Kid Rock has been accused of allegedly waving a gun in a reporter’s face during a recent interview. Journalist David Pesiner, who writes for Rolling Stone, described the alleged encounter in detail as part of a new piece for the magazine.
In the article, which was shared on May 19, Pesiner recalls his visit to Kid Rock’s ranch in Nashville last month and ended up staying for hours as the interview progressed and saw Kid Rock act increasingly erratically. During the discussion, Pesiner claims, Rock discussed his support for Donald Trump, and his right-wing views. He also stated that while he was at the ranch, the musician allegedly had drinks before allegedly pulling out a handgun.
In the report, Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, allegedly pulled out a black handgun and began allegedly waving it in front of Pesiner’s face. He is quoted as allegedly saying: “I got a fucking goddamn gun right here if I need it! I got them everywhere!”
Pesiner claims the musician used the N-word multiple times throughout the interview, including when he stated that it was the Republican party that “freed the fucking slaves.” Later, Pesiner confirms that he made multiple attempts to leave the residence but was allegedly blocked by Kid Rock and, on one occasion Pesiner alleges that Rock asked him if he wanted a physical fight.
“Do you think you could whup the shit out of me?” he allegedly asked Pesiner, who responded, “Probably not.” Rock then allegedly said, “You can take a shot if you want.”
While the interview spanned multiple hours, according to the journalist, it ended with Kid Rock showing him out, and requesting that he write the “most horrific article” about him as “a favor.”
