Kid Rock opened up about his friendship with President Donald Trump, calling it "f---ing awesome."

"He's so gracious, he always picks up or he'll call and check in just to shoot the s---," the "All Summer Long" rocker told Sky News as part of a one-hour special entitled Trump's America: 250 Years in the Making.

Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, also revealed that texting Trump is "one of my late-night drills."

"If I'm sitting around having some beers if it's like 11, 12 on a Friday or Saturday, I know he's up," the "Cowboy" musician admitted. "He sleeps like me; he sleeps five hours."

In the past, the "Picture" crooner has performed at numerous presidential campaign rallies for Trump, visited the White House and spent time with him in public, including a 2024 UFC match.

In February, Rock headlined the Turning Point USA's All-American Halftime Show. "I think the president would prefer a Kid Rock performance, I must say," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt remarked at the time, per PEOPLE.
