Kid Rock is in the news after his performance at the Turning Point USA halftime show. He wants to make it clear that he was not lip-synching his song “Bawitdaba” during the event, despite some jokes and criticism online.
In a video shared on social media, Kid Rock explained that his performance was pre-recorded. He said the production team had trouble matching the audio and video correctly. He insisted that if he had been lip-synching, it would have looked better.
Kid Rock also mentioned that he noticed the syncing issue when he reviewed the first cut of his performance. He said, “The sync is off,” and added that it was difficult for the crew because they were not very familiar with the song.
He pointed out that his energetic performance made it harder for the editors to match the audio to the video. It is common for filmmakers to use a clapperboard to help with this, but it seems this was not done in his case.
Despite the mistakes, Kid Rock praised the Turning Point team and expressed confidence that they would have fixed the issues if they had more time. He thanked them for their hard work.
