Kid Rock mocked as fans all make same complaint during All-American halftime show

 

The Seattle Seahawks may have handled business on the field, beating the New England Patriots 29–13 at Levi’s Stadium, but off the field, a very different showdown was unfolding.

Led by Kid Rock

This Super Bowl Sunday, America didn’t get one halftime show, it got two.

While the NFL’s official halftime spotlight went to global sensation Bad Bunny, millions of viewers switched over to Turning Point USA’s rival “All-American Halftime Show”.

Kid Rock, 55, closed out the conservative-backed livestream after performances from Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett. The event was billed as a cultural alternative to the NFL’s mainstage spectacle.

But within seconds of taking the stage, viewers began pointing out the same issue.


Many accused the rocker of lip-syncing.

“Nice lip syncing,” one viewer wrote.

“Did Kid Rock just badly lip sync through his song? Or was my stream messed up?” another asked.

“So was that a bad lip sync job by Kid Rock? Or was my stream messed up? Thank you for your attention to this matter,” a third added.

”He didn’t do anything…”

Others didn’t hold back.

“Did Kid Rock do like a minute of lip sync and dip, LOL?”

“It was a minute of lip sync and then he dipped.”

“Bruh, I thought I was gonna see Kid Rock come and slay. He didn’t do anything but play his song and do a funny dance.”


“It was a**. Kid Rock came out for 45 seconds to lip sync and drop the mic five times while he was still ‘singing.’”

Another viewer mocked the moment, writing: “Kid Rock showed up for one minute and lip-synced every third bar from the first verse of ‘Bawitdaba’ while tweaking in jorts and playing with his fedora, then it awkwardly cut to a classical performance.”

The criticism didn’t stop there.

Ahead of the show, old lyrics from his 2001 track “Cool, Daddy Cool” resurfaced online, including the line: “Young ladies, young ladies, I like ’em underage. See, some say that’s statutory. But I say it’s mandatory.”

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen comment

Clips from a 2001 Saturday Night Live appearance also began circulating again, where he joked about Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who were 14 at the time, saying:

“Why is every guy in America waiting on these chicks to turn 18? … I mean – you know what I say – if there’s grass on the field, play ball.”

The renewed attention fueled even more backlash.

“SO gross!” one user wrote.

“He is a disgusting human being. It’s no wonder the MAGA base loves him,” another added.

Still, not everyone was critical.

“Kid Rock busted out ‘Bawitdaba.’ Unbelievable and totally awesome!” one supporter posted.

“TPUSA halftime performance was worth it. History was made tonight, my friends. Love you, Charlie,” another wrote.

The livestream reportedly peaked at around 5 million viewers before dipping slightly during Kid Rock’s set. At the time of writing, the YouTube stream of the halftime show has racked up over 18 million views.

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

Why bathing too much can harm your skin and health

  After a long day, there’s something incredibly soothing about stepping into a warm shower, letting the water wash away your fatigue. But what if your beloved soaks are causing more harm than good? According to growing research and expert opinion, bathing too often could actually “be bad for your health,” messing with your immune system, and even putting stress on your body’s natural ability to regulate temperature. It turns out, that squeaky-clean feeling may come at a cost. Natural oils The human skin isn’t just a passive layer of tissue – it’s your body’s largest organ and one of its smartest. It produces natural oils to keep itself moisturized and forms a barrier of good bacteria to fend off harmful invaders. But when you shower too frequently, especially with hot water and harsh soaps, you strip away these essential oils. The result isn’t just dryness – it’s often a cycle of itching, redness, flaking, and irritation. “Normal skin has a protective layer of oil and a balance of...

From childhood trauma to rock legend: How pain fueled a superstar’s rise

The journey there is almost unbelievable — especially considering the world he came from. As a young boy, he was raised to believe women were “evil,” taught that violence at home was normal, and lived through trauma most kids could never imagine. His father was murdered An incredible, wide-ranging, powerhouse voice. Hailed as the greatest singer ever. One of the top-selling artists in music history. A Hall of Fame inductee. A kid from the Midwest who pushed past the strict, closed-in “corn belt” rules he’d been raised under, determined to prove they didn’t define him. Born in Lafayette, Indiana, this future stage legend entered the world on a February day in 1962 and was given the name William. His mother was just 16 when she gave birth to William, and his father was 20. Later, his father would be described as “a troubled and charismatic local de...
