How are you celebrating Thanksgiving when you're an Olympic great? In Usain Bolt's case, you simply spend it destroying James Corden's confidence with a flurry of fire insults.

The TV host gave as good as he got during The Late Late Show's rap battle on Wednesday night, uploaded to YouTube the day after. But ultimately it was Usain Bolt's insults about Corden's appearance and implied lack of sex that won over the crowd.

"You think you're a star, but little do you know / Most people in here think they're watching that Kevin James show" and "I'm the fastest human being in the history of racing / You host the lowest show in the history of ratings," were just two of the Jamaican icon's sick burns, but they were all pretty strong TBH.

It's not everyday you get to be berated by a living legend. Corden was stoked.
