Working for radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge has never been easy but it got harder for sidekick 25 Cent when he agreed to be tasered by the popular host.

The stunt, which took place in studio, was carefully orchestrated, but quickly went awry in typical BTLS fashion 25 Cent was paid $100 to take part in the stunt and made a show of counting it before the Tasering took place.

BTLS recently lost his Tampa Bay radio station but is reportedly in discussion for a new deal. His program airs on a number of conventional stations and can be subscribed to digitally as well here.

25 Cent was not hurt (permanently) with the Taser, but said he could smell burning flesh.

The BTLS Show was a fixture on SiriusXM for a number of years, before salary disputes forced Bubba's departure. He remains close with Howard Stern who selected him as the first host to appear on his satellite radio channels.
