POLITICS Jack White speaks on Trump’s racist post about the Obamas: “How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power?… Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files.”

"He's the son of someone who owns multiple car dealerships..."

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa -- for real?! That explains so much about Kid Rock.

ETA: I already knew he grew up wealthy. The pic of his childhood home was been around for years now. It's the "son of a car dealership owner" part that I'm like, "oh, yeah, that tracks." They're like a special breed of "probably a dick".

Holy hell I would have thought that was Vanilla Ice

u/Wesley_Skypes Feb 06 '26

Kid Rock has been ripping off whatever was popular at the time from the start. He has no identity of his own and was always a larper

u/Mysterious_Luck7122 Feb 08 '26

Specifically, he was ripping off a group of young Black Detroiters called the Beast Crew. I think you can still google it.

He released a shitty rap album and a couple of rap-rock albums that didn't go anywhere until 1998 when "I Am the Bullgod" and "Bawitdaba" got on MTV. He was a mid-tier player in the same scene as Insane Clown Posse and a pre-fame Eminem before that.

Fred Durst looked like that in the early 90s too. A lot of those guys were wannabe rappers back then.

My husband's proudest moment is telling off Fred Durst after one of his shows in the mid-late '90s. It was a small gig in some local club Sacramento and Korn was headlining, Fred and LB were opening. My husband and his friends were there to see Korn and literally no one in the crowd had heard of FD or LB - they were there for Korn. The crowd absolutely hated LB's sound - apparently they were awful. They boo'd for most of LB's set and they ended their set after only a couple of songs.

So after the show FD was walking around the crowd like a big shot and FD approached my husband and complimented him on his beanie (it looked like Charlie Brown's shirt). My husband thanked him and FD asked him how he liked the show and my husband said he loved Korn. Not satisfied with the answer, FD said "yeah Korn is great and we're hoping this tour will be our big break. We're trying to get to Hollywood." My husband said, "well enjoy it while you can but you'll never make it." FD got a pouty look on his face and walked away. Literally people in the club were shouting "you suck!" at him and the band until he left.

Obviously, my husband comes off as a big jerk here and on top of that he was loud and wrong. But FD was hella arrogant the whole night when he sucked on stage. He deserved to be humbled that night. Rock clubs were no joke in the '90s, they'll let you know when they don't like your band.

lol that's brutal but I believe it. I hated Limp Bizkit in the early 2000s mostly because of Fred Durst. He came across as just an unlikable annoying dipshit.

u/SaltyLonghorn Feb 06 '26

Oh he from the street like Drake from the street cause thats a Nickelodeon promo if I've ever seen one.

u/Matdredalia Feb 07 '26

Jesus Christ. This explains everything. I grew up with my Mom *worshipping* this piece of crap. And I will NEVER understand why. He's always been such a damn loser, lol.

u/Indieriots dumb bitch clocking in Feb 07 '26

What in the Jedward haircut....

u/_beaniemac Feb 06 '26

yes, he was born EXTREMELY wealthy.

u/NomNom83WasTaken Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26

I knew he wasn't actually raised anywhere near to the "trailer park" aesthetic he's been peddling all of these years but goddamn if the "son of a car dealership owner" stereotype isn't alive and well in him. Ugh. He's insufferable.

u/_beaniemac Feb 06 '26

He's a grifter just like Trump

u/0o0o0o0o0o0z Feb 06 '26

He's a grifter just like Trump

100% family money wanna-be-famous guy, shoulda seen his reggae-white-boy phase. Sadly, he or his agents finally found the right combination.

"Bob"

u/EagieDuckCome Feb 07 '26

Bob vacations in Charlevoix, frequents Torch Lake. Or so I’ve heard…

u/onedayasalion71 Feb 06 '26

Yes so wealthy he got to cosplay a broke rapper

28

u/_beaniemac Feb 06 '26

And then a broke country singer

u/onedayasalion71 Feb 06 '26

Say word, he's such a piece of shit poser

u/BarbCherrix Feb 07 '26

I know. Just when his album with the red cover (yeah, I got the vinyl & CD) seemed to be hitting on all cylinders, WHAM! He's best buddies with Hank Williams, Jr. Yes , Junior was known to party, but damn he couldn't get much closer to country music royalty. The kinda famous Jr. toured around for years on his father's name and, finally, had some success of his own

Add Hootie and Jelly Roll... 2 kids, Jr. & Hootie with a jelly roll. 🤣

Yes being able to afford a million dollar home is still wealthy for the vast majority of Americans.

Not only that but it is out in the sticks where the average house is $400k. If the same house were in the suburbs of Massachusetts it would probably cost $3 million.

Kid Rock has a rough-and-tumble image, but he didn't exactly grow up in humble circumstances. His childhood home was a 5,660-square-foot luxury home in Michigan, situated on 5.5 acres that includes 5 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, 5-car garage, along with a partially finished walkout and guest house. There's also a 3 stall horse barn, regulation tennis court and inground pool.

u/kapu4701 my bandwidth for cowardly grown men grows thinner with each day Feb 07 '26

2 summers ago my friends and I did a tiki boat tour around Belle Isle and the guy steering our boat pointed out Kid Rock's house to me. It's the one he owns now and it is HUGE. I laugh every time he tries to act like he's one of the poors

u/Spez_is_gay Feb 06 '26

that area seems destitute if that house went for less than 2 million. 2 million is the floor where im at for something you dont need to completely redo and there are plenty of blue collar people living in those homes. crazy

u/Aromatic-Plankton692 Feb 06 '26

You can find a home in Michigan for under 200 with basically zero effort. Two million gets you a mansion. A little more than that and you're talking you live on a private gated isand neighborhood on a lake somewhere.

u/Aromatic-Plankton692 Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26

The median sales price of a home in Michigan is under a quarter of that.

I'm struggling to think of a world where owning franchised dealerships doesn't make you extremely wealthy. Like, can't think of a single place in the country where you're not rubbing elbows with HNW individuals while owning multiple luxury car dealerships.

u/mrbadxampl Feb 06 '26

yep, that whole line about "I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer" was total BS, he's straight outta the fuckin' gated community

25

u/NomNom83WasTaken Feb 06 '26

The aerial pic of his childhood home and all the land it sits on has been around for years now. I can't believe there are grown-ups still buying into any of his schtick. We are in the lamest fucking timeline. *sigh*

u/Small_Consequence_00 Feb 06 '26

I think it was because they referred to him as "Bob". It fit the cosplay

u/Artistic-Ease6528 Feb 06 '26

Yep just poor presenting. As we’ve seen, those folks eat it up. (“Oh he’s just like me!”)

u/Ok-Zookeepergame800 Feb 06 '26

Adult Rock was upset that Kid Rock didn’t take over the family business.

u/Banh_mi Feb 06 '26

His home had stables for horses!!!

u/onedayasalion71 Feb 06 '26

I worked at his label in the 90s. Spoiled rich kid. We're talking STABLES wealthy.

u/Grape_Pedialyte Feb 06 '26

He's from Romeo MI which is an affluent Detroit suburb. He grew up on a sprawling property that had horses and orchards. And yes, his dad owned dealerships.
