Mark McGrath himself has confirmed Kid Rock's claim that he has “bigger ass than Mark McGrath.” The claim was made in the title track of Kid Rock's 2001 album. Conceitedand more than 20 years later, the Sugar Ray singer attests that it is “absolutely” true.
In the song's lyrics, Kid Rock stated: “I've got more money than Matchbox Twenty / I've got more ass than Mark McGrath.” On Monday (Jan. 29), music outlet Rock Feed posed the question: “Did Kid Rock really 'get more ass than Mark McGrath'?” in X (see below), to which a gentleman called Finn McKentry added: “We need @mark_mcgrath to settle the debate.”
Not long after, the Sugar Ray frontman chimed in: “I'll have to confirm that he absolutely did it, and extra points for rhyming ass with McGrath…hope that clears up any confusion.”
In 2018, McGrath appeared in The Woody Show (see below) and asked him to spill some tea on Kid Rock. While he mostly had kind things to say about American Bad Ass, he did say that their friendship “has never been the same” since a false rumor floated that McGrath dated Kid Rock's ex-wife, Pamela Anderson.
Four years earlier, in 2014, McGrath he told Country 92.5, “I have so many stories about Kid Rock. We just did the Kid Rock Cruise a couple of months ago and he invited us there. I say, 'Oh, it's been a few years.' I'm sure he's calmed down with the party and blah, blah, blah. I go up to his suite and there are five strippers falling through the door. He is there serenading everyone with his guitar. I tell him, 'Bob, I love you, man.' You'll never change'”.
Anyway, kudos to Mr. McGrath for his admirable honesty in confirming Kid Rock's “cocky” claim. Maybe someday they'll have a good laugh over a couple cans of Bud Light.
Now we only have to know about Matchbox Twenty to see if they actually have less money than Kid Rock.
I'm going to have to confirm that he absolutely did, and extra points for rhyming ass with McGrath…hope that clears up any confusion.
