California Governor Gavin Newsom took aim at Kid Rock on September 19th, joking that the rocker is “indefinitely suspended” from performing in the Golden State because of his “horrific music.”
The announcement wasn’t official policy but part of Newsom’s satirical back-and-forth with political rival, U.S. President Donald J. Trump. Posting on X (formerly Twitter), Newsom wrote in all caps:
“BECAUSE OF HIS HORRIFIC MUSIC, CALIFORNIA WILL INDEFINITELY SUSPEND KID ROCK FROM PERFORMING IN THE GOLDEN STATE. YOU’RE WELCOME! — GCN”
The mock suspension arrives as debate over free speech and censorship intensifies. Earlier this week, the FCC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live following the host’s commentary about the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, prompting backlash over First Amendment concerns.
Kid Rock, a longtime Trump supporter who has performed at rallies and consulted on ticketing legislation, hasn’t publicly responded to Newsom’s latest jab. The two have a history of online sparring, including Kid Rock’s August post on X stating:
“The only support Gavin Newscum will ever get out of me is from DEEZ NUTZ.”

Josh Smith fuck Eminem
Ray Baeza lmfao yeah you right. Just saying I don’t see others doing this for their fans or pushing for legislation reform to fight scalpers and gaining amazing progress.
I mean if you hate rich people actually looking out for the middle class, you do you lol.
I give props when it’s due.
Like I said show me another artist doing it.
Aka put some respect on his name.
I guess its too bad for Newsom that you cant ban a US citizen from travelling to any state they want to.
Leo Gessford Jr. … nice try, dumbfuck
Akomimm Kisto yea i understand you’re too stupid to realize that. not your fault your parents were a couple of retards. your daddy should have shot that load down the toilet instead.
Leo Gessford Jr. Thank god its satire anyway 🙄
Miles Wright yea i agree. newsom is trolling
They literally poop in the streets. He’s not losing anything.
They didn’t need him to burn the place down. They do that all on their own.
It’s not true. Just a fake story to see what other kind of stupid crap right wingers will believe.
Ha ha, f*ck Gavin Newsom 🏳️🌈 🤡🔥🫏💩

Not a fan of his music…but I remember when Kid Rock went around to department stores by himself all over the Nashville area to pay off every lay-away bill for families one Christmas season. It was some Target and Walmart employees that gave up the story. He didn’t look at any skin color…just wanting humans…fellow Americans to have an extra bonus in the bank for their families for the holidays.
Can they do that for Michigan too … ?
DON was cool Last time Kid had a Hit of was that Ted Nugent I get old minded whiners mixed up
“Facism”
