Kid Rock Stuns Bill Maher By Praising Kendrick Lamar’s ‘All Black People’ Super Bowl Performance: Turned ‘DEI Into An IED’

Kid Rock left Bill Maher nearly at a loss for words on Friday after he praised Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance and the fact that it was “all Black people.”

Kid Rock joined Maher on Real Time and during their opening interview, the musician threw some praise Lamar’s way, saying he “turned DEI into an IED,” referring to Diversity Equity and Inclusion, as well as an Improvised Explosive Device.

“This is the epitome of DEI. This is the epitome of DEI blowing up because, you know, the NFL is all this DEI and racism, all this stuff that got Jay-Z in their book and this. Kendrick Lamar goes out there and basically turns DEI into an IED. It’s it’s like it’s all Black people are all people of color, speaking to his crowd in the hood, Black people. It was like the most not exclusive or the most exclusive thing ever and I’m like, fuck yeah, that’s awesome. I’m laughing my ass off.”

Maher chuckled at the response before diving back into a conversation about “bringing people together.” The Real Time host had asked Kid Rock about his concerts turning into MAGA rallies.

Rock suggested performers like Lamar and Jay Z were products of the NFL trying to go woke.

“I’ve heard nobody answer this question yet, like, how did he get that gig? Jay-Z. What happened there? I think Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar should both send Colin Kaepernick a bundt cake and a six pack of beer and a thank you note with a bunch of money in it. Because without him kneeling and getting everyone’s panties in a bunch over the anthem, self included, I don’t think that happens.”
