Kid Rock compared his Super Bowl halftime performance to that of Bad Bunny, debunking allegations that he lip-synced during the TPUSA All-American Game halftime show. The rock star made his first appearance on Fox News on Monday to clarify the accusations.

Social media was awash with criticism of his performance of “Bawitdaba” during the TPUSA All-American Halftime Show because it appeared to be lip-synced. Giving clarification, the singer admitted that the performance was pre-recorded. He promised to record a performance of the song with his DJ and share it on social media to show fans the process.

He shared the video on social media on Tuesday, prompting mixed reactions from fans, especially X. Lobimoon commented:

The same goes for Mr. Savage Legs. commented:

“Dude, it’s actually on YouTube. Haha, just take the L. And, ironically, lip-syncing out of sync makes you more viral.”

Joey Franco wrote:

“I love you, kid, but I saw the lip sync; don’t lie. If you lie, that’s a bad thing.”

Also acquitted wrote:

“Bawitdaba is actually a duet. That’s why people get confused. When his DJ sings the lines, he drops the mic.”

Dalactenus ask:

“Did you pre-record it so you could watch the real Super Bowl halftime show? Your “Bawitdaba” lyrics are great by the way!”

“Even if it’s lip-syncing, why do we care now? Artists have been lip-syncing for years, but it only seems to matter when it’s Kid Rock.”
