As Kid Rock addressed the issue, the crowd burst into laughter and shouts, with many giving him a standing ovation. One of the attendees, sporting a “Woke Is Whack” tour shirt with pride, said,
“That’s why we’re here.” The Hollywood types who believe they can tell us what is right and wrong are becoming old to us. We like Kid Rock because he confronts them.
Fans of both celebrities responded quickly on social media, debating the event and using the hashtag #SorryNotSorry. Supporters of Kid Rock came together in support of him;
One Twitter user said, “Lopez had no business being there.” She believed she could advance her goals by taking the stage? Not under Kid Rock’s supervision!
Lopez’s fans, however, were just as outspoken in their criticism of Kid Rock, calling him out for a “blatant lack of respect.” One admirer said, “So much for freedom of expression.”
“It seems that at a Kid Rock concert, only one type of opinion is acceptable.” Kid Rock, who never backs down, reaffirmed his stance throughout the performance.
