Kid Rock claims his fight with Tommy Lee at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday was the culmination of a five-year feud between the pair.

The two former husbands of ‘Baywatch’ beauty Pamela Anderson came to blows at the Las Vegas ceremony after Lee muttered something to Rock as he walked past his table.

Rock insists something was almost certain to happen between the pair eventually because of how Lee has treated him in the past.

He said: "I did what any man would do, any man across the country, across the world would do. It kills me just to be associated with, to have my name in a sentence with him, it honestly destroys me.

"It was unavoidable. I had to do what I had to do because this was a long time coming. You know, I came back from the bathroom and he was sitting right there. It was even more disrespectful after everything he's said, I was like that's enough, that's it."


Tommy Lee quit Motley Crue?

Rock claims Lee – who has two children, Brandon, 11, and nine-year-old Dylan, with Pammie – taunted him while Rock was going through his divorce from the busty blond.

He said: "Last contact I had with him was when me and Pamela were going through our divorce. He picked up her Blackberry and started e-mailing me a lot of horrendous things. It was extremely disrespectful.

"I calmly told him, ‘Listen, I will see you again…’ and that was the end of it, because I don't talk, you know."

Meanwhile, LL Cool J wants the feuding rockers to fight out their issues in a pay-per-view fight.

He said: "I'm not sure who'd win in a fight between Tommy Lee and Kid Rock. You know what we should do? Let's pay-per-view the thing, I'll even front the money."

I just don’t get it.  Why fight over Pam Anderson?  Big’ol fake boobs just aren’t right.  My man even thinks she looks good.  I have no trouble admitting when a woman is attractive, but I just don’t see attractive in her anymore.  But then again, Tommy Lee & Kid Rock are dog ugly as well.

Looks like the dumbass is talking lots now.

Is this the only way tommy lee’s old behind can get any press? By picking on people? What a turd.

Detroit Muscle verses a Hollywood glam boy?
Bob would destroy him.
Tommy wouldn’t stand a chance.

What a couple of over tattoed assholes.  And, over Pammy Anderson…that’s the biggest laugh of all.

I bet Kid Rock would win. Tommy is too diseased and decrepit. LOL

They both need to grow up & leave that ho Pam alone

It kills me just to be called ‘Kid Rock” to have my Bozo name in a sentence, it honestly destroys me.

What an asshole.

tommy lee look like an ageing wigger and kid looks like a hick with a shit ring around his nasty mouth.
why are they even fighting over inflated bags pam? She an old trick!

Pam is awesome, Tommy is as awesome and hot as she and Kid PLEBE was the most mistake in Pam’s life.

GO TOMMY!

Tommy is in his 40s, why does he still dress like a 15 year old boy?

This whole thing was just a publicity stunt b/c nobody is watching that shitty MTV anymore.

They both look like they could use some good hot showers with some disinfectant.  Pam Andersen’s remark about sticking her tongue down Kanye West’s throat and tasting his fiance says it all.  Kid Rock, Tommy Lee and Pam all need to go back to their trailers and live together.  The MTV Show has turned into a trashy, shock jock type of show with money hungry mafia like producers.

Meant to say the Music Video Awards Show.

LL Cool J cracks me up…and that’s a good fucking idea. i think Tommy would whoop up on Kid’s beer gut, until Kid fought dirty and busted a bottle of Pabst Blue Ribbon over Tommy’s head.

The front row at that fight would have to be given level III biohazard suits because of the hepatitis and various other blood-borne pathogens in those two skanks.
