Robert Ritchie is a 54-year-old man from the fringes of Detroit, Michigan, who calls himself Kid Rock and acts as though he’s from a trailer park in the deep south, rather than from a luxurious private estate.
Additionally, he wears fringed cowboy outfits, blends rap with country rock, and is a fully paid-up member of the Maga cult. He’s also a shameless creep, when it comes to women.

We mention this only to give some context to people’s reactions to the singer’s recent hot take on the stylings of female university students, which he shared with Laura Ingraham on Fox News.
Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings. pic.twitter.com/rxPLUq9X3h

“You know what’s stupid is people who think they’re cooler than art thou, that worry about their outfit every day, like some of these rock singers that live here in Nashville, I won’t say any names.
Or chicks running around on their campuses with blue hair and, you know, their five nose rings.”
Not a single atom of self-awareness. Not one. The reactions were every bit as brutal as you’d expect.

Dude who looks like “smell of unwashed feet” became a person making comments on other people’s appearances. Take a seat, Bob. pic.twitter.com/VuzXenUd1t

If Evel Knievel and Liberace had a baby and fed it nothing but lead paint and meth, well, you’d have Kid Rock https://t.co/bgym8qUHpH

You’re a 54-year-old man who goes by the stage name “Kid Rock” who looks like a gutter rat took up residence in a honky tonk karaoke enthusiast’s wardrobe and thought “I have ARRIVED.” https://t.co/wwfdETCUjT

Kid Rock wore fur coats, gold chains, & rapped about “mandatory statutory” but blue hair & nose rings offend him? His whole brand was trailer-park rebellion cosplay. Now he’s scared by kids w convictions.
They don’t need nor want your shitty playlist.

Skipping the irony of a man dressed like *this* commenting on someone else’s appearance …
Rich people clearly have entirely too much time on their hands. Americans who are currently working 2-3 jobs just to pay rent don’t have the time to stop and count nose rings. https://t.co/GW1BRb3vG8

There’s literally no woman in this world who gives a fuck what Kid Rock has to say about how women look.
