"Earlier this week, news broke that irrelevant musician Kid Rock will be headlining Turning Point USA's worm-brained answer to Bad Bunny 's Super Bowl halftime show. But the headliner of the "All American Halftime Show,"-aka the Super Bowel-is now facing backlash after certain of the singer's Epstein-esque lyrics from one of his old songs resurfaced. But surprise surprise, not only is JD Vance doubling down on his obsession with his fellow failing-upward weirdo, Kid Rock himself has responded to the criticism with yet another tone deaf take."
"In response to the criticism around lyrics that basically double as the open confessions of a s*x predator, Kid Rock came to X to share a quote from the late LA Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Obviously it's quite a bold-some might say stupid-move to co-opt an American sports hero's words about bad faith criticism as a way to deflect from some truly rank lyrics."
Kid Rock will headline Turning Point USA's "All American Halftime Show" and faces backlash after resurfaced lyrics from his song "Cool, Daddy Cool" referenced statutory rape and underage girls. JD Vance publicly praised the TPUSA halftime lineup on X while critics highlighted the lyrics in the post comments. Kid Rock responded on X by sharing a quote from Kobe Bryant as a defense. Kobe Bryant died in 2020 alongside his daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash. Many view the use of Bryant's "Mamba Mentality" in this context as inappropriate and tone-deaf. The controversy arrives amid renewed scrutiny following recent Epstein files revelations.
