During a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, controversial rocker Kid Rock revealed one of the major secrets of why he suddenly pivoted to being a vocal Trump supporter.
Kid Rock says he’s a Trump supporter for money
Here is what he said:
“I mean, part of it was I got older and wiser, but to be honest, I had the money in the bank. And at the end of the day, when I really thought about it — it sounds hokey, but I just care about this country too much. And it wasn’t really a conscious thing; I just started kind of doing it, getting involved. And one thing led to another. I had a couple talks with just friends.”
Later on in the interview, Carlson suggested that the decision to start supporting Trump vocally might have been even harder than Rock was admitting, and homeboy just doubled down on his earlier explanation:
“Like I said, I had the money in the bank, so it was… A lot of people don’t wanna mess with their bottom line. A lot of people — anybody, this goes for anybody — they’re scared of their social standing. God forbid mom drops off the kids at school with a MAGA hat on, you know what I mean? All of a sudden, you’re this polarizing, divisive person because you said, ‘I wanna make America great again’? I was, like, ‘How dare you?’ [Laughs] People are scared. I’ve been a lot of things. One thing I’ve never been is scared, that’s for sure.”
Back in May, Rolling Stone tried to interview the Rock. He underwent a massive transformation from apolitical rapper into a MAGA supporting country rocker, and it devolved into a drunk Kid Rock trying to fight the interviewer. Well, it seems that he transformed himself for money.
