Hat tip to Jack Cocchiarella, who adds that organizers cancelled the Anderson, SC show on Kid Rocks MAGA tour. They got standards, they say.

Kid Rock denied that his performance at the "All-American Halftime Show" was lip-synced after watchers pointed out inconsistencies during the performance of "Bawitdaba."

Rock said in a video on X, posted on Feb. 10, that the production crew who filmed the performance was not "super familiar" with the song and did not show his DJ, Paradime, whom he alternates lyrics with during the song.

"When we're rapping it, that song takes so much energy," Rock said. "He's filling in those words for me so I can (catch my breath), bang my head, keep going and carrying on."

Rock acknowledged in a Feb. 9 interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" that the performance was prerecorded and that syncing issues were noticed in early edits.

Kid Rock has denied lip-syncing during his performance of "Bawitdaba" at Turning Point USA's "All-American Halftime Show."

Instead, he told Fox News that he was "out of sync" with his DJ and that, because he was "jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey," it was "very difficult" for his team to correct the performance in post-production.

"It was just a syncing issue that they had, and I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult."
