Steve-O laughs off Bam Margera's diss track and defends his skateboarding skills: 'I know you're upset that I've been doing so well'
Steve-O is pushing back against Bam Margera after his troubled Jackass costar mentioned him and others from the MTV franchise in a new diss track titled Feel Like Bam.
The TV star, 49, whose full name is Stephen Gilchrist Glover, defended his skateboarding skills in a clip on TMZ Monday after Margera, 43, ripped them in the rap song, a collaboration with rap artists Cult Shotta and Tanboymiguel.
Margera called out his one-time colleagues Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville, 52, and Wee Man, 50, for what he called lackluster skateboarding skills.
In a lyric on the song, Margera expressed mixed feelings about Steve-O (who has past sought to help him in his sobriety journey). He said on the track, 'But I love Steve-O but man, f*** them all.'
In his response in a video the outlet shared, Steve-O said, 'Hi Bam, Steve-O here - I saw your rap song and gotta say, it wasn't great' and that 'the worst part about it was that you attacked my skateboarding.'

He slyly plugged merchandise he's selling on his website, saying to Margera, 'I know you're upset that I've been doing so well selling autographed Steve-O skateboards at Steveo.com, but c'mon dude, you gotta admit, I rip.'
He then pointed viewers to a compilation of him performing a series of difficult skateboarding feats to back up his claims, and featuring skateboarding icon Tony Hawk.
'Everyone's gonna find out how much I rip right now when they watch this,' he said, adding to Margera, 'Love you too buddy.'
In the previously-mentioned rap song, Margera appeared to challenge Knoxville to a boxing match in the lyrics.
He said: 'So drop the mittens in the ring/ Double dare Knoxville/ He's gonna be there/ So find out if he has the stuff/ And find out when I'm gonna f*** you up/ So step in the ring pu**y.'
He called Tremaine 'a greedy fat f***ing pu**y' that made the cast sign lopsided contracts.
Sources told TMZ that the collaboration came about while Margera was working on music at a studio when Cult Shotta and Tanboymiguel crossed paths with him, and asked him to work on a track with them.
Margera's new girlfriend Jessica Dietzler also makes a cameo in the music video.

Margera has made headlines in recent months amid a spate of legal issues, including an altercation with his brother, who has accused him of drug use. Margera had denied the accusations.
It's been a challenging summer for Margera, who has had frayed relations with his estranged wife Nicole Boyd, 39, over their son Phoenix, five.
Margera told TMZ last month outside of court in downtown Los Angeles that Boyd had continued to obstruct him from having contact with Phoenix, aside from a few FaceTime calls.
Boyd told the outlet that his behavior had been 'extremely scary,' and that he needed to change his ways before visits with their son would resume.
The last time Margera had in-person contact with his child was on March 29 during an in-person visit in California.
That interaction did not go well, as Margera was seen in a clip on the site arguing with Boyd inside a Burbank, California restaurant over time spent with the child. The Jackass alum was seen arguing with Boyd in the clip, telling her, 'Phoenix has his own mind. Let him have his own mind!'
He was subsequently arrested in connection with public intoxication in the wake of the incident.
Margera last month was released from a psychiatric hospital after he was taken in on a 5150 psychiatric hold, and went directly into a rehab center to detox at one of the Odom Wellness Treatment Centers ran by NBA alum Lamar Odom, sources told TMZ. He ultimately left the facility in June.
Margera on June 4 was located by authorities at a Trejo's Tacos location in Los Angeles and taken in for a 5150 psychiatric hold after he took to social media threatening to end his life if he could not reunite with his son.

Margera had taken to social media May 30 in a clip he later deleted, claiming he would 'smoke crack' until he died unless he was able to see his son, saying, 'I haven't seen Phoenix in two f***ing months - I have to wake up every day, knowing that I probably won't get to talk to him or see him.'
In the clip, Margera was critical of Boyd for not letting him speak to their son, as well as his parents April and Phil Margera, saying they spurred him to drink.
'I'm going to smoke crack with the bums down at the f***ing boardwalk until I'm dead unless you deliver me f***ing Phoenix,' he said in the clip. 'Get to work Nikki, or anyone that wants to help. I want Phoenix.'
Boyd and Margera split up in 2021, and in September of that year, Boyd went to court to request full custody of their son.
Boyd filed in Los Angeles to legally separate from Margera this past February, saying the cause was irreconcilable differences, and requested the court award her spousal support, as well as legal and physical custody of their child.
