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

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 GOP Senator Gets Brutal Wakeup Call After Criticizing People For Playing 'Candy Crush' Instead Of 'Making Babies'

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.

White House's 'Two Kings' Photo Of Trump And King Charles Gets Ripped For Hypocrisy Using Trump's Own Words

The White House was reminded of what President Donald Trump claimed just days ago after sharing an image on social media of Trump and King Charles III and declaring them "two kings."

Charles addressed a joint meeting of Congress on Tuesday, becoming only the second British monarch to do so after his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who spoke in 1991. His speech came as Trump has repeatedly criticized British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over Britain’s refusal to back the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.
