Kid Rock has faces criticism on social media after saying that his support for President Donald Trump has led to him losing out on corporate deals and TV appearances.
The 55-year-old musician, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, said he no longer gets invited to major events such as the NFL or to late-night shows since he started backing the Republican leader, 80, publicly.
However, he said he doesn't regret his choice because he wants to feel free to speak his mind. It comes as Rock removed Eminem off his new track 7 Sins and replaced him with rapper Lil Wayne.

Rock told Fox News Digital, "My relationship with Trump, yeah, that canceled all the, any corporate deals coming my way.
"I don't really get invited to be part of, you know, things like the NFL or things like that ... all the shows that I was so friendly with over the years, from all the late-night talk shows to my friend Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, I don't really get invited on there anymore."

He continued, "But who's to say that won't change ... and honestly, I don't care. I did think about this when I entered the political arena, because I thought it was important for me to speak up for what I believe.
"Because, you know, I put my country before pretty much everything except my family and God. So, yeah. There's been things like that, but that's no sweat off my back."
Rock added in the interview that while he feels "thankful for all the opportunities that got me to where I am today," he believes he is now putting out a message that is "so much more important than any of that."
After Fox News shared a clip of Rock's comments on social media, many fans shared their thoughts, with one writing on X, "Kid Rock needs to not blame Trump.
"Kid Rock had become a faded star, a has- been way before Trump came along as President. This is all on kid Rock himself."

Another said, "There's nothing MAGAts love more than whining about being a victim."
A third posted, "Problem is Trump's a corrupt piece of s--t with no morals. And when you tie yourself to him then what does that say about you?"
One more said, "Trump is a fraud and a loser, and this fool lost money because he has no brains.."
Someone else posted, "Kid rock was washed 20 yrs ago. Supporting trump has nothing to do with him being irrelevant."
Another critic shared, "He was irrelevant before he endorsed Trump, not sure what he's talking about."
Rock is one of Trump's most prominent, vocal, and long-standing celebrity supporters. During the 2016 presidential campaign, he was among the first major entertainers to back Trump, stating that the country needed a businessman in the White House.
Since then, he has frequently appeared at political rallies, Republican events, and sporting matches alongside Trump.

It comes after Rock said that his latest White House dinner with Trump brought political disagreements to the table, though they agreed on socialism and communism.
During an appearance on Fox & Friends, Rock described the dinner with the president, comedian Bill Maher and sports commentator Stephen A. Smith as "epic" saying, "Two Democrats, two Republicans.
"Sit down, break bread, have laughs, have tough conversations on a lot of the issues."
The conversation covered domestic concerns and foreign policy, including the war in Iran, unemployment among Black women and support for historically Black colleges and universities.
