Kid Rock was released
from police custody, after posting $3000 bond on a charge of simple assault.
The rapper/musician
allegedly punched a DJ during an altercation after 3:00
am at Christie’s Cabaret, in downtown Nashville.
Police said that
the altercation occurred over the selection of music.
Local television broadcast footage of the DJ, Jay Campos, leaving
the club with a red mark on his face, carrying his broken eyeglasses.
In related news, the rapper’s relationship Warner could be souring.
Kid Rock recently ended his relationship with publishing company
Warner-Tamerlane and threatened that an exit from the label – despite owing
three more albums – could be next "pending their attitude."
Warner Music Group was bought by Edgar Bronfman Jr. for $2.3
billion dollars in November of 2003.
The company is privately owned but sources stated that an IPO,
which will make the company publicly traded, is on the horizon.
The Detroit bred rapper said that Warner didn’t support his
2004 tour and said that he was looking to place his new recording projects with
a company that was more interested "in music than IPO’s."
