Kid Rock shouted a homophobic slur at Tennessee bar over the weekend and it was all caught on camera. 

In a clip obtained by TMZ, the “All Summer Long” singer was seen at the FishLipz Bar & Grill in Smithville, Tenn. fulminating over fans recording him with their cell phones. In the 37-second video, Kid Rock targeted a fan filming him and yelled directly in their phone, “f–ck your iPhone, yeah!” before hurling out a homophobic slur.

“You f–king f***ots with your iPhones out!!!” the singer said on video after mocking fans that were recording him by pointing at his crotch, singing “you can post this d-ck right now.”

According to TMZ, security at the Tennessee bar were instructed to have patrons within the bar put their phones down or away, however, Kid Rock took matters into his own hands.

This isn’t the first time Kid Rock has come under fire for using offensive language on stage. In 2019, he was removed from a Nashville bar for using explicit language against Oprah Winfrey and the previous year he was removed from the Nashville Christmas parade lineup for going on a tirade against Joy Behar during an appearance on Fox & Friends.
