Kid Rock on the Waffle House brawl

Kid Rock has spoken on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show about the Waffle House brawl in Atlanta that led to him and five entourage members being arrested.

Kid Rock has being talking about that previously reported brawl at a Waffle House restaurant in Atlanta which saw him and five members of his entourage arrested. As previously reported, the rocker got into a run in with one Harlen DeJon Akins at a Waffle House restaurent last weekend.

Commenting on the incident, on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show on Thursday, he said: "Last thing I want is to have a reputation. [But] I believe in standing up for things I believe in. Being honest sometimes gets me in a little bit of trouble. It started with me celebrating a great show that night. We were hungry. It was late at night. I know the people work hard at Waffle House so I tipped people behind the counter and gave $300 to split up. Bought everyone breakfast in there. We had a good time. [Then] this one kid just started talking ... And then one thing led to another, windows were breaking, cussing and fussing ... the mud, the blood and the beer. He said, 'I hope you get mad, I'll sue the hell out of you.' I'm like, 'Take a number'".

It is unclear what charges Rock now faces in relation to the incident.
