Kid Rock became drunk and belligerent and reportedly brandished a gun at Rolling Stone journalist David Peisner during an off the rails interview at the artists home in Nashville, Tennessee, last month.

The sprawling interview, published Sunday, unpacked Rocks evolution from Detroit party starter to MAGA mouthpiece, painting a picture of a seasoned celebrity who revels in the reactions his conservative posturing receives from supporters and critics.

After hours of casual drinking and trying to bait Peisner into political debates over the singers bestie, Donald Trump , immigration, Rocks now-defunct Budweiser boycott and the Confederate flag, Peisner claimed Rocks playful provocations turned into something more combative.

While in the stars home recording studio, Peisner said Rock grew increasingly erratic after trading his white wine for Jim Beam and Diet Coke and downing at least three or four of them in pretty quick succession.

As Peisner wrote:

Hes sitting in a dark leather chair, shouting at me about something or other, when he reaches behind the seat, pulls out a black handgun, and waves it around to make some sort of point.

And I got a fucking goddamn gun right here if I need it! he shouts. I got them everywhere!

This was the tenor of the next hour or so.

The journalist also claimed Rock casually dropped the N-word several times during the chat.

HuffPost has reached out to both Rock and Peisner for comment.
