After making hurtful comments about Joy Behar and Oprah Winfrey, Kid Rock has caused more trouble by sticking to his guns. The comments were first made in 2019 while he was drunk and ranting at his Nashville honky-tonk.
Kid Rock said it again in a recent interview with Tucker Carlson on Fox Nation: “A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s ideas; I own what I said.” He said again that he didn’t like Oprah Winfrey and added, “I don’t apologise to anybody.”
People all over the world heard about the first incident after a video of Kid Rock swearing at Winfrey and Behar became public. He also went after Kathie Lee Gifford by accident, and later said he felt a little bad about it.
People have both praised and criticised Kid Rock for not saying sorry for what he did.
Kid Rock and professional golfer John Daly were also accused of not following mask rules during the 2020 election debate. Kid Rock hasn’t said sorry, though, which adds to the discussion about free speech, holding celebrities accountable, and the effects of public actions.
Some people like how he doesn’t say sorry, while others think his wording is offensive. Kid Rock’s refusal to back down has made him known in the music business as a controversial figure.
No matter how you feel about Kid Rock, he stays true to himself, even when things go wrong. People are very angry about how powerful words can be and the responsibilities that come with being famous because of his firm stance.
Kid Rock’s controversial comments keep making the news, but one thing is clear: he’s not afraid to say what he thinks, no matter what.
