Kid Rock recently celebrated women competing in traditionally male-dominated sports like rodeo, mentioning that it’s not about DEI — Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, but about being the best at what they do.
He shared a video of a woman competitor from his Rock and Rodeo event, calling her a ‘badass cowgirl.’ “How cool is it to have women compete on Rodeo Teams with men!!!… not because of any DEI crap, but because they are the best at what they do!! Hard not to love a real, badass cowgirl,” he wrote.
In past interviews, Kid Rock has also discussed his diverse band, highlighting the different backgrounds of its members. In a 2023 interview, he mentioned, “I probably got the most diverse band out there. We have white people, hillbillies. We have black people, we have gay people. We got it all; female, men…”
He emphasized how well they get along, joking about each other’s differences and treating each other like family. “We’re not one of these bands that just zit each other’s throats and fight. We all love each other and always have. We accept that we’re all different and we’re all just cool.”
Kid Rock added that in his circle, no one focuses on someone’s sexual orientation while sharing his take on the matter. “No one cares if you’re gay anymore. We all got gay family members, friends, co-workers. It’s like just shut up about it. I’m not going to… ‘Oh, you’re gay.’ I’m not going to clap louder for you. All right, just be cool, be gay. Shut up. No one cares.”
The singer also earlier told Fox News that he has no problem with people being transgender or gay and believes everyone has the right to be themselves as long as kids were left out of these “polarizing social issues.”
