Tyler Perry Inspires Kid Rock to Perform Major Act of Kindness in Nashville


Actor and director Tyler Perry dropped over $400k to pay off the layaway debts at two Atlanta-area Walmarts this week, inspiring Kid Rock to do the same here in Nashville

โ€œI know itโ€™s hard times, everyoneโ€™s struggling and Iโ€™m just really, really grateful to be able to be in a position to do this,โ€ Perry said in a video posted to social media Thursday night. โ€œSo, God bless you, go get your stuff. Merry Christmas!โ€

The next day, Kid Rock followed suit.

Tom Meyer, who manages the local Walmart selected by Kid Rock, told WBIR-TV that Kid called Friday to set up the deal. It cost $81,000 to close out the store's 350 layaway accounts. Customers have also received cards that say "Merry Christmas from your neighbor! - Kid Rock" with their items. 

The move comes just one week after Kid Rock had to step down from being Grand Marshal of the Nashville Christmas parade, after he made a controversial comment about Joy Behar on Fox & Friends

We love seeing people step up in the spirit of giving this holiday season!
