Kid Rock says being friends with Donald Trump has cost him corporate deals as well as late-night TV bookings, and that he does not care. He made the claim in an interview with Fox News Digital, reported on 21 October, days after telling The Detroit News he wanted to be less polarising.
Those two interviews bracket the 17 October release of his first Christian album, Halfway 2 Jesus. He pays for it himself, on his own label. His last record was the weakest-charting studio album of his career, and the new one features his old friend Eminem, a vocal Trump critic.
