Kid Rock allegedly waved a gun during Rolling Stone interview and continuously said the n-word

Reporter David Peisner made clear the interview was unusual from the start, describing Ritchie’s home as being ‘modeled to look like the White House’, only with taxidermy animals and neon signs decorating its walls.Things only got more bizarre as the pair got to talking, however, as Ritchie described certain companies which have caused controversy for being inclusive as his ‘targets’, and described Donald Trump as one of his ‘besties’.Ritchie even attempted to call the former president during the interview, and when he didn’t answer Ritchie told Peisner: “I was going to tell him I’m going on [TV show host] Laura Ingraham. He loves to watch when I do Fox hits.”The singer went on to speak openly about his position as a Republican, expressing belief he was ‘part of the problem’ when it comes to politics polarizing the country.

“I’m one of the polarizing people, no question,” he said: “Sometimes I b*tch about other people, then I look in the mirror and I’m like, ‘Oh, yeah, why don’t you shut the f**k up too?’“It’s a rich-guy issue,” he continued. “No f**ks left. I’m not going to get it right every time, but I know my heart’s right. I want the best for this country.”Ritchie leaned in to this controversial side of himself throughout the interview as he, according to Peisner, began throwing out the n-word.The journalist included a comment in which Ritchie allegedly used the slur, adding: “It’s worth mentioning these are not the only times Ritchie drops the n-word during my visit.”

Peisner also claimed that Ritchie began wielding a firearm during their chat, after he’d finished drinking white wine and started on Jim Beam and Diet Coke.”He proceeds to drain at least three or four of them in pretty quick succession, Peisner claimed. “He’s sitting in a dark leather chair, shouting at me about something or other, when he reaches behind the seat, pulls out a black handgun, and waves it around to make some sort of point.”As he waved the gun, Ritchie allegedly said: “And I got a f**king goddamn gun right here if I need it! I got them everywhere!”Peisner claimed this tone continued for the next hour, and even when he attempted to end the interview, Ritchie attempted to keep it going.As it finally came to a close, the singer allegedly asked Peisner to write ‘the most horrific article’ about him, paving the way for the recent feature.
