Kid Rock, the iconic musician known for his bold persona and electrifying performances, has praised former President Donald Trump as a ‘dragon slayer’ in the ongoing battle against wokeness and cancel culture. Speaking at his recent ‘Rock N Rodeo’ event held in Texas, Kid Rock expressed his views on the shifting cultural landscape.
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Kid Rock asserted that the influences of wokeness, which include diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, as well as cancel culture, are beginning to fade. He attributed this change to Trump’s leadership in challenging these trends.
Kid Rock stated, ‘I think wokeness, DEI, and cancel culture are starting to exit the building, and we can thank President Trump for leading that charge once again. I refer to him as the dragon slayer because he has decisively confronted these issues.’
The musician did acknowledge that cancel culture is unlikely to disappear entirely. However, he emphasized that he prefers not to engage with it personally. ‘There will always be some level of cancel culture, where individuals react strongly and seek to protest or boycott products,’ he explained.
He added, ‘I’m not in favor of seeing someone lose their job over a corporate decision, but there are times when some accountability is needed. Look at the response to Bud Light’s recent missteps; we need to remember that forgiveness is crucial, but so is getting back on track.’
Kid Rock articulated his vision for a society that champions merit over other considerations. ‘I firmly believe that we should operate as a merit-based system where hard work and talent are recognized. It’s baffling how we lost sight of this principle, as it’s simply common sense that the most dedicated individuals should rise to the top regardless of anything else.’
He openly declared his admiration for Trump, calling him the ‘greatest president ever.’ Kid Rock stated, ‘To sum up my thoughts on President Trump’s presidency, I consider him the greatest. This is not only due to our friendship and shared moments on the golf course but also because of his remarkable resilience.’
Kid Rock added, ‘I often refer to myself as the American badass, but I think I need to share that honor with the president. He is someone who loves this country unabashedly and fights for it every single day.’
The musician also expressed his satisfaction with Trump’s victory in the 2020 election, which he had anticipated. ‘I frequently remind him that I am thankful for his landslide victory, despite the media suggesting otherwise. He has sacrificed so much to serve this country and will continue to fight for its interests.’
In his conversation, Kid Rock acknowledged the divisive nature of contemporary political discourse. ‘I believe we can engage with reasonable people on the left, but there are certainly those who wish to undermine Trump at any cost. These individuals need to be addressed because their actions threaten to drive us apart. Yet, I believe we can still foster love and unity throughout this nation.’
Kid Rock also revisited the memorable outfit he wore at the White House during an executive order signing. ‘I had planned to wear the outfit for some upcoming shows, crafted by the legendary Nashville designer Manuel, a good friend and true patriot. When the White House invited me for an opportunity to meet the president, I thought it was the perfect chance to showcase it.’
Reflecting on the day, Kid Rock recounted his surprise at discovering he would be part of a press conference while wearing his colorful attire, which led to humorous comments from reporters.
The musician articulated his rationale behind organizing the ‘Rock N Rodeo’ event, which showcases a blend of music and rodeo culture. ‘For years, I’ve witnessed various sports being overtaken by wokeness, but rodeo remains authentically patriotic. It deserves more recognition, and I want to elevate it.’
He recalled, ‘When I partnered with Professional Bull Riders, I specifically insisted that their organization remains a space free from the influences of woke culture. We are committed to promoting American values and resisting any attempts to undermine them.’
Kid Rock’s ‘Rock N Rodeo’ event took place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and aims to create an exciting experience that encapsulates the essence of American culture. ‘This event fuses rock, country, and hip-hop into a celebration of Americana at its finest,’ he stated.
As he continues to make waves in the music world and beyond, Kid Rock remains focused on amplifying patriotism and challenging cultural narratives in his artistic endeavors. He aims to inspire his audience to embrace the principles of hard work and determination, regardless of societal pressures.
