Kid Rock to support ‘bada– president’ Trump by performing at GOP convention

Kid Rock is set to perform at the Republican National Convention on the same night that former President Donald Trump will accept the GOP presidential nomination. 

The 53-year-old musician, known for his support of Trump, was spotted rehearsing at Fiserv Forum on Thursday, ahead of the convention’s final night.

The artist, born Bob Ritchie, was seen preparing by pacing onstage and performing his 2000 hit "American Bad A‑‑." 

During rehearsal, Kid Rock altered the lyrics to include the phrase, “Fight! Fight! Fight!” which Trump used at a recent Pennsylvania rally following an assassination attempt. The attack resulted in one fatality and two injuries.

Following the incident, Kid Rock, along with other public figures, donated $50,000 to support the victims. On Thursday, Kid Rock hinted at his convention performance through a post on X. 

He stated, “We just arrived in Milwaukee to support our tried and true, red, white and blue, 100 percent American bada‑‑ president. What’s going to happen tonight? Tune in to find out.” He concluded with, “God bless Donald Trump and God bless America.”
