Dennis Rodman is no stranger to controversy. The five-time NBA champion speaks his mind and doesn’t shy away from any sort of confrontation. However, this could have led to some dangerous consequences for him during one of his visits to North Korea.

Rodman is a close friend of Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Un and visits North Korea often. During one such visit, Rodman gave a toast to Jong-un on his birthday which could have had unpleasant ramifications for the former Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons star. The two-time NBA All-Star surprised everyone with his choice of words for the Supreme Leader.

In an interview, Rodman was asked about a moment where he said, “Your father and grandfather did some f****d up s**t but you’re making a change“. Rodman revealed that he was present in North Korea for Jong-un’s birthday celebrations a few years ago.

“It was funny because I gave a toast to him on his birthday“, reminisced Rodman. He then admitted to having said those words. He said, “He was sitting right beside me and I stood up and said that f*****g thing”.
