Tommy Lee's Feud With Kid Rock Fully Explained
In September 2007, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock made headlines when the two fought each other during the MTV Video Music Awards. Due to the high-profile event, the altercation was observed by several celebrities. At the time, Carson Daly told Access (via Today), "From our vantage point it looked like Tommy Lee went over to say hello to [Sean "Diddy" Combs] 'cause Kid Rock was out of his seat." He continued, "Kid Rock came back to his seat and all hell broke loose." According to bystanders, the awards show fight only resulted in one punch being thrown. "I can't say who started it. Tommy Lee took a blow," radio personality Sway Calloway said.
Afterwards, the Mötley Crüe drummer took to his blog to give his rendition of the dust up. "Here I am minding my own biz [when] I get a tap on the shoulder from Kid Pebble," Lee wrote in September 2007, via People. According to Lee, he tried to greet Rock cordially at first, but the friendly gesture was not reciprocated. "He punches me in the face ... well if ya wanna call it that!? ... more like a b**** slap!" Lee blogged.
Following the fisticuffs, Lee and Rock were both removed from the VMAs. Initially, Rock denied ever throwing a punch. "I never hit nobody for nothing before," the "Bawitdaba" singer said, per MTV. Later, Rock further opened up about the fight.
