"On September 20th, presumably in response to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, the governor tweeted, "BECAUSE OF HIS HORRIFIC MUSIC, CALIFORNIA WILL INDEFINITELY SUSPEND KID ROCK FROM PERFORMING IN THE GOLDEN STATE. YOU'RE WELCOME! - GCN." Over the summer, the governor also posted a fake endorsement poster reading, "Kid Rock Wants You to Support Governor Newsom," to which the musician responded, "The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ.""
"On Monday, Nick Adams - a MAGA author and commenter, and Trump's nominee as Ambassador to Malaysia - tweeted, "Kid Rock and Jason Aldean would have made a great Super Bowl Halftime show. Bad Bunny will just further divide the American people. A missed opportunity from the NFL to bring people together and tone down the rhetoric." Newsom promptly responded, "Wrong. Kid Rock has been INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED from performing in California and as such he cannot perform at Super Bowl LX!!!""
"The Super Bowl is set to take place February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Rumors had Taylor Swift performing, or even Metallica, whose adopted hometown is in the San Francisco Bay Area, but ultimately Bad Bunny got the call. While some may perceive the choice of the anti-ICE activist Bad Bunny as a political one, it's more likely based on his global appeal."
Governor Gavin Newsom has repeatedly used Trump-style tweets to mock critics and public figures. The governor posted a September 20th tweet declaring Kid Rock indefinitely suspended from performing in California, accompanied by a faux endorsement poster earlier in the summer. Kid Rock responded with a profanity-laced jab. MAGA commentator Nick Adams criticized the NFL's Bad Bunny halftime choice as divisive, suggesting Kid Rock or Jason Aldean would have united fans. Newsom replied that Kid Rock cannot perform at the Super Bowl because of the California suspension. The Super Bowl will be held February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
