Multiplatinum artist Kid Rock refuses to apologize for a drunken rant in which he attacked Oprah Winfrey and Joy Behar by name at his honky-tonk in downtown Nashville.
"A drunk man’s words are a sober man’s thoughts, I own what I said," he told Tucker Carlson in an interview featured in "Life of a Rockstar," the latest episode of Tucker Carlson Originals on Fox Nation.
In 2019, TMZ released footage of Kid Rock on stage repeatedly saying "f--- Oprah Winfrey" and "f--- Joy Behar."
"I don’t apologize to anybody. I’m not an Oprah Winfrey fan," he said when pressed about the rant. "I got drunk and f---in’ next thing, I’m on stage [saying] f--- Oprah…"
Kid Rock also attacked Kathie Lee Gifford by name during the rant.
KID ROCK REVEALS WHY HE HASN'T BEEN CANCELLED: 'BECAUSE I DON'T GIVE A F---'
"I was trying to go after Kathy Griffin you know, for holding up Trump’s head, but I’m so out of it I’m like ‘f--- Kathie Lee Gifford,’" he said.
"When it comes back on TMZ or whatever a few weeks later I’m like ‘oh man, I like Kathie Lee Gifford.’ We’ve been kind of friendly throughout the years."
The drunken rant was very much in character for Kid Rock, who spent most of the COVID-19 pandemic working on his recently released "Bad Reputation" album.
Lyrics from the album include lines like "I’m the last of a few still screaming f--- you." In one track, he attacks Facebook, Twitter, TMZ, CNN and Anthony Fauci by name, and lets loose on social media trolls.
On tour, his concerts feature a video montage of middle fingers pointing at Brian Stelter and Joy Behar.
