As previously reported, fans recently accused Kid Rock of lip syncing during Turning Point USA’s “All-American American Halftime Show.” However, he has since denied the allegations, claiming it looked off because the performance “was out of sync.”

Rock said the following during a recent appearance on The Ingraham Angle:

“It was out of sync. And actually, just to have some fun with the haters — I can’t answer all the trolls, but it’s gonna be some fun. My DJ, who actually raps that song with me, he was not lit up. He’s coming to Nashville tonight, flying in, and we’re gonna do that live in my living room and I’m gonna post it tomorrow to show people exactly how this works. Because #1: if it would have been a lip syncing like people are trying… you know, the left is trying to throw me under the bus again, the mainstream media and social media tries to amplify it.

It would have been super easy to sync it up, if it was pre-recorded. It was very difficult for the Turning Point production crew — who by the way I can’t say enough good things about — but was very difficult for them. I’m jumping around the stage like a rabid monkey, rapping my song, and I’m taking breaths, and my DJ is filling in the other parts of it — I even told them when I saw the rough cut, I was like, ‘You guys got to work on that sync. It’s off.’ So it was just a syncing issue that they had, and I know they tried to get it right. It was very difficult.

But I’ll answer all the haters tomorrow and we’ll put ’em back in the shut up and go back to trying to report the fake news.”

Notably, the lip syncing accusation wasn’t the only controversy. Turning Point USA, who put the show together for the MAGA crowd protesting Bad Bunny and Green Day’s Super Bowl performances, claimed it was an “American faith, family and freedom” event. However, many found that label to be hypocritical due to Rock’s past lyrics about underage girls.
