Kid Rock hurls homophobic slur at crowd for recording him while performing onstage

Kid Rock has laid into fans with a homophobic slur after he spotted them filming him at a recent gig.

The singer, whose real name is s Robert Ritchie, went off on an abusive rant because fans were using their phones to record his set at a bar in Tennessee.

The event, which TMZ reports was at FishLipz Bar and Grill, turned sour as the singer held his middle finger up in the air and shouted: "F*** your iPhone, yeah.

"Post this, post this," the All Summer Long singer started chanting while pointing between his legs.

"You fucking f*****s with your phones." The user filming the scenes then cut off the video before catching any more of the awful tirade.

TMZ reported that security at the venue were regularly telling fans to put their phones down before Kid Rock decided to take the matter into his own hands.

It's not the first time the 50-year-old has thrown a tantrum, though.

Fans of the star will remember his outrage in 2019 when he drunkenly lashed out in a drunken haze about Oprah Winfrey.

He was once again filmed by shocked onlookers as he laid into the American TV presenter shouting "F*** Oprah".

He blasted: "“Oprah Winfrey is like, ‘Hey, I just want white women to believe in this s***’ – f*** her."

As he was escorted off stage to a chorus of boos one fan labelled him a racist to which he responded by saying he knows that "weird" people will call him "racist" for attacking her but said if he met those people he would tell them: "Okay fine, f*** off."

He also went onto verbally attack The View host Joy Behar.

"I’m not a bad guy," he started. "I’m just an honest guy saying I don’t like Oprah Winfrey or Joy Behar. They can suck d*** sideways."

In 2015, he also told the Guardian : "If someone says you can't say 'gay' like that you tell them to go f*** themselves."

"You're not going to get anything politically correct out of me."
