Early life and education of Kid Rock
Born Robert James Ritchie in Romeo, Michigan, he is a US citizen and considered white due to his ethnic origin. Kid Rock is the son of William Ritchie who worked as a car salesman and Susan Ritchie.
He has two sisters and a brother. She made headlines in 2001 when it emerged that he had been dating Pamela Anderson, whom she later married in 2006, divorcing five months later. The first single, ‘All Summer Long’, is out now on Atlantic Records. Kid Rock lives with his 15-year-old son in Charleston, Michigan.
Kid Rock was interested in rap music since his childhood. At that time, he learned the art of break dancing and participated in several talent search shows in Detroit. While attending Romeo High School, he DJed at various parties. To perform at basement parties, he teamed up with Bo Wisdom of Groove Time Productions in Michigan. It was at this time that he began to adopt the name Kid Rock.
kid rock career
Kid rock released the first albums The Polyfuze Method (1993). Early Mornin’ Stone Pimp (1996) was his second album with lyrics too dirty to play on the radio, but relentless touring and a self-promotional giveaway earned Kid Rock a cult following.
In 1998, Kid Rock’s sixth album, which broke the record of 11 million copies behind the single Bawitdaba, was sold for his sixth album Devil Without A Cause in 1998. He was able to maintain momentum after a slow start on 2001’s Cocky. , thanks in large part to the country crossover ballad Picture, which featured Sheryl Crow.
Kid Rock Net Worth, Salary & Other Facts
Kid Rock, the singer with a net worth of $80 million, is the bottom of an engine. He collects cars and bicycles. One of my more special rides is a black 1930s Cadillac V16, and then I have some West Coast Choppers. These are up there with your favorites. He owns a Southern Colonial-style farm, set on more than 50 acres. It has the large porches in the front and a corral in the back for horses. I wanted to keep it very classic so I could do the old life of it.
Kid Rock’s childhood home in Macomb County is on the market, and it’s hard ‘Born Free.’ The sprawling 5.5 acre orchard in Bruce Township, where you can be a ‘cowboy’, includes a 5,628 sf, 4 bed/7 bath home, guest house, barn, pool, and tennis courts. List price? A whopping ‘Bawitaba’ $1.295 million.
Kid Rock’s personal life
Kid Rock began an on-off, ten-year relationship with Kelley South Russell , his classmate while in eighth grade. Russell gave birth to Ritchie’s son, Robert James Ritchie Jr. in 1993. The duo raised three children while living together, but Ritchie discovered that one of them was not his own, leading the couple to separate at the end of 1993. He raised his son as a single father.
He reportedly began dating model Jaime King in 2000. He began dating Pamela Anderson in 2001. They got engaged in 2002 but ended their relationship in 2003.
In 2005, Ritchie was accused of assaulting a DJ at a strip club. In July 2006 they got married when the news of Pamela’s pregnancy was revealed. He divorced his wife Pamela after five months of marriage.
Anderson filed for divorce from Ritchie in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences on November 27, 2006. Ritchie later claimed that the divorce was due to Anderson openly criticizing his mother and sister in front of his son.
