They hate the great ones.”Kid Rock gets dragged online for past controversial songs: Read more View this post on Instagram Instagram PostKid Rock's Instagram post comes after an announcement earlier this week that he will be headlining TPUSA's controversial "All-American Halftime Show." The show is a conservative counterpart of the Super Bowl's official halftime show, which is being headlined by Bad Bunny this year.The organisation was founded by the late conservative provocateur, Charlie Kirk, in 2012. Alongside Kid Rock, artists like Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett will also take to the stage to perform and celebrate "faith, family and freedom" on February 8.JD Vance posted the event on X with the tweet:“Fantastic lineup for the TPUSA halftime show, including the great Bob Ritchie AKA KID ROCK.”Users online, however, have mainly taken issue with the singer due to his infamous 2001 song Cool, Daddy Cool. In verse 3, he sings,“Young ladies, young ladies, I like ‘em underage. See some say that’s statutory.” His bandmate, Joe-C, then chimes in, “But I say it’s mandatory.”John Rocha has since reacted to his Instagram quote on X:“Son, WHAT?! You ain’t no Kobe Bryant. He’d laugh you out the room for his quote like this. That quote was meant to be used by the top dogs NOT the lap dogs. GTFOH.”The Joeys account has also weighed in:“Kid’s built his career on appropriating songs from legendary artists. Not surprised to see him appropriating a quote from a legendary athlete.”As for the six-time Grammy-winning artist Bad Bunny, also known as the King of Latin Trap, he recently made history when he nabbed the Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammy Awards. He was announced as the headlining act for this year's Super Bowl in September 2025, though it was met with intense backlash.At the time, scores online took issue with his past comments about refusing to perform in the U.S. as part of his world tour due to fears that ICE would execute a raid at one of his concerts and target his fans.The 2026 Super Bowl halftime show is scheduled for Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8.Stay tuned to SoapCentral for more.
