Kid Rock got into the holiday spirit, and following in the footsteps by others this season, is paying off a number of layaway accounts at a Nashville Walmart. The rocker recently announced he was inspired by similar actions of filmmaker Tyler Perry. Born Robert James Ritchie, Kid Rock paid $81,000 to clear 350 layaway accounts, Tom Meyer, the manager of the store, said on Saturday. Rock also tweeted about it, thanking Perry for the idea, saying: “@tylerperry Great idea! I followed your lead and paid off the layaway at my local Walmart in Nashville. Merry Christmas and God Bless You!”
