Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr and Kid Rock's 'inappropriate' video working out together has prompted the Governor of California to 'ban' Rock.
Aw, poor Kid Rock isn't catching much of a break these days, is he?
Earlier this month, Rock found himself accused of lip-syncing during an alternative Super Bowl halftime show performance.
The performance even caught the attention of Bill Maher who decided to give Rock a little text to let him know his thoughts.

And Rock has since hit headlines yet again after a video of him and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr went viral.
The video has been described as 'a f**king joke and embarrassment,' by one X user.
Another simply commented: "This is weird."
And so shocking is the video, Governor of California Gavin Newsom has since apparently 'banned' Kid Rock from the state over it.
In a post shared to X on February 21, the 'Official account for the press office of @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom #CaliforniaForAll' wrote: "I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. AS GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD, I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AM OFFICIALLY BANNING “KID ROCK” FROM CALIFORNIA.
"HIS SHIRTLESS VIDEO WITH 'SECRETARY BRAINWORM' WAS INAPPROPRIATE, CREEPY, AND VERY LOW ENERGY. NOT WHAT YOU WANT AROUND OUR CHILDREN!"
Not stopping there, Newsom took a moment to critique Rock's push-up form too, branding them 'some of the weakest' he's 'ever witnessed'.
I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH. AS GOVERNOR OF THE FREE WORLD, I, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AM OFFICIALLY BANNING “KID ROCK” FROM CALIFORNIA. HIS SHIRTLESS VIDEO WITH “SECRETARY BRAINWORM” WAS INAPPROPRIATE, CREEPY, AND VERY LOW ENERGY. NOT WHAT YOU WANT AROUND OUR CHILDREN! ALSO, SOME OF THE WEAKEST…

He resolved: "CALIFORNIA ONLY ALLOWS WINNERS! I AM ALSO BANNING WORKING OUT IN JEANS, VERY STRANGE! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GOVERNOR GCN."
Sorry jeans lovers, but put them back in the cupboard and get yourself some joggers or proper gym attire instead.
And if you haven't seen the video already? Well, to save you from being 'traumatized' like one viewer...
It shows Kennedy Jr and Rock taking to the gym to 'rock out' a 'work out'.
The caption reads: "I’ve teamed up with Kid Rock to deliver two simple messages to the American people: GET ACTIVE + EAT REAL FOOD."
The pair can be seen helping each other through various sets and having a go on various weights machines before even whipping their tops off in the sauna...
They then hop into a pool and cheers a glass of 'whole milk'.
As one X user wrote: "It doesn’t get any better than this' — really? I can name 500 things better than this."
UNILAD has contacted representatives for Kid Rock for comment.
