Dennis Rodman freaked out during a CNN interview about his latest "basketball diplomacy" mission to North Korea on Tuesday. He lost his cool when host Chris Cuomo takes Rodman to task over his self-described "friendship" with dictator Kim Jong-un.

Cuomo pointed out that it was a known fact that Kim is a ruthless tyrant who even had his own uncle executed last month.

"I don't give a rat's ass what in the hell you think!" Rodman, flanked by fellow former NBA players who are part of his current exhibition tour, bellowed at Cuomo from North Korean capital Pyongyang during the interview.

Cuomo asked Rodman about the ongoing detention of American citizen Kenneth Bae in North Korea as well, who's currently serving a 15 year sentence in a labor camp.

Rodman — who takes over from ex-NBAer Charles Smith around the 4:30 mark of the interview, above — struggles and stammers to address the Bae situation before lashing out at Cuomo.
