse.
During the conversation, Caster was also asked if he often pushed the line during his raps. The AEW star stated that he doesn’t regret whatever he says during his rap sessions, adding that he finds his jibes “funny!” While he may not regret his words, Caster did admit that he is open to seeking input from those he trusts if he feels he is pushing the limits.
Caster’s comments have sparked debate among wrestling fans, with some applauding his candor and others criticizing his perceived lack of remorse. The incident has raised questions about the boundaries of comedy and what constitutes “going too far.” As Caster prepares to return to the ring, fans will be watching to see if he will continue to push the envelope with his raps.
Despite the controversy, Max Caster remains a beloved figure in the wrestling world, known for his sharp wit and clever rhymes. However, his recent comments have raised concerns about his ability to self-regulate and avoid controversy in the future. Only time will tell if Caster will land himself in hot water again, or if he has learned from his past mistakes.
