Pretty sure Kid Rock doesn’t care.
The rock star, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, is no stranger to finding himself on the receiving end of online criticism, especially from those on the political left.
Kid Rock has long been known for speaking his mind and not caring what other people think about him – or who he offends, for that matter. He’s even spoken in the past about attempts to “cancel” him, declaring them fruitless:
“I am uncancelable… because I don’t give a f–k…
I’m not in bed with any big corporate things at the end of the day, there’s nobody that beholden to, no record companies no corporate interests no nothing, you can’t cancel me.
I love it when they try.”
Well stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Kid Rock once again has people on the internet mad at him.
The latest uproar came after an appearance on Fox News with host Jesse Watters this week when Kid Rock unveiled his non-politically correct Halloween costume.
Rock seemed almost giddy as he put on a COVID mask and asked Watters to guess what his costume was, before dropping the punchline. And…well I’ll just let you watch:
As you can imagine, the joke didn’t go over well with a certain segment on the internet:
@bennyjohnson Why do you find the R-word funny from grown adults? It’s disgusting & ableist—should never be said. Funny how the right laughs when it’s against opponents, but flips out if aimed at you. I pity your kids growing up with such immaturity. They’ll see you’re just paid…

Some people have to wear masks – examples are compromised immune system, severe allergies. Important to remember that and not label someone you see wearing one.

COVID was something to joke about?

Really not a nice word

Wow. So funny. We tell our children not to use that slur because it’s offensive, but grown ass men with the intelligence of a housefly still find it amusing.

Now, everybody knows Kid Rock well enough by now to know that he doesn’t really care that people are offended. In fact, I’d venture to say that’s exactly why he said it: To get people riled up.
Yet for some reason, there’s a group who keep falling for it every single time.
Kid Rock Wants To Be The First Performer In The New White House Ballroom
I’m sure many of you have heard about President Trump’s new White House ballroom project, which is currently underway where The East Wing sits, and many in the media are not happy about it.
The administration has confirmed multiple times that this project is not being funded by any taxpayer dollars, but rather multiple private companies have made large donations for the over $300 million project.
CNN confirmed companies like Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta have all made donations contributing to the project, and last night during an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime, Kid Rock discussed the ballroom and hinted he might be the first artist to perform in the ballroom once it’s completed.
Kid Rock is a longtime supporter of President Trump, and Watters told him he’d heard from sources that he was in the works to be the first to do it, and Kid Rock responded with a very Kid Rock answer, saying he hopes that is the case:
“I hope so. Ball ’til you fall, that’s what I say.”
He went onto explain that he doesn’t agree with the backlash from the left wing media about it, because they’re not using taxpayers money for it and he believes the majority of people agree with it, since the President was elected by a majority of Americans:
“I’ve heard all the talking points, like you have, from the left wing, especially the media. ‘This is the people’s house.’ That is correct, that is the people’s house. And guess what, we the people elected this man overwhelmingly to be in that house.
He’s gonna build a big beautiful addition, it’s not gonna take any of the taxpayers money to do it, and thank God, if he’s gonna sidestep a few regulations, which I don’t know that to be a fact, but I wouldn’t be mad at him.
I’ve built some things… and I can only imagine the regulations if he tried to do it all exactly by the book. All he has to do it say, ‘We’re gonna put in a gender neutral bathroom and they’ll be like ‘Oh, we love your ballroom idea.'”
The most Kid Rock segment of al time… and considering he’s close friends with the President, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him take the stage first once the ballroom opens, though an official completion deadline or date has not been announced.
