Watch your back, K-Fed! Steve-O, the outrageous, tattooed star of the Jackass movies has his targets set on a new career — rapping! And Steve-O’s first order of business is declaring war on Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Kevin Federline!
“I’m officially challenging K-Fed to a rap battle," Steve-O tells OK! about the diss track calling out Brit’s baby-daddy on his upcoming album, Hard as a Rock. "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!”
Some of you with keen memories may recall a very brief time in 2006 when K-Fed attempted to launch a career as a hip-hop star with his solo debut, Playing With Fire, which was released one week before Brit filed for a divorce from Kevin and which yielded such hit songs as… well, no hits actually.
Let’s just hope Steve-O’s album fares slightly better.

Kevin Federline’s first attempt at musical stardom, the ill-fated hip-hop CD Playing With Fire, was one of 2006’s most notorious failures. Not only was the record met with universal critical disdain, its release came only days before his then-wife Britney Spears filed for divorce.
And according to a story on Eonline.com, while this ego-shattering experience has — at least for now — convinced K-Fed that he’s not going to be well-received as a hip-hop artist, the former backup dancer hasn’t given up on a career in music and is now focusing his energy on working behind the scenes.
"Kevin has been actively producing, nurturing new artists and doing it all from his home studio so he can be there for his kids whenever they need him," E! quotes a source close to Federline as saying. "He loves the music business and is committed to making it a career for himself, even if it’s not as a singer."
Meanwhile, lawyers for K-Dog will be back in court on Monday for a hearing to determine whether or not Brit-Brit’s visitation rights for the ex-couple’s two young boys will be reinstated or remain suspended.
