It turns out that there's another country music star that's not only friends with Kid Rock, but also lives near him.

Jon Pardi recently sat down with Evan Paul on Taste of Country Nights. There, he touched on his friendship with Kid Rock, who he calls Bob. So you know they're really friends.
Paul asked Pardi when the last time he went to a Nashville bar was, and he spoke about a night he had with Kid Rock.
"I think it was last month," he recalled. "I was out with Kid Rock, and we went to Bob's little VIP place, but we took off about midnight." See? Not only are they on a first name basis, but technically Pardi uses a nickname.
Kid Rock's real name is Robert James Ritchie, and Bob is commonly used as shorthand for 'Robert.'
Pardi divulged that Kid Rock's 'Kid Rock's Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N' Roll Steakhouse' in downtown Nashville is "wild."
"People come to Nashville and go, 'I'm gonna go to Kid Rock's and get wasted! I'm gonna throw up right in front of it.'" That's a pretty crazy plan to have, but I can see the appeal.
Then, Paul asked Pardi what it's like to hang out with Kid Rock, which is when he shared that they were neighbors.
Jon Pardi And Kid Rock Are Neighbors
Well, not exactly next-door neighbors, but they're close enough, being only "two miles" apart.
"Bob's a good dude. He's a good guy. I met Bob like almost eight years ago. He lives by me, so it's like, y'know, got that country neighbor," he shared.
I immediately wondered if Pardi was talking about Kid Rock's famous White House replica. As luck would have it, he was.
The White House replica that he doesn't allow guests to stay the night in (according to Uncle Kracker) is the property Jon Pardi lives by. No wonder they're not right next to each other, there's a lot of space around Kid Rock's White House house.
Apparently, you never know when you're going to bump into ol' Kid Rock around town. I have a feeling the man tends to appear in places you wouldn't necessarily expect him to.
