The rocker took to Instagram to rant after the attempted attack on Donald Trump—and was instantly told to calm down.

Rocker Kid Rock was criticized for an Instagram rant after former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt over the weekend.

One individual died, and Trump, along with two others, was injured on Saturday when a shooter opened fire at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The gunman, whose motive is still under investigation, was fatally shot by Secret Service agents at the scene.


And not long afterward, Kid Rock shared a video message on Instagram in which he issued the following profane threat:

"You f**k with Trump, you f**k with me."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

The fury with which he delivered his message did not have the intended effect. People were quick to tell him that he needed to calm down.



In May, Rolling Stone published a profile on Kid Rock that pointed out how extensively the rocker has "wrapped himself in all things Trump and become as much a fixture of the MAGA Cinematic Universe as Steve Bannon, Mike Lindell, or Kari Lake."

At one point, he described Trump to reporter David Peisner as "one of my besties," though when he placed a call to Trump's cellphone mid-interview, Trump didn't pick up."

Kid Rock was among the first prominent musicians to declare their support for Trump. In 2016, he toldRolling Stone that he was "digging Donald Trump," particularly his campaign, which he referred to as "entertaining as s**t."

Since then, the rocker has continued to court controversy, such as when he ventured into the culture wars by sharing a video showing himself shooting cases of Bud Light beer in protest against the company's collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, can be seen holding an assault rifle and shooting at cases of Bud Light until they burst open and liquid pours out of them, to which he ultimately declares "F**k Bud Light."
