Last June, Kid Rock faced backlash when a video of him calling his audience "f****ts" while performing at a show in Tennessee was released. What did the rapper learn from the experience? That he was uncancelable, or so he told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a one-on-one interview over the weekend.
In the video, Kid Rock addressed his audience -- who had their phones out, cameras rolling -- saying, "You can post this dick right now. You [f******] f****ts with your iPhones out." His response to the pushback was to double down.
The "Cowboy" singer tweeted at the time, "If Kid Rock using the word f****t 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. -Bob Richie"
And his attitude hasn't evolved today. "I am uncancelable. Because I don't give a f***," he told Tucker Carlson in his interview. Why? Because he's above any repercussions. "At the end of the day, there's nobody I'm beholden to -- no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing," he explained. "You can't cancel me. I love it when they try."
Kid Rock has a history of using homophobic slurs and opposing same-sex marriage -- while at the same time claiming not to be homophobic himself.
"If someone says you can't say 'gay' like that you tell them to go f*** themselves," he told The Guardian in 2015. "You're not going to get anything politically correct out of me."
