Bubba the Love Sponge has implied Hulk Hogan leaked his own sex tape.

The DJ lashed out at his former best friend - who can be seen cavorting with Bubba's estranged wife Heather Clem in the video - and thinks the ''self-centred'' wrestler could have released the footage for publicity.

Speaking on his radio show, Bubba - who is believed to feature at the end of the tape bragging about how he could sell the footage - said: ''I'm gonna be honest with you, I have not seen the tape ... including me supposedly bragging and being a horse's ass.

''At the end of the day, I can't even comment on the validity ... [Hulk] could have had something to do with the leak of it.''

Hulk is suing Bubba and Heather for $100 million, claiming they filmed him without his consent.

However, Bubba issued a reminder to Hulk live on air, saying: ''Nobody put a gun to your head'' and insisted it was consensual.

He also lashed out at his former friend, defending the wrestler' ex-wife Linda and calling Hulk's daughter Brooke talentless.

The 'TNA IMPACT Wrestling' star's sex tape was previously thought to have been leaked by a disgruntled ex-employee of Bubba.

Hulk recently called in the FBI because he is determined to get to the bottom of the violation of his privacy.

He insisted: ''I have braced my family, there could be another one. I have no idea. I've never made a tape. I swear to god I wasn't in on this.''
