MVP explained that he once found a bag and took it to a guy who lived in the complex, who gave him a few dollars. The star said he was only around 8 or 9 years old, in third or fourth grade.

“I remember, I’m asking him about cocaine and it’s a grown a** man,” MVP laughed. “He was in his mid-20s. ‘Yeah, you know, you give yourself a little bump in the morning, get up like that, you’re ready to go…’ And he gave me like two dollars. Candy money for me, I’m going to get some Now & Laters. That’s kind of when I realized like, ‘Oh. Grown ups will pay if I find these little bags. There’s certain people I can go to and give it to them and they’ll give me some money.'”

MVP said that crack was also “ravaging” the community at the time. He remembered being a kid walking home from school and described the “dope stroll” of cars pulling up with guys running out to sell rocks or “whatever you wanted.”

“I’m telling you, I was eight or nine, and I saw kicks smaller than me that were playing dope stroll,” he said. “They had leaves from the trees and little pebbles and they were playing. They’re emulating what they’re seeing growing up. If I was eight or nine, they had to be four or five.”

The AEW star confirmed he’s been in contact with Dave Bautista and his production company to possibly create a movie about his wild life, but he knows it won’t be rated PG. The pair reportedly started talking about the potential movie back in October of this year.
