Nas, Fat Joe & N.O.R.E. Among The Many Guests At Raekwon’s Star-Studded Wedding

Raekwon may be currently basking in his post-wedding glow, but he recently made headlines when former Jackass comedian Steve-O unearthed some never-before-seen footage of The Chef threatening him with life and limb over an ill-advised tribute to the late, great Ol’ Dirty Bastard that he deemed “disrespectful.”

Steve-O said it all began when he was arrested for multiple felonies in 2002 and was held in the same Los Angeles jail cell previously occupied by ODB, which was a “big deal” for him as he “loved” the late rapper.

“[ODB] was the king of not giving a fuck, way before Kanye did it,” the 49-year-old comedian said.

Steve-O then recalled watching Ol’ Dirty Bastard perform in New York City two years later and being blown away by his on-stage antics, which included being “on stage with his pants down, dick out, smoking a huge blunt of PCP” before nodding off in front of the crowd. “I just thought, ‘That is my hero,’” he remembered.

After ODB passed away in 2004, Steve-O said he struck up a friendship with Method Man and spoke to both Meth and RZA about his idea for an ODB tribute during the Wu’s aforementioned Rock The Bells set.

Once the Wu and Steve-O were onstage, ODB’s mother, Cherry Jones, was brought out. Steve-O then got on the mic and told the crowd about being in the same jail as the late rapper before executing the comical tribute — which didn’t go down well with Raekwon.

“All of a sudden, Raekwon stops the show completely,” the former MTV star said. “He grabs me by my neck and drags me to the front of the stage.”

The video then cuts to footage of Rae with his hand around the back of Steve-O’s neck and telling him: ‘I didn’t appreciate that, and I’ma tell you right now in front of all these people, you gonna apologize or I’ma knock you out in front of all these people. ‘I’m not playing, straight up, that was disrespectful. I’m ready to fuck you up, so you better apologize right now. And I’m going to jail, straight up.’”

Steve-O quickly obliged and apologized to both the crowd and ODB’s mother, saying: “I honestly did not mean any disrespect. I came here because I love Dirty.”
