"[Roman and I], we were riding together a lot. He was dictating, critiquing all of my music," R-Truth revealed. "He's actually one of my executive producers helping me fund a lot of stuff. He has his hands in my music. I played it in the locker room for all the new talent in NXT, AOP, Kevin Owens, Street Profits, Natalya, Sasha Banks, the catering people, the makeup people [and] the production people."
WWE has helped R-Truth promote his hip-hop career by covering it on his WWE 24 special. He shared a story of playing his music to Vince McMahon and McMahon's reaction to it.
"I haven't in a while. I have, and I [did]," R-Truth stated. "I take my Bluetooth speaker in his office. I say, 'push play right here,' and he'll take it back and he'll listen. He's a fan of Ron Killings. He's a fan of R-Truth. He's a fan of my creativity.
"I remember one song I did called 'Right Time'. I went and performed it for him after he did a production meeting, and I was like, 'hey boss, you got two minutes? Let me do this song for.' I did, and was like, 'I think you should perform a song tonight.' I went out there before the show started performing the song. He's that open to stuff. He's 'Vince McMahon,' but he's Vince McMahon (R-Truth pounds his chest)."
