Kid Rock melts down over audience not clapping, storms off stage at Nashville bar: ‘F–k y’all’

Kid Rock had a meltdown and stormed off stage because the audience wasn’t clapping along to his performance.

The controversial musician, 54, made a surprise appearance at JBJ’s Nashville — a bar and music venue owned by Jon Bon Jovi — on Saturday for a birthday celebration in honor of the latter’s band’s keyboardist, David Bryan.

When Rock took the stage to join Bryan, he was met with applause, according to a video taken by an audience member.

About a minute into a rendition of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 hit “Proud Mary” alongside a female vocalist, Rock began to clap his hands together and encouraged the crowd to do the same.

But not many people followed along, which prompted him to blurt out into the mic, “No, f–k them! F–k them!”

“Hey, hey, stop, stop!” he instructed everyone who was on stage with him.

“If you ain’t gonna clap, we ain’t gonna sing! That’s how it’s gonna work!” he scolded those in attendance, who quickly began to cheer.

Before the music picked back up, Rock once again began clapping his hands together to inspire the patrons to keep it up.

“Don’t get too fast,” he demanded as he began to sing again.

However, the clapping died down after a while, at which point he stopped the show again.
