Kid Rock gave\u00a0Fox News<\/em>\u00a0host Tucker Carlson an in-depth interview as part of his series titled\u00a0Life of a Rock Star.\u00a0<\/em>The Michigan native, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, has strong opinions about politics and the Hollywood culture, which he expresses with an \u201cin your face\u201d attitude that has been called too abrasive and too extreme by his detractors.<\/p>\n

Carlson wanted to give Kid Rock an opportunity to address one of those \u201ctoo extreme\u201d incidents that captured headlines around the country when the controversial rocker lashed out at Oprah Winfrey. The video of the event\u00a0went viral<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0TMZ<\/em>, showing an admittedly intoxicated Kid Rock on stage at a Nashville honky tonk, yelling, \u201cF*ck Oprah Winfrey,\u201d and, \u201cF*ck Joy Behar!\u201d He was accused of racism after his anti-Oprah rant, even though\u00a0his son<\/a>\u00a0is half African-American.<\/p>\n

According<\/a>\u00a0to\u00a0Daily Caller<\/em>, Carlson\u00a0questioned<\/a>\u00a0Kid Rock on his anti-Oprah rant during an episode in which the\u00a0Fox News<\/em>\u00a0host received a tour of Kid Rock\u2019s Nashville Ranch. \u201cA drunk man\u2019s words are a sober man\u2019s thoughts,\u201d Kid Rock told Carlson about the Oprah rant. \u201cI own what I said and I won\u2019t apologize to anybody. I\u2019m not an Oprah Winfrey fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rocker continued to explain the incident to Carlson. \u201cSo, I got drunk and the next thing I\u2019m on the stage and saying like \u2018f*ck Oprah, suck my d*ck sideways!\u2019\u201d Kid Rock\u00a0recalled<\/a>. \u201cThe f*cked up part is I was trying to go after Kathy Griffin, you know, for holding up Trump\u2019s head but I\u2019m so out of it I\u2019m like \u2018f*ck Kathy Lee Gifford.\u2019 When it comes back on\u00a0TMZ<\/em>\u00a0or whatever a few weeks later, I\u2019m like \u2018oh man, I like Kathy Lee Gifford.\u2019 We\u2019ve been kind of friendly throughout the years.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlson also asked the Michigan rocker why he is immune to those who try and \u201ccancel\u201d him for his politics and controversial statements. \u201cI don\u2019t give a f**k, and I\u2019m not in bed with any big corporate things,\u201d Kid Rock\u00a0said.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cAt the end of the day, there\u2019s nobody I\u2019m beholden to. No record companies. No corporate interests. No nothing. You can\u2019t cancel me. I love it when they try.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kid Rock\u2019s feelings toward Joy Behar also\u00a0made headlines<\/a>\u00a0in a separate incident when he tripped the censors during an interview on\u00a0Fox News\u00a0<\/em>with Steve Doocy. True to his word, the Grammy-nominated singer stood by the remarks he made about the\u00a0ABC<\/em>\u00a0talk show host when Doocy asked him about \u201cpolitical correctness.\u201d<\/p>\n
