Nobody does real talk like Reggie Ossé a.k.a. Combat Jack. The former rap industry attorney, media executive, author, and Internet radio talk-show personality now hosts The Combat Jack Show, where hip-hop's biggest names are put on the front line. The questions will be tough—and shots will be fired. Co-hosted by Dallas Penn, Premium Pete, and Just Blaze, The Combat Jack Show appears every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday on Complex TV.

In the final installment of our three part interview with Action Bronson on The Combat Jack Show, Combat steers the conversation toward a more controversial topic, which put Action in hot water last May. A photo surfaced on Bronson's Instagram account with the caption, "Close up of Drunk Mexican Tranny after Bes poured a Bottle of water on its head."

"I thought it was going to be funny when I wrote it...To say the least, it was dumb. It was stupid," Bronson confessed. The image and caption brought major backlash toward the Queens rapper, with some people calling him a "bigot" online. "That's the furthest thing from what I am," said Bronson. "I don't give a fuck if you're gay, tranny, anything, I don't care. I'll be friends with anybody."

On a lighter note, Action also discussed his weight ("I'm literally sculpted under this"), and drops a quick freestyle before he leaves The Combat Jack Show. Quotables for days.

Action Bronson's new album, Saaab Stories, is in stores now with featured production from Harry Fraud.
