Violent J gives further details on why he dislikes CM Punk.

Appearing on AdFreeShows with Conrad Thompson, Violent J was asked about his comments.

"Colt Cabana is not an associate, he's a friend. I don't have very many people that I actually consider real friends, someone you basically talk to every day. Me and Colt are cool like that," he stated.

He continued, "What happened was, I was at the airport, I was flipping through Instagram, and I came across the footage from a couple of year ago when CM Punk was going off on Colt Cabana about sharing a bank account with his mom. I don't like CM Punk. He's always been a dick to us. I just unloaded. I've been meaning to say this. When I saw the post come up, I was like, 'Let me school this motherfucker.' I had been meaning to say it. Here's where it comes from. Back in Ian Rotten's IWA, we were doing something there back in the day. Apparently, we didn't shake everyone's hand in the dressing room like was required for that time. You come in and shake everyone's hand. We didn't know this. We just didn't know at the time that was a customary thing for respect. We just didn't know. Apparently, according to Colt, CM Punk didn't like us after that. When we got to TNA, we went to shake his hand, and he wouldn't shake our hand. I was like, 'That's the first time that someone refused to shake our hand in wrestling over something like that.' When Colt fell out with him, I caught that statement about 'who would share a bank account with their mom?' Not everyone's mom is like CM Punk's mom where that would be a problem. I shared a bank account with my mom before she passed. I don't understand him. I don't understand his anger, his bitterness, and I don't understand his attacks on Colt, and his blatant disregard for us. Fuck him. Fuck this dude.

"I unloaded because I have an outlet and something is on my mind, I unload. The funny this is, he doesn't live in my mind like that. It's not like a grudge where I'm after him. I just saw it and I was like 'Fuck this guy.' That's it. There is no anger to it. I don't like him. I think he suffers inside. Just watching and observing as a fan, I think he has problems and there is a lot more going on in his head than I'll ever understand. I respect his wrestling and everything he's done and his ability. I'm a CM Punk fan for his work, but him as a man, it's hard to relate for me. When you diss a personal friend on top of blatant disrespect of me and Shaggy, I say fuck him. I wish I would bump into him. If you ask him what he thinks of ICP, he'd tell you the same thing about us. I just said it first. It's not a deep-seated hatred. I don't know you. You're dissing my boy, you dissed us, fuck you. That's all it amounts to."

Violent J noted that his son asked him why he dissed CM Punk.

He said to his son, "Number one, I want people to know that I don't like him. Number two, I just lost my mind. The whole thing about dissing Colt for sharing a bank account seems so inhuman to me. How the fuck is that any of your business or concern? I get they owed money, but the fact that Colt Cabana shares a bank account with his mom had nothing to do with nothing. I stand by that. I stand by supporting your mom if you can. I want people to know I'm not cool with him dissing Colt for that reason. Fuck that. I do the same thing. What's wrong with that? It kind of embarrassed myself a little bit in that it looks like I'm fuming about him, but if you follow my Instagram and see the stuff I post, that's pretty much what I do. If something is on my mind, I post and forget about it. It's not as big as it appears, my dislike for him, and I enjoy watching him wrestle."

Conrad noted that Violent J may like CM Punk, but not like Phil Brooks.

"I think he has an issue with himself sometimes. He seems so unhappy and upset with everybody and everything. It's so hard to relate to him. The whole reason he got mad about the car glass. It's just so hard to relate to his arguments. I just went off on him. That's really it," he said.

A reminder that ICP claim Detroit but live 20 miles away.

Punk has not responded to ICP.
