In an interview with Fox News, US Singer Kid Rock declared himself to be uncanceable. This was after Tucker Carlson asked Rock why he had not been canceled yet despite having an outspoken and controversial personality and his acerbic comments on homosexuality, the covid vaccines, and Joe Biden.

"I am uncanceable," said Rock, who wore a "We The People" hat at the time." I'm not in bed with any big corporate things. At the end of the day, there's nobody I'm beholden to - no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing." He added, "You can not cancel me, but I love it when they try."

Carlson then asked the singer, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, why there were not more artists like him.

"Because they are in bed with record companies and, you know, corporate deals and instructors at every level," he said. "I think I crawled out of the womb with both middle fingers in the air."

Last year, the "Cowboy" singer used a homophobic slur while addressing his previous homophobic slur.

 A video clip spotted the singer using the slur on stage while performing in Smithville, Tennessee.

He was heard shouting mid-performance, "F*** your iPhone, yeah," as he complained about being filmed. Later, he pointed at his crotch and sang, "You can post this d*** right now."

 "You f*****g f*****s," he added before complaining about the recording again.

The Monday after the incident, Rock addressed it on his Twitter account. It read, "If Kid Rock using the word f***** offends you, good chance you are one. Either way, I know he has a lot of love for his gay friends, and I will have a talk with him. Have a nice day."

He concluded by signing the tweet with his real name, "Bob Ritchie."

The post was met with adverse reactions and criticisms.

"If he respects his gay friends he wouldn't use the word. But I'm guessing he does not have any," a follower responded to the tweet.

"Why use the word at all?" someone else asked. "Seriously, what is the point? Ewww."

"Someone with gay friends would not use that word as an insult. Enjoy the continued loss of fans and income," another person retorted.

The "All Summer Long" singer has accrued notoriety as a vocal critic for COVID mandates and guidelines. Earlier in January, he vowed not to perform at venues that required masks and vaccines.

"There has been a lot of talk about vaccine mandates and venues," he began. "People saying, 'I am not going to that venue because of the vaccine mandate' and this, that and the other."

He continued, "Trust me, we have done all our research on this and the consensus says that all this is going to be done, if there are any at these venues, I am not aware of any, but if there are any, they are going to be gone by the time we get to your city."

He added, "If they are not, trust me, you do not have to worry. You will be getting your money back because I will not be showing up either."

He also told fans that he had eliminated New York, Toronto, Buffalo, and other cities from his Tour, due to their covid guidelines.

He admitted that the situation was unfortunate, but he will not be singing his songs like "We The People" and "Don't Tell Me How To Live" while people held up their "f***ing vaccine cards and wearing masks. That s**t ain't happening."

Rock Is A Staunch Supporter Of Donald Trump

 The 51-year-old singer, a vocal advocate for Donald Trump, praised him in another interview clip.

"See now, if you watch a Joe Biden interview, and you watch a Trump interview, there is no comparison. And Trump speaks off the cuff. I understand what it is like, sometimes you get it wrong. But I would way rather hear somebody come from here [the heart] and get it wrong once in a while," he added.

He also added an image of standing near the former US president, watching him read one line from his notes. "That is why I liked him from the beginning," Rock added.

Kid Rock Slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci

Rock slammed Dr. Anthony Fauci, an infectious disease physician, in the same interview. "F--- Fauci," he told host Tucker.

He added that he believed all the "hogwash" at the beginning of the pandemic but later realized that the virus was hitting hard on "overweight, unhealthy people."

"A couple months of that shit and I'm like, what? So this is pretty much knocking out overweight, unhealthy people?" he added. "I'm like, I'm good."
