Homophobic country star Kid Rock announced this week that he is canceling several shows after almost his entire band caught COVID.
Rock was scheduled to play two concerts in Fort Worth, Texas this weekend, but more than half his band tested positive for coronavirus, so the shows can’t go on. He made the announcement in a series of angry tweets yesterday.
“I am pissed,” the 50-year-old wrote. “Over half the band has f*cking COVID (not me), and before u [sic] sh*t for brains bloggers and media trolls run your mouths, many of them, like me, have been vaccinated.”
We can’t help but wonder what Rock’s fans will be more upset about: the fact that the shows have been canceled, or the fact that he’s been vaccinated.
How about we take this to the next level?

Rock, who loves Donald Trump and hates Oprah Winfrey, went on to say “sh*t is way out of my hands” and that he is “beyond upset”. Then he offered his unsolicited opinions on the situation in Afghanistan, calling Joe Biden a “woke p*ssy” and expressing hope that the military will “bomb the sh*t out of those f*cks.”

In June, the singer received backlash after shouting homophobic slurs at fans who were filming him with their phones during a performance in Tennessee.
“F*ck your iPhone!” he shouted at the audience. “You f*cking f*ggots with your iPhones out!”
Afterwards, Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, took to Twitter to repeat the antigay slur while voicing his “love” for his many gay friends.
“If Kid Rock using the word f*ggot offends you, good chance you are one. 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,” he tweeted.

You couldn’t pay me to go to one of his shows.

Kid Rock and Ted Nugent on a endless loop would be my idea of what hell would be like.

He is such a waste of space. Just a disgusting individual
Fahd
Gee that´s too bad about his concerts being cancelled. I wish his affected bandmates a good recovery.
Mr. Stadnick
He is not a kid nor does he rock.
lykeitiz
Best comment yet about him. Be warned – I’m stealing it and taking it to his Twitter. Thank you!
whereshouldistart
I’m pretty sure he smells like rotting chicken and cigars.
He’s about as talented as the rotting chicken.

this!

He says that him and over half of his people are vaccinated, well that’s what happens when you have a shitty concert with unmasked shitheads.

Kid Rock and Josh Duggar—perfect examples of the festering sores that are draining humanity.

This racist, right-wing homophobe Kid Rock has less intelligence than a kid (including the baby goat kind) and less talent and personality than a rock!
Riley
Having to read about this antiwoke, barely talented p*ssy is an insult. Doubt many of those heading to his concert have been vaxxed and this thug just got outed!!
wikidBSTN
Well, if there someone who has first-hand knowledge of having sh*t for brains, it’s Kid Rock.
Jack
How does this asswipe have concerts? I can’t name 2 Kid Rock songs. Not only is he a POS, he has no talent.

Being from the Nashville area myself, I know too well how Kid Rock and way too many other “newer generation” country music performers are ruining real Country Music. So many of the new performers are losers who couldn’t make it in rock so they rebranded as country performers and are slowly changing what country music really is.
As for him and half of his crew being vaccinated, that probably explains why only half his crew has covid, the half that isn’t vaccinated. As for him using the word “Fa%%ot”, I think we would all be better if we could just ignore that word, let it mean nothing, and watch it die. To me, it just shows one’s ignorance when used. I know to many it is greatly offending, but it’s just a word that has no real power unless you give it power. If we and the black community could learn to laugh at both it and the N-word, we would all be much better off by taking the power away from those using the slurs.

Except he also was interviewed by Howard Stern and said that he used the N word all the time and there was nothing wrong with it.

who is buying his so called “music”? Just looking at photos of him makes me want to bathe.
Terrycloth
Kid always looks like he needs a hot bath with bleach a wire scrub brush and brillo pads. That’s for the first layer

Everything about this guy is a joke comes from an affluent family, privliged upbringing, fake man of the people and now antivaxer.
jrex100
I wouldn’t piss on him if his hair were on fire.

No time for Ignorant white trash.

Kid Rock, what a weird freak!
powersthatbe
Who?
odowd4sure
He is still around? What a piece of garbage. Does anybody care what comes out of his mouth? It is never anything positive. And if he has a better plan for Afghanistan, let’s hear it. Apparently he is an ally because “he has gay friends”, I don’t think so. Garbage just like that other piece of white trash Vanilla Ice. Lock up your valuables because there will come a day when he tries to burglarize your house just like Vanilla Ice.

KID WHO? HE TALKS TRASH WHICH HE IS!
SDR94103
why would you even put him on here???
MynameisSid
My thought exactly. Slow news day? Is this news?
Let the trash take itself out without commentary!
barryaksarben
HE said it himself – he has shit for brains
Thad
“Nashville Scene” called him “a human pedal tavern.” Many question his use of the Confederate flag…the guy’s from MICHIGAN!
Richard407
So..nobody’s seen the south park with the loud motorcycles? Yall not “woke” on what MOST people think of the word fag.
radiooutmike
Hey you can hate him all you want.
But don’t hate him solely because he hates Oprah.
Everyone should hate her. Vaccine hesitancy? You don’t think Oprah and her stooge Jenny McCarthy are responsible for children’s deaths because of the whole vaccines cause autism crap?
