Kid Rock tells Maxim that he’s sick of stars who pretend they’re tired of all the media attention, and calls out celebrities who notify the paparazzi of where they’re going to party:

“Anytime somebody complains about being in the tabloids, it’s bulls–t. ‘How do I keep getting caught on camera?’ Maybe because you f–king called them?”

Kid also said that his fight with Tommy Lee at the Video Music Awards was orchestrated by the award show’s organizers, who wanted to start some drama between the two former Mr. Pamela Andersons. However, that didn’t stop him from capitalizing on the attention:

Ultimately, Rock said it wasn’t hard to find a silver lining to the VMA tussle — it gave him loads of publicity and helped him promote the new album, which he called his “best effort to date.”

“I hope it fills a void that seems to be missing from music — and that’s the great classic American rock record,” Rock said.
