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?

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."

We've met the parents-in-law, we've met the Fockers, we've invited a few little Fockers into the world, and now, the Circle of Trust is ready to get a little bit bigger with a Focker-in-Law.

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are back as Greg Focker and Jack Byrnes in the Focker universe as the somewhat maladjusted, sensitive guys with an overbearing, former interrogator father-in-law who have learned over the years how to coexist, if not even trust each other a little bit.
