Kid Rock recently made headlines for his drunken rant at his honky-tonk bar in Nashville, where he unabashedly shouted expletives directed at both Joy Behar and Oprah Winfrey. In a recent interview on “Tucker Carlson Originals,” Kid Rock declared that he stands by his words and will not be apologizing for his actions.
During the rant, which took place in 2019, Kid Rock can be seen on stage slurring his words as he expresses his disdain for Behar and Winfrey. When asked about his remarks during the interview with Tucker Carlson, Kid Rock remained unapologetic, stating, “A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts. I own what I said…I don’t apologize to anybody. I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan.”

In a light-hearted moment, Kid Rock joked about a drunken mistake he made during his rant, saying, “I was trying to go after Kathy Griffin, you know, for holding up Trump’s head, but I’m so out of it I’m like ‘f— Kathie Lee Gifford.’” He later realized his error, admitting that he actually likes Kathie Lee Gifford and that they have been friendly over the years.
While some may find Kid Rock’s behavior shocking, others point out that it is in line with his persona as a rebellious rock star. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, he has been busy working on his recently released album, “Bad Reputation,” which features lyrics that embody his defiant attitude. In one track, he takes aim at Facebook, Twitter, TMZ, CNN, and Anthony Fauci by name, and he doesn’t hold back against social media trolls.
During his concerts, Kid Rock includes a video montage of middle fingers directed at Brian Stelter and Joy Behar. This unapologetic and confrontational approach is what his fans have come to expect from the Trump-supporting artist.
It’s no surprise, then, that Kid Rock didn’t feel the need to apologize for his remarks. In fact, he has received support from former President Donald Trump, who has shown his admiration for the rock star in the past. At a recent concert, Kid Rock featured a video message from Trump in which he praised the entertainer and highlighted the patriotism and hard work of the concertgoers.
In a time when political correctness often reigns, Kid Rock and Trump represent a different breed of public figures—unapologetic fighters who are not afraid to insult their enemies and stand by their words. Their refusal to conform to expectations has garnered them a loyal following of individuals who appreciate their boldness.
The incident at Kid Rock’s bar may have caused a stir, but it seems that the rock star has no intention of backing down or apologizing for his actions. For those who admire his authenticity and willingness to speak his mind, Kid Rock continues to be a source of inspiration and entertainment.
