Kid Rock Ordered To Pay $35,000 Over Battery Claim

Kid Rock has agreed to pay three guys $35,000 in compensation for the assault lawsuit they filed against him in 2006. The men claimed Rock and three members of the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. hip-hop group attacked them after they asked for autographs.

Michael Medlin, Jose Perez, and Carlos Bonilla alleged that the "All Summer Long" hitmaker and the rap group assaulted them after they asked for autographs in the early morning of March 22, 2006. They were allegedly seriously hurt after the encounter. Their cameras were also stolen by Rock and the Boo-Yaa members.

They sued over wage loss, loss of use of property, hospital and medical expenses, property and general damages, and loss of earning capacity.

Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, denied having anything to do with the trio or the lost of their cameras.

The jury determined that the singer should pay $35,000 for the plaintiffs to split. The amount is not bad at all, considering the trio originally demanded $15 million.
