FACT CHECK: No, Kid Rock Did Not Bring ‘Millions In Supplies’ To North Carolina After Hurricane Helene

Anna Mock | Fact Check Reporter

A post shared on X claims musician Kid Rock brought millions of dollars worth of supplies to North Carolina to aid in recovery from Hurricane Helene. 

Verdict: False

There is no evidence for this claim and it was originally posted by a satirical website.

Fact Check: 

Hurricane Helene displaced many citizens in western North Carolina due to its widespread damage, according to AP News. The state’s election board approved a resolution that would allow voters in 13 counties that were significantly impacted to have more ways to obtain and deliver absentee ballots, NBC News reported.

A post claims Kid Rock brought a significant amount of supplies to North Carolina to aid with hurricane recovery. The post shared the claim in text. (RELATED: Matt Gaetz Post About FEMA Funding Is From Hurricane Ian, Not Hurricane Helene)

“Kid Rock heads to North Carolina with Millions in supplies – Taylor Swift Nowhere to be Found,” the post reads.

This post is inaccurate, however. There are no credible news reports to corroborate the claim.

The claim was originally posted by a satirical account. The account’s bio reads, “A subsidiary of the America’s Last Line of Defense network of trollery. Nothing on this page is real.” It was also posted in the form of an article by Dunning-Kruger-Times.com, a subsidiary of the same “America’s Last Line of Defense” network. Similarly, the site’s about us page indicates that the website is satirical.
