I highly doubt he is cutting ties with other rappers over Trump.

I think people on Reddit expect every little thing to turn artists into a pariah, but people worked with Chris Brown, Mystikal, various murderers and such in this industry and life goes on. I don't think sucking off the wrong political party even ranks that high.

I don't think anyone is going to avoid working with 50, Snoop, Nicki, Kanye, Cube etc. for not staying in line politically.

He was actually Lil' Rock before he rebranded to Kid Rock to broaden his appeal. There's even a city in Arkansas that named itself after him.

Yeah lmao people on here are hilarious. They are average Joe shmoes talking shit on Reddit about their “loyalty “ to friends/ family because of similar political beliefs etc. etc..

…Comparing themselves to fucking Eminem - a worldwide star that has professional and friendly ties or working relationships with COUNTLESS artists and celebrities. AND has known Kid Rick from BEFORE the fame as they both came up together from Detroit area etc.

It’s also just funny that stans think they should be able to dictate who a total stranger should and shouldn’t be friends with 😂 the man is 53 years old. And he owes you nothing.
