Noting that he’s been “lucky enough to have bought her a few homes over the years,” Dwayne, 50, added, “but this one is special as she’s told me over and over these past few years, ‘After a lifetime of traveling, I want this home to be my last. That’s my dream.’ ”

“In her homes she always has her ‘Smackdown Room’ where she keeps the coolest Rock/DJ memorabilia, but over the years they’ve become insanely crowded,” he explained. “So for her new home, I had these cool built ins made and just added only a few memorabilia items – Posters, University of Miami game balls, movie awards, championship titles etc. Figured she can add whatever she wants from here.”
“This is her favorite room to bring guests to and it’s my least favorite because the last thing I want to do is stand in a DJ Shrine while people look around as my mom takes them thru at all the stuff I’ve done,” he quipped. “No thanks .”
However, Dwayne admitted, “But, truth is, when I’m BY MYSELF, these Smackdown rooms she creates have such positive energy and beautiful mana.”
“Always a good reminder for me to never forget where I came and always be grateful for grind,” he concluded. “Welcome home mom .”
