Rock-Rapper Kid Rock
is Country Singer Hank Williams Jr.'s Son-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor The rumor is that Kid Rock
is the son of country music legend Hank Williams Jr.
The Truth
We've gotten several inquiries about
this...and it's not true.
Kid Rock's real name is Robert Ritchie and Hank Williams Jr. is one
of his heroes, but not his father. The two have performed
together and the rumor may have been prompted by a track from one of
Hank Jr.s' albums on which Kid Rock plays electric guitar.
Hank Jr. introduces him as his "rebel son."
Hank Williams Jr.'s website says the two of them are good friends
and that Kid Rock was the one who started calling himself Hank Jr.'s
rebel son.
There is a son of Hank Williams, Jr., Hank Williams III, who is also
a singer-songwriter.
