Kid Rock Tells Tucker Carlson He's 'Uncancelable' in New Interview and Social Media Has Thoughts

Kid Rock bragged that he is "uncancelable" in a new interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, and social media seems to have taken that as a challenge. The country music rapper has had plenty of controversial moments over the years, but never enough to drive him out of the entertainment industry altogether. His claim also stirred up the usual conversation about what cancel culture really means.

Kid Rock's interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight hasn't even aired in full yet and it's already making waves online. In preview clips shared on social media, Kid Rock says: "I am uncancelable. Cause I don't give a f—! 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. You can't cancel me. I love it when they try."

Kid Rock insinuates that he would need to lose the patronage of a wealthy sponsor in order to be truly "canceled," which is not the definition that everyone subscribes to. Some also joked that Kid Rock had already been effectively "canceled" in the sense that he is far from a mainstream entertainer. However, he clearly continues to make a living one way or another.

Viewers also pointed out the irony of claiming complete independence from outside influence on a show like Tucker Carlson Tonight. Just last week, Mother Jones reported on internal Kremlin memos which describe Carlson's broadcast as "essential" to their agenda. Carlson has been called an "apologist" and even a "shill" for the Russian government – especially since the invasion of Ukraine began.

All in all, Kid Rock's claim of being "uncancelable" was played as a punchline on social media. The full interview airs on Monday night. Here's a look at what commenters are saying in the meantime.
