Kid Rock shows support to Eminem, despite political differences
Kid Rock, the hip-hop and country-rock star from metro Detroit, Michigan, has become just as well-known for his music as his political opinions, and the music legend on his way is back with another hot take about the upcoming United States election. This time, Rock is standing with fellow musicians Eminem and Taylor Swift, celebrating them for using their platforms, even if he doesn’t agree with their politics.
Kid Rock posted a video on his social media profiles, shirtless, playing guitar in a camouflage hat, saying, “Now that I have your attention. I love Eminem. We’ve been friends for many years. I don’t agree with his politics, but I do give credit to him and people like Taylor Swift for standing up and not being afraid to be vocal for that which they believe. Thinking differently and having the freedom to do so is what makes this country great.”
Eminem, who has previously collaborated with Rock, thrown his support behind Kamala Harris about a week ago in his hometown. Slim Shady took to the stage at Huntington Place in Detroit to introduce former President Barack Obama, who was rallying in support of Harris. Despite being “unequivocally MAGA,” Kid Rock said he supports his fellow artists for using their platform for politics, regardless of which side of the aisle they fall on.
Eminem responded Rock on X (formerly Twitter), saying: “Here’s one thing Kid Rock and I do agree on… GO DETROIT LIONS !!!! Appreciate you, Bob.” After few hours, Kid Rock responded back: Thanks Eminem. Who would of thought it would be 2 white rappers from Detroit / Michigan to show our divided Country what class is and how it should be done! Appreciate ya too Marshall! Kid Rock / Bob Ritchie. DETROIT LOVE #GOLIONS.” Check out the official tweets below.
