Last June, Kid Rock faced backlash when a video of him calling his audience "faggots" 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******] faggots 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 faggot 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."
