His story is well known in Michigan. People hated his early “rap” career, but dude wouldn’t be faded.
Kid Rock was born Robert James Ritchie in Romeo, Michigan, on January 17, 1971, the son of Susan and William Ritchie, who owned multiple car dealerships.[2][3][4] He was raised in his father's large home on extensive property,[2][5] where he regularly helped his family pick apples and care for their horses.[6] He attended Romeo High School.[7] His younger sister, Jill Ritchie, is an actress.[8] In the 1980s, Kid Rock became interested in hip hop, began to breakdance, and taught himself how to rap and DJ while performing in talent shows in and around Detroit.[2][3]
