Recording artist Kid Rock is reportedly set to take the stage on Thursday at the Republican National Convention (RNC), where he will perform a themed song in honor of former President Donald Trump officially accepting the Republican Party’s 2024 nomination.
Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared some behind-the-scenes video of Kid rock — born Robert James Ritchie — prepping for Thursday evening’s performance.
“Trump supporters will love this. Kid Rock is here at the RNC rehearsing a Trump themed song – here’s a little sample,” Melugin captioned the first video he posted via X.

Kid Rock shared his thoughts in the aftermath of Saturday’s attempted assassination of the former president, saying in a short video posted to Instagram, “You f*** with Trump, you f*** with me.”

He also donated money to support the innocent rally-goers who were also wounded when a shooter opened fire on Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, killing firefighter Corey Comperatore and injuring two in addition to the former president.
Questions still surround the shooting, as many have asked how a potential shooter — who was reportedly a known threat — was able to attain an elevated position with a direct line on Trump.
