Kid Rock paid off the balances of 350 layaway accounts at a Walmart store in Nashville.
The musician gave the 3458 Dickerson Pike store about $81,000 to pay down all of the accounts, said Tom Meyer, the store’s manager.
« Kudos to Kid Rock for making such a gesture in our community, » Meyer said. « I think that’s a pretty Nashville proud moment. »
Kid Rock said on Twitter that he was following director Tyler Perry’s lead. Perry posted a video on Twitter, saying he had paid off the layaway balances at two Georgia locations.
« @tylerperry Great idea! I followed your lead and paid off the layaway at my local Walmart in Nashville. Merry Christmas and God Bless You! » said Kid Rock, in the tweet.

Meyer said Rock called the store on Friday morning, explaining that he wanted to spread some good cheer by paying down the balances. Rock’s manager later came into the store to make the big payment.
It was a shocking, cool moment for Meyer, he said. And he said it has been an awesome experience letting customers know their accounts have been paid off.
