Kid Rock slammed after Donald Trump kicks off his tour with pre-taped message

Social media users did not waste any time in trolling the 51-year-old musician who is known for his friendship with Donald Trump

Kid Rock got brutally dragged on the Internet over the weekend after his 2022 tour opening show saw a video message from former President Donald Trump. The ‘We The People’ hitmaker kicked off his Bad Reputation tour in Indiana with the help of a pre-taped message from Trump where the latter claimed that all the people in attendance at Kid Rock’s concert were “truly the backbone of our great country.”
 
Social media users did not waste any time trolling the 51-year-old musician who is known for his friendship with Donald Trump. The former president of the United States was also seen putting on a baseball red cap that read “Make America Rock Again,” a nod to his trademark MAGA hat. Kid Rock’s Bad Reputation tour is named after his 11th studio album. On his tour, the singer-songwriter is scheduled to play in different cities.
