Kid Rock was caught on video using a homophobic slur in Tennessee after he got upset with fans filming his June 5 concert.
The musician, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was performing at FishLipz Bar & Grill in Smithville, where security guards tried — unsuccessfully — to get those in attendance not to use their phones to record, according to reports.
During 50-year-old Kid Rock’s set, he looked into the phone of one fan filming and shouted: “F**K your iPhone, yeah.”
He then addressed the crowd, yelling, “You f**king f****ts with your iPhones out!”
Footage shows Rock later sang, “You can post this d**k right here,” and grabbed at his crotch for the camera.
