Kid Rock Has The Pettiest Response To Anyone Who Was Offended By His Homophobic Slur

Kid Rock's response to the backlash surrounding the homophobic tirade he went on when he caught a fan filming him during a set in Tennessee was disappointing to say the very least.

In true high-school bully fashion, Fobert "Bob" Ritchie (Kid Rock's real name) posted a tweet signed by "real him" to justify misconduct by his stage persona.


"If Kid Rock using the word f*ggot offends you, good chance you are one," the singer wrote.

"Either way, I know he has a lot of love for his gay friends and I will have a talk with him. Have a nice day. -Bob Ritchie"

Kid Rock, who has been vocal in his support of former President Donald Trump, is not necessarily a surprising person to be using homophobic slurs, but the double-down of his Twitter response has people rolling their eyes.



Ritchie, who often touts his Kid Rock persona as an everyman redneck, actually hails from a very large estate north of Detroit, Michigan.

This puts Ritchie neither as an "everyman" nor as a "redneck," as geographically his home is Midwestern rather than Southern. The property most recently sold for close to $700,000 in 2018.





Ritchie is also no stranger to slurs, using the n-word quite a few times throughout his collected works.

He has also been escorted off-stage at events before, such as in 2019 when he went on a racist rant against Oprah Winfrey and Joy Behar.

He has also called Reverend Al Sharpton a "tax-evading, race-baiting clown."




At this point, is it even news if Kid Rock says something ridiculous and then pulls a childish defense of it?

Former 'Jimmy Kimmel' Writer Epically Fires Back At 'Bruised Skin' Trump In Blistering Congressional Testimony

Bess Kalb, a former writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live!, criticized President Donald Trump during a hearing on Capitol Hill called “Silencing Dissent: The First Amendment Under Attack,” saying the president is the program's "best and worst audience" with "inexplicably bruised" and "very thin" skin.

Kalb's appearance is no accident given how much Jimmy Kimmel Live! has offended Trump's sensibilities over the years—and how he tried to pull it off the air last year.

Hugh Jackman Shares Hilariously Wolverine-esque Bedhead Photo—And We Totally See It

It turns out you can take the mutant out of the X-Men, but you can’t take the X-Men out of your morning bedhead.

After 25 years of playing the iconic clawed hero, Hugh Jackman woke up this week to a truly meta realization: he didn’t need a wig, a wind machine, or a Hollywood glam squad to look like Wolverine. He just needed a pillow. And maybe, moving forward, a satin bonnet.
