Kid Rock takes swipe at ‘angry’ Michelle Obama for skipping Donald Trump’s inauguration

Kid Rock called out former First Lady Michelle Obama for snubbing President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration — just days before the ceremony.

“She seems a little angry,” Rock said on Jesse Watters Primetime on Thursday night.

Rock, who is a vocal Trump supporter, recalled when he was tasked with performing at the Youth Inaugural Ball hours after former President Barack Obama was first sworn into office in 2009.

The 5-time Grammy nominee, 54, agreed to the gig at the Hilton Washington alongside rapper Kanye West and rock band Fall Out Boy out of “respect for the president.”

“I would kindly remind her that years back when Obama was first elected, I did not vote for him. But they asked me to play the Inauguration. And I played it and I went,” the rocker said. “I had a good time. I went out of respect for the President so I would kindly remind Michelle about that.”

Obama, 61, will skip the 60th Presidential Inauguration at the Capitol after she failed to show up at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral last week in Washington, DC. 

“Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration,” the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama said in a statement.

The former first lady’s team did not provide a reason for her expected absence.  

The Obamas attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden are expected to attend the historic event next week.

Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and their wives Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton are also due to attend Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. 

On Monday, sources told Page Six that Trump’s team was “having a good laugh” over Michelle Obama’s decision.

“They didn’t expect her to come anyway,” a source says of those involved in planning the inaugural festivities.

Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, took the stage on the final night of the Republican National Convention in July to play his hit song “American Bad A–” before Trump accepted the GOP presidential nomination.

However, Rock said he “respectfully” declined an invitation to “play a couple of songs” at Trump’s inauguration ceremony — but offered his help in planning. 

He teased that he created something “pretty special” for the event.

“I’ve spent so much time on this,” he said. “I put something together. I put it all down on paper to the minute. Everything choreographed.”

“They loved it. Of course we get into it and we’re going through the due diligence to get it done and — god bless them — here comes the Secret Service.”

“They’re like, yeah, we can’t light off fireworks and have big pyrotechnics. I’m not sure we could have strippers on poles,” he quipped.

The “All Summer Long” singer will instead perform at the “Make America Great Again Rally” at Capital One Arena to cap off the Inauguration Day events late Monday.
