Kid Rock is used to telling people exactly how he feels, but is he dissing Tim McGraw?! Is this true?
Some fans were shocked to hear reports that Kid Rock dissed Tim McGraw and canceled a series of concert tour dates due to politics.
In fact, the “All Summer Long” singer reportedly cited “wokeness” as the reason for the cancellation.
This may sound like the kind of headline that feels legitimate in 2024, but we’re here to dig into the rumors and truth behind these outlandish claims.

Kid Rock vs. Tim Growe: What’s the story?
Recently, a meme went viral in which Kid Rock dissed Tim McGraw before he was said to be starting his concert tour. The post, from the “America’s Last Line of Defense” Facebook page, upset fans in the comments section.
The meme featured a photo of the rap rocker and Tim performing together and included a caption that poked fun at the rapper’s anti-woke politics. The caption reads, “Kid Rock cancels 6 concerts with Tim McGraw.”
The post also included a quote from Kid Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie) in which he disparaged the “Something Like That” singer. “I’m not getting any boos for waking him up,” the rapper was quoted as saying.
The “America’s Last Line of Defense” page also included a caption referencing Tim’s recent birthday message to his wife. The caption reads, “Mr. McGraw’s recent ‘bold political statements’ have made him the target of a boycott.”
The “bold political statement” was apparently a birthday post Tim posted to his wife Faith Hill. The country superstar shared her cute photo and showed her support for women’s rights.
Tim described his wife as a “role model” for women to “believe in themselves and take responsibility for their lives (all aspects of their lives).” She also called on people to fight for women’s rights.
“Let us honor and honor the women in our lives and fight alongside them for their rights,” he concluded his birthday wishes.
Did Kid Rock diss Tim McGraw?
Despite shocking fans of Kid Rock and Tim McGraw, this post is actually not true. “America’s last line of defense” is a satirical description. The account’s profile describes it as a “satire/parody” entertainment site.
The shared photos also included a watermark that clearly marked them as “satire.” Below it was also written, “Nothing on this page is real.” Political memes and jokes are often shared on this page.
Additionally, neither artist’s tour dates or concerts are listed on their online pages, according to . Snoop. I couldn’t find the Kid Rock quote either.
Even though the page was marked as satire, some fans were fooled into believing it was true. “Why can’t people just sing, act, do what they do and keep politics out of it? I want to enjoy this experience,” one person wrote.
Some fans took sides and showed support for either Kid Rock or Tim due to their political beliefs. Some simply asked performers to avoid discussing politics.
Still, some wondered if this was not the case. “I can’t believe Tim McGraw is doing a concert with Kid Rock. I think this is fake,” one follower commented.

What are Kid Rock’s political beliefs?
Kid Rock has been very open about his right-wing values and support for former President Donald Trump. The “Born Free” rocker has appeared multiple times with presidential candidates.
Kid Rock also spoke about his friendship with Trump in multiple interviews. He is said to regularly play golf with the former president, and Trump seeks his opinion on pressing issues.
The ‘Batwitdaba’ rocker claimed that President Trump sometimes asks him for his opinion on international geopolitics. he claimed that apprentice The host once asked people for their thoughts on a tweet urging people not to join ISIS, and also asked for their thoughts on North Korea.
To Kid Rock’s credit, he reminded President Trump that he doesn’t really understand the current situation in North Korea. “I…what? I don’t think I’m qualified to answer this.”
It’s worth noting that the “Picture” singer ran a transphobic campaign against Bud Light when Dylan Mulvaney appeared in an ad.
Shortly after Mulvaney appeared in the ad, Kid Rock posted a video of a large case of beer. He appears to have broken away from the boycott, as he appeared on Fox News in April wearing a Budweiser cap.
