During an interview with Fox News personality Tucker Carlson, musician Kid Rock bragged about being "uncancelable" because "I don’t give a f*ck."
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, made the remarks when Carlson claimed "people aren't allowed to say what they think" as a result of so-called "cancel culture."
Cancel culture has been given a negative connotation among onservatives, who argue it poses a threat to public discourse. Comparatively, others argue the act of "canceling" someone is a form of free speech because it promotes accountability for offensive speech or conduct.
You can hear Kid Rock's remarks in the video below.
The legendary Kid Rock sits down with Tucker for a rare one-on-one interview. And nothing is off the table. You\u2019ll see part of the fascinating discussion Monday on Tucker Carlson Tonight at 8pm ET on Fox News.pic.twitter.com/5ZU9rIb5Vj— Tucker Carlson (@Tucker Carlson) 1647723041
Kid Rock went on to explain exactly why he views himself as "uncancelable":
“I’m not in bed with any big corporate things. At the end of the day, there’s nobody I’m beholden to: no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing. You can’t cancel me. I love it when they try."
The musician's statements exposed him to almost immediate mockery, with many saying that he lacks an understanding of the concept.
Others contested Fox News' description of Rock ahead of the interview, which airs tonight at 8 p.m. EST, as "legendary."
Can you even cancel something that\u2019s irrelevant??https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1505285653457772552\u00a0\u2026— The Crappy Bartender (@The Crappy Bartender) 1647874115

Of course @TuckerCarlson would think anyone who defended using the "N" word frequently is "legendary".https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1505285653457772552\u00a0\u2026— What's Up Doc? \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08 (@What's Up Doc? \ud83c\udff3\ufe0f\u200d\ud83c\udf08) 1647828238

Kid Rock is un-cancelable because he is rich & has always been rich. Although he panders to, makes money off & poses as working class, Bob Ritchie has never been poor or had to work for money. No surprise he aligns with Tucker. They are the same different clothes different grifthttps://twitter.com/tuckercarlson/status/1505285653457772552\u00a0\u2026— Cookie (@Cookie) 1647788202

During the same interview, Kid Rock said former President Donald Trump asked him for foreign policy advice on how to handle terror threats posed by the Islamic State (ISIS) as well as diplomacy with North Korea.
He claimed that he and Trump conversed on a golf course shortly after Trump ordered attacks on ISIS in the Middle East. Trump had sought his advice on how to phrase a tweet in which he would have stated something along the lines of "you ever joined the caliphate, and trying to do this, you’re going to be dead." He said he gave Trump's prospective tweet the thumbs-up.
Kid Rock clarified that the tweet was “reworded and more political and like a little politically correct.” He admitted he did not feel “qualified to answer” Trump’s questions about North Korea and that it felt “weird” to receive Trump’s phone calls.
