Lio Rush was recently interviewed by “HipHopDX”. During the interview, he discussed becoming a wrestling fan, his music career and more. Here are the highlights:

On How He Became A Wrestling Fan:

I’ve always wanted to be a professional wrestler. And starting my life out in sports, I felt obligated to accomplish being a professional wrestler first before I did anything else that I was interested in.

On Trying To Balance Out The Negativity:

A lot of the times these rumors just get taken as facts because I feel like people are afraid or scared to tell their side. But I take pride in what I do and the things that I believe in. I don’t like my reputation being altered by dirt sheets [wrestling websites] or anyone who doesn’t know the full side of any story. And I just wanted to throw some positivity at the situation because everybody’s always trying to capitalize on the negative and make stories out of things that have no source or substance behind it.

On His Music:

I wanted to put something out there that was raw, something that was real, something that was emotional. I just wanted to be open and honest with my fans. I felt like this was definitely something that people could relate to given the current circumstances that I’m in right now.

There’s this stigma of doubt with professional wrestlers making a rap song. It’s always in the wrong direction as far as the content of the song. I just didn’t want to be associated with that.
