On Nov 3, 2024, SpaceX Fanclub published a meme alleging that musician Kid Rock refused to allow fellow musical artist Jennifer Lopez onstage during her concert performance due to Harris’ endorsement for president in 2024.
This meme featured an eye-catching caption which read: “Kid Rock Refuses to Allow Jennifer Lopez On Stage and Has Her Expelled from Concert After She Endoreses Kid Rock’s Song.
(SpaceX Fanclub/Facebook) Rumors quickly spread among other Facebook accounts, including We Are Patriots. Both SpaceX Fanclub and We Are Patriots linked back to an Esspots article with information regarding this matter as part of their posts’ comments section – reporting, for instance:
Kid Rock recently had Jennifer Lopez removed from his concert on Saturday after she attempted to join him on stage, according to sources familiar with the event. Kid Rock’s security team moved swiftly in response, quickly ushering Lopez out shortly after making her way toward him in response to her recent endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris by Lopez.
Some Facebook commenters appeared to believe the claim, with one SpaceX Fanclub user writing in its comments section: “Good job! It is time we all stand up against those entitled individuals unaffected by let’s hateful policies!” And on We Are Patriots post one social media user wrote “Jennifer Lopez is a Communist”.
Others noted the “Rated Satire” stamp at the top-left corner of each meme and commented accordingly; one Facebook user wrote “If you read at the bottom it says this satire not true and only on here to cause trouble :/”.
However, this item was purely fictional; rather, SpaceX Fanclub on Facebook posts humorous satirical content and states in its intro page: “Please remember this page only features fake news or fiction! Everything posted here is made-up.”

No other reputable media outlet covered Kid Rock’s humorous tale about Lopez being denied permission to perform because she supported Democratic candidate Harris during an October 31 Las Vegas rally, when Kid Rock publicly supported Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. No other outlet reported it either.
Lopez and Kid Rock first shared the stage (with rapper Ja Rule as their special guests) to entertain troops stationed at Ramstein Air Base, in southwestern Germany in 2001.
Snopes has previously addressed similar claims pertaining to both performers, such as Kid Rock allegedly shipping millions in supplies following recent hurricanes and a photo purporting to show Lopez sans makeup.
