Kid Rock Sends Direct NSFW Message to Fans Before Leaving Stage Mid-Concert
Singer Kid Rock was a special guest at Bon Jovi keyboardist David Bryan's birthday party on Feb. 8 when he suddenly lashed out at fans and left the stage mid-performance.
The 54-year-old's unexpected act was caught on video by fans when he was supposed to be performing Creedence Clearwater Revival's song "Proud Mary."
In a video of the performance uploaded by user ZPierre509 on Instagram, Kid Rock, Bryan and more started the song smoothly, with the crowd grooving to the popular tune. At one point, Kid Rock turned toward the audience and clapped twice before returning his focus to the song.
But apparently, Kid Rock wanted the whole crowd to clap to the song, and while some followed his lead, it wasn't enough. He stopped the song and said, "F--k them. F--k them. Hey, hey, stop. If you ain't gonna clap, we [ain't] gonna sing. That's how it's gonna go."

Kid Rock then clapped loudly a few times to get the crowd going, saying, "Don't get too fast," before he started singing again. But it wasn't long before he decided it wasn't going to work.
"You know what, f--k y'all. You ain't gonna clap, I'm gone," Kid Rock exclaimed as he rushed off the stage, with the band looking at him, confused.
The "All Summer Long" singer hasn't shared any comment addressing what happened.
Kid Rock faced backlash in the past for his behavior, such as when he used racial slurs and waved a handgun around, among other things, in an interview with Rolling Stone last year.
