And then there was always the summertime where I was working out every single day, you know. 'Cos I didn't had, I didn't had no school, no nothing, and dind't had no practice, no nothing so...
(Ronnie Coleman Interview: "No One Trains Like I Did" | Iron Cinema; YouTube)

Would you be so kind as to tell me whether he says 'I didn't had'?

Thanks.
 
It's grammatically incorrect, as I'm sure you know. Grammatically, it should be "Cos I didn't have school". It might be down to dialect.

Edit: I've just watched the video. Actually, he corrects himself. He says "I didn't had ... I didn't have no school or nothing ... and didn't have no practice or nothing".
