Outspoken rap-rocker Kid Rock doesn't pull punches, and thus, he's forced to field returning
fire every now and then.
From award show fisticuffs to late night punchlines, these are the celebs who just can't stand
the guy.
"I'm the most un-politically correct person you'll meet and I'm very, very proud of that"
When you pit a liberal TV star against a conservative country music singer, there's bound to be
fireworks.
After Kid Rock called The View's Joy Behar the b-word during an appearance on Fox and
Friends in 2018, the two found themselves embroiled in a nasty feud.
"Love everybody except, I'd say screw that Joy Behar b----, everybody knows that!”
Once Behar heard the news, she delivered an epic clapback on her show.
"Well, all I can say is, this b---- and these b----es would be happy to have you on the
show and have a beer.
Come on down."
Of course, this beef didn't appear out of thin air.
It all started when Behar ripped a picture of Kid Rock posing alongside Sarah Palin and
Ted Nugent at the White House, and said, via Esquire:
"Is this the saddest day in the history of the White House since the British burned it
to the ground in 1814?"
Kid Rock claimed the remark inspired his biting slam, writing on Facebook:
"Mess with the bull, you get the horns.
End of story."
"No matter how you slice it, this is 100% American badass.”
Kid Rock pulled an arguably odd move when he launched his own line of barbecues called
the "American Badass Grill," a venture he marketed by shooting foreign-made BBQs with
a gun.
"In your face, China!”
Naturally, comedian Stephen Colbert had a field day with Rock's obsession with blowing
up appliances.
"That’s right, Kid Rock hates Chinese grills so much he bought hundreds of them just to
blow 'em up."
The host then took Rock's low-budget special effects to task, joking:
"So, I guess the grills and the special effects come from China."
But that wasn't the first time Colbert ripped Kid Rock.
After the rocker knocked The New York Times on Howard Stern in 2017…
"I do believe that papers like The New York Times are a miracle.
The reporting…”
“It's a little bit gay."
…Colbert shot back:
"I'm not sure exactly what Kid Rock thinks is gay about The New York Times, but I'm going
to guess its the reading part."
One of the funniest burns against Rock comes courtesy of Tommy Lee, a.k.a., the first ex-husband
of Pamela Anderson.
The musicians' beef makes sense when you consider Rock also married Anderson for four months
in 2006.
Lee and Rock got into a physical altercation at the MTV VMAs in 2007.
Lee claimed on his website that it all started when - instead of sharing a hello hug - Rock
allegedly punched him in the face.
Lee wrapped up his message with an apology to the venue and host, writing:
"I would like to apologize […] for the disrespectful bulls--- caused by a piece of s--- called
Kid Pebble!!"
Ah, Kid Pebble.
But something tell us Kid Rock isn't planning on a name change anytime soon.
He told People magazine of the fight:
"This was unavoidable.
I had to do what I had to do because this was a long time coming."
"I told him very honestly and very clearly, I said, ‘I won.’”
Steven Tyler comes across as a pretty chill guy, except where it concerns his reputation
in the music industry.
Just ask Rock, who got slammed by the rocker in 2010 over a dispute about American Idol.
"I'm here to tell you that I am moist.”
Kid Rock criticized Tyler for signing on as an Idol judge in 2010, telling Entertainment
Weekly:
"I think it's the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life.
He's a sacred American institution of rock 'n' roll, and he just threw it all out the
window."
So what was Tyler's response to the shade?
He told the outlet,
"He's just jealous, he's just jealous.
And he's working his new record, so God bless him."
"I was a little upset with that actually.
I saw him recently and I was like, that's as good as you could do?"
Kid Rock's divorce from Pamela Anderson was anything but amicable.
"I was bored.
I felt like it was just time to move on.”
And the bad blood resurfaced in Anderson's 2018 interview with The Hollywood Reporter,
when she questioned her ex-husband's Republican persona, saying,
"When he was with me, he didn't hunt.
I don't think he was very Republican, but now he is.
Oh well."
Anderson revealed she hadn't so much as spoken to Rock since their divorce was finalized
in 2007.
But we're not surprised Anderson isn't exactly Team Kid Rock.
After all, he did once insinuate to Rolling Stone that Anderson faked a miscarriage, because
he didn't come to see her on a movie set in Canada.
To the accusation, Anderson responded:
"I hope he's happy in life.
If he has nothing nice to say about me, then please tell him to stop talking about me."
