July 25, 2025 – Prince said himself and Hogan had always put “God first”.
“I have been very open. I had my struggles. I recently celebrated 17 years sober from an opiate addiction,” Prince said. ”He called me up earlier (into my recovery). He said ‘brother … you came to the blessing a few months ago. I think it’s time you became a blessing to other people and get out there and tell your story to (help) others. To get that from someone like him, a cultural phenomenon, to love me and support me.”
“I never forgot it.”
Despite more than 25 surgeries over the past decade, Prince said Hogan’s death was a shock.
“Hulk Hogan — you think Hulkamania lives forever,” Prince said, praising his legacy.
“He’s been very open about all the surgeries over the past 12, 13 years. There’s been over 20 of them. You’re always nervous and there were a couple of close calls (with his health).
