TV goofball and prankster Steve-O is embarking on a new career as a rapper and has challenged fellow hip-hop wannabe Kevin Federline to a rap battle to prove his talent. The former Jackass star has written a track attacking Britney Spears’ ex-husband for his new album Hard as a Rock.

He says that he wants to set up a lyrical battle with K-Fed, whose own rap career flopped after the release of his 2006 debut Playing With Fire.

Steve-O says, “I’m officially challenging K-Fed to a rap battle. It’ll be just like that scene from 8 Mile! I know that K-Fed has his ‘acting’ career and all, but if he’s a real man, he’ll step up and battle me!”

That’s too funny. Think K-Fed will respond? Or even battle with Steve-O?
