Kid Rock, who has as much talent as most folks have in their left toenail, is still making headlines for reasons outside his make-believe music career. During a recent interview, the MAGA-loving former struggle rapper turned struggle rocker waved his gun at the journalist while dropping some racial slurs for good measure.
The career arc of Kid Rock was examined in a new interview from Rolling Stone in which journalist David Peisner looked deeper into the man, whose real name is Bob Ritchie, and how he became aligned with all things Donald Trump.
At one stretch of the interview, an intoxicated Kid Rock waved a gun along with other antics befitting a guy who seems to be nothing more than a raging clout demon. This came after Rock and Peisner were locked into a debate about Trump’s racist and xenophobic stances against immigrants, especially those hailing from Mexico.
From Rolling Stone:
By this time, I’ve long since quit drinking, but Ritchie has exchanged his white wine for Jim Beam and Diet Coke. He proceeds to drain at least three or four of them in pretty quick succession. He’s sitting in a dark leather chair, shouting at me about something or other, when he reaches behind the seat, pulls out a black handgun, and waves it around to make some sort of point.
“And I got a fucking goddamn gun right here if I need it!” he shouts. “I got them everywhere!”
This was the tenor of the next hour or so. We start talking about American history, and he rightfully brings up slavery and the genocide of Native Americans as stains on that history. I ask him if he worries that in the modern day he might be on the wrong side of history.
“No. It was the Republicans that freed the f*cking slaves!”
“Yes, but the Republicans were the progressive party back then.”
In this exact exchange, Rock refers to the infamous Trick Trick as “the hardest-hitting n*gger in Detroit” and claims that the legendary underground rapper and producer supported Rock’s embrace of Trump.
Kid Rock saw his name trending Monday (May 20) due to the Rolling Stone interview and people just generally kicking his back in. We’ve got reactions listed below.

Kid Rock, the former struggle rapper turned struggle rocker, has shown and proven to have deep ties to MAGA and all things Donald Trump, and now Jason Aldean is roped into the nonsense. The pair, in a show of faux solidarity with Trump, were thought to be skipping New York during a make-believe joint tour because of a satire news site but some MAGA nutballs took the bait.
Kid Rock, 53, fresh off sneaking in Bud Lights when he thinks the cameras aren’t looking, and Jason Aldean both saw their names trending due in part to an article from political news satire site, The Dunning-Kruger Times, which has fooled some of the MAGA faithful before by mocking their blind allegiance to Donald Trump.
From The Dunning-Kruger Times:
“We support 45,” the tour’s website announced, “Therefore, we won’t be bringing the tour to the state that has treated him so poorly.”
The tour was set to play more than a dozen dates in New York, adding untold millions to local economies and giving patriotic Americans living in a liberal nightmare the chance to have a night to themselves.
MAGA goofball Brigitte Gabriel wrote of the fake news on X (formerly Twitter), “Kid Rock and Jason Aldean have responded to New York’s extreme attack on President Trump by REMOVING the state from their “You Can’t Cancel America Tour. This is a BIG DEAL and a sign of the silent majority rising again!”
Gabriel wasn’t the only one who took the news as facts, with folks reacting to the news on both sides not realizing the true nature of The Dunning-Kruger Times and their satirical bent that would remind some of The Onion and other related publications.

Kid Rock, the former struggle rapper who pretended to be from the soil, led a vocal and violent charge against Bud Light after the beer company aligned with a trans influencer. Now, Kid Rock is back teaching a class in struggle-nomics after claiming that Bud Light is back in his can-crushing rotation although it never left if anyone cares.
Kid Rock sat down with right-wing talking head Tucker Carlson for an interview we didn’t view in full and won’t be doing at any time but clips have surfaced online of the pair talking, well, Bud Light, “wokeness,” and whatever MAGA mutts get up to these days.
In the conversation, Rock and Carlson discussed the controversy over trans influencer Dylan Mulvenay working on a collaboration with the popular light beer brand. Rock and others who claim that the beer brand “went woke” by working with Mulvaney walked back their support of the Anheuser-Busch company.
Rock said that the company has suffered enough and says that “they got the message” in keeping in its right-wing fanbase’s preferences when it comes to celebrities they have representing the brand.
Some might remember that Rock took his protest to the next level by shooting up a case of beer with a high-powered weapon during some weird tough-guy act that was supposed to scare folks away from drinking the suds or something.
Anyway, Kid Rock is drinking Bud Light again, even though he’s been caught on camera pounding a can since his little backyard carnival gun show.
Cheers.

Kid Rock might not have any hit records that the general public cares about, but he’s since rebranded as an All-American tough guy who likes to shoot beer cans and all that jazz. The former struggle rapper and faux rock lord was spotted drinking a can of supposedly too-woke Bud Light and folks on X, formerly known as Twitter, are cooking him.
As reported by TMZ, Kid Rock was seen crushing a cold can of Bud Light in Nashville, Tenn. while taking in a Colt Ford show at Skydeck. While the Michigan native famously sued some of his high-powered to shoot up a case of Bud Light in protest over them working with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, it came as a shock to some that Rock would dare to be seen in public gripping a can of “Woke Suds.”
While it isn’t known why the King of Fedoras has decided to walk back his performative Bud Light ban, he does look funny in the light to several folks on X, formerly known as Twitter. On the platform, users are giving Rock the business for sipping on Bud Light. Given that the brand saw its sales drop after the Mulvaney partnership soured the connection between them and their core supporters, maybe Kid Rock sipping on the brew is the start of a bounce back? Who knows.

Howard Stern is speaking out following Kid Rock and Travis Tritt’s transphobic responses to trans activist Dylan Mulvaney teaming up with Anheuser-Busch to promote the brand’s Easy Carry Contest.

“I thought there must be a piece of this story that I’m missing,” the host said during his SiriusXM radio show on Monday (April 10). “I’m not bothered by gay people or transsexual people. They don’t impact my life, they don’t hurt my life. I love when people are in love. You wanna be a woman? Be a woman. You wanna be a dude, be a dude. Be whatever you f—ing want. As long as you ain’t hurting anybody, I’m on your team.”
Stern’s thoughts come a week after Rock posted a video to his social media accounts wearing a white MAGA hat. “Grandpa’s feeling a bit frisky today,” he shared, adding that he wants to make his message as “clear and concise as possible.” He then shot a semi-automatic rifle at three cases of Bud Light, telling the camera, “F— Bud Light, and f— Anheuser-Busch.”
Tritt, meanwhile, shared a series of tweets announcing that he would no longer be working with Anheuser-Busch and removing all of the company’s products from his tour hospitality rider. “I know many other artists who are doing the same,” the singer claimed.
“I wish I could call Kid Rock and have him come on the show and just tell me ‘Why are you so upset about this? How is it hurtful?’ I don’t know why he got so upset,” Stern continued. “Kid Rock, I know him. He’s got a great life. He transitioned from some kid in Michigan to a rock superstar! I’m really dumbfounded by why someone would care so much that they would blow up a can of Bud Light and say, ‘F— Anheuser-Busch.’ I don’t get it.”
Stern added that Rock himself is “flamboyant in his own way,” often wearing “a feather boa, maybe a mink coat” to his show when he would join as a guest. “I feel Kid Rock, his songs are all about living life the way you want, ‘I’m doing my thing man and f— you if you’re not with me,” he continued, then turning his thoughts to Tritt. “Travis Tritt’s statement was, ‘Other artists who are deleting Anheuser-Busch products from their hospitality rider might not say so in public for fear of being ridiculed and canceled. I have no such fear.’ I would like to interview the guy. I’m coming from a place of, ‘Why you care so much?’”
In a statement received by Billboard since the controversy, a Anheuser-Busch spokesperson said, “Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics. From time to time we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”

Dylan Mulvaney was in the world minding her business and celebrating an epic moment with Bud Light after the beer brand commemorated her 365 days of womanhood via her face on a can of the brew. Major league MAGA loser and former struggle rapper Kid Rock made a corny and spineless threat towards Mulvaney and Bud Light after shooting up a case of the beer with a semiautomatic rifle.
Before we get into the fake tough guy antics of Kid Rock, let’s center Dylan Mulvaney properly. Mulvaney is a TikTok star with millions of followers and rose to fame by way of her “365 Days To Girlhood” series on the social media network to the tune of over 10 million followers.
Taking notice of this, the great minds at Anheuser-Busch decided to gift Mulvaney some cans with her face on them, and she couldn’t have been happier as evidenced by the video below.
The backlash Mulvaney is enduring at the moment has been relentless, but something she’s certainly used to dealing with since everyone doesn’t know how to stay in their respective lanes like adults. Kid Rock joined the Goof Troop himself by uploading a video of him using some high-powered rifle to shoot up a case of brews and giving the finger to Bud Light and its parent company in the process.
Kid Rock looks like a gigantic fool by sharing this video and right on cue, the MAGA asshats who love this kind of empty rhetoric toward the LGBTQ community are supporting him. That said, plenty of people on Twitter are letting Kid Rock know that he has bigger things to worry about than Dylan Mulvaney living her life on her terms.

Kid Rock fans are a curious bunch these days, especially given the Detroit artist’s deep embrace of Donald Trump and all things MAGA. Conservative blowhard Nick Adams posted a ludicrous tweet on Tuesday (Jan. 17) declaring the birthday boy (he turns 52 today) is a better artist than veteran rocker and actual musician Bruce Springsteen.
We won’t dignify or help Adams’ on the Twitter engagement tip by linking his tweet but we’ll share what was written by the Aussie commentator.
From Nick Adams’ Twitter feed:
Kid Rock is more talented, both lyrically and musically, than Bruce Springsteen, and it’s not particularly close.
Kid Rock’s music perfectly captures the essence of America in a way Springsteen could only dream of.
I don’t understand how this is even a discussion.
Let it hang in the air a bit.
Okay, so now that we’re composing ourselves after laughing, we’re happy to report that folks on Twitter are eating up the so-called “Alpha Male” up in subsequent Quote Tweets and replies. Since Springsteen seems to do things befitting of a man of his fame and stature, like giving back to charity and being a true patriot in support of all Americans, he’s been deemed “woke” by right-wing nutballs who believe their way of American life is the gold standard.
Check out the reactions we could find to Nick Adams claiming Kid Rock is a better artist than Bruce Springsteen below.
