Kid Rock aka Robert James Ritchie claims that he went on a harsh rant against Oprah only because 'her people' wanted him to explain why he 'loved her' before being allowed on her talk show, several years ago. 

The musician who had made some vicious and foul comments about Winfrey took to social media to explain himself. He shared, "My people tried to get me to do The Oprah Winfrey show years ago and her people wanted me to write down 5 reasons why I loved her and her show. I said f**k that and her. End of story". 

On Friday, while on stage at Nashville's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse, Kid Rock was heard trash talking. In a shocking clip, Kid Rock was seen squatting up and down in a vulgar way as he said, "Oprah Winfrey is like 'Hey, I just want women to believe in this s**t'. F**k her". 

He went on to say, "She can suck my d**k sideways. And if you say that people say, 'Hey, I'm pretty sure Kid Rock's a racist.' I'm like, 'OK fine.' F**k off'". The rock star's comments did not sit well with the audience who were waiting on the live music to restart. He continued to make some more lewd comments and gestures and was escorted off stage by someone who seemed like they were from the sheriff's department. 

Locals love and respect Winfrey especially given that she went to college and also started her career in Nashville. It is not known when Kid Rock had requested to come onto Winfrey's show which had ceased production in 2011. However, he has been making negative comments about the star which dates back to a decade. 

Back in 2011, he had also released a track titled 'Forever' where he namechecks the star. The lyrics read, "Thick like Al Rowker, Pumpin out hits, Gettin chips like Oprah, B***h I told ya, do not hate, Or question the music I make".
