Kid Rock jumped in the middle of the Donald Trump and Bruce Springsteen feud on Wednesday, telling Springsteen, “Don’t be a p---y.”
“Springsteen just wants to be in good contention with Hollywood,” the MAGA musician told right-wing personality Benny Johnson in a clip posted to social media on Wednesday. “He hangs out with all them people, he’s on their yachts, and all this crap. I love some of his music and I respect some things that he’s done, this, that, and the other. But you start talking garbage about the president in Europe, it’s like, ‘C’mon man, don’t be a p---y.”
Springsteen continued roasting Trump during his “Land of Hopes and Dreams” tour stop at Liverpool’s Anfield stadium on Wednesday, during which fan clips from the concert show Springsteen echoing his previous sentiments, calling Trump “corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous.”
“The Boss” still hasn’t backed down from the feud, which began when he kicked off his tour making similar comments about the president while in Manchester, England.
Trump ignited a petty back and forth with the rock star in response, threatening to “majorly investigate” him for performing for the Kamala Harris campaign and posting a doctored video of himself whacking Springsteen with a golf ball, in between several unhinged online rants in which he called him a “dried up prune.”
Even so, Springsteen has had plenty of support from other musicians. Neil Young, another notorious Trump detractor, used his own platform to back Springsteen and tell Trump to “STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT ROCKERS ARE SAYING. Think about saving America from the mess you made.” Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello offered support to Springsteen and anyone else Trump has made a target during his Boston Calling performance earlier this month. “F--- that guy,” he said on stage. Bono declared there’s only “one ‘Boss’ in America” when he was asked for his take on the beef.
Kid Rock, Trump’s musical bestie, decided to lend his voice to the president’s side on Wednesday. “Hollywood became uncool years ago,” Kid Rock said in the video, in which he claimed he was “kryptonite” to “these Hollywood knuckleheads.”
“I looked up to it when I was a kid, like ‘Man it’s cool. Hollywood, man. [How] they look, and they dress.’ Now it’s everything at your fingertips. You can see behind the curtain.” He went on, “People are just not buying their BS anymore. It’s crap, you know.”
