"In the song, Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, sings about liking underage girls. One of the lyrics in the song goes, Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see. Some say that's statutory (But I say it's mandatory). Kid Rock's Saturday Night Live appearance from April of 2001 also went viral ahead of his Sunday show, as he said on the episode that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were old enough to pursue despite the famous twins being 14 at the time."
"Kid Rock appeared on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show on Monday night and took a victory lap of sorts, after being widely praised for his performance by the right all day. Fox's Emily Compagno said earlier in the day that the alternative halftime show had her moved to tears. Kid Rock's critics, however, had a very different take. Zeteo's Mehdi Hasan shared the rocker's comments on SNL and wrote, This is their hero. This is who brought Megyn Kelly to tears and who RFK was hanging out with."
Kid Rock performed an alternative Super Bowl halftime show at a Turning Point USA event that received praise from many on the MAGA right. Online users and critics pointed to a 2001 song, "Cool, Daddy Cool," with lyrics that reference liking underage girls and to a 2001 Saturday Night Live bit where he joked about the Olsen twins being old enough despite them being 14. He later appeared on Laura Ingraham's Fox News show and was defended by some commentators, while critics such as Mehdi Hasan and An0maly condemned his past remarks and highlighted disturbing themes in his lyrics.
