Kid Rock denied that his performance at the "All-American Halftime Show" was lip-synced after watchers pointed out inconsistencies during the performance of "Bawitdaba."

Rock said in a video on X, posted on Feb. 10, that the production crew who filmed the performance was not "super familiar" with the song and did not show his DJ, Paradime, whom he alternates lyrics with during the song.

"When we're rapping it, that song takes so much energy," Rock said. "He's filling in those words for me so I can (catch my breath), bang my head, keep going and carrying on."

Rock acknowledged in a Feb. 9 interview on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" that the performance was prerecorded and that syncing issues were noticed in early edits.
