Kid Rock is apparently late night phone buddies with President Donald Trump.
The “Bawitdaba” rocker tells Australia’s Sky News that his relationship with Trump is “f****** awesome” and says that he’ll call the president late at night.
“It’s one of my late night drinking tricks because I know when to get him,” Rock says. “He’s so gracious, he always picks up or he’ll call and check in just to shoot the s***.”
As for what they talk about, Rock says that Trump isn’t calling to ask, “What should we do in Iran … ?”
“But, if I’m sitting around having some beers if it’s like 11, 12, on a Friday or Saturday, I know he’s up,” Rock says. “He sleeps like me, he sleeps five hours.”
He adds, “I enjoy the hell out of hanging out with [Trump] and talking with him and just having a front row seat to the greatest s*** show on earth.”
Rock’s relationship with Trump previously made headlines when two Apache attack helicopters did a flyby near the musician’s home in Nashville in March. After the pilots involved were initially suspended, Rock told ABC Nashville affiliate WKRN, “I think they’re going to be alright — my buddy is the commander in chief.”
Shortly thereafter, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said that the suspensions had been lifted.
