Kid Rock has pleaded not guilty to a battery charge following a fight in a Waffle House last year. The star and five members of his entourage were arrested for misdemeanor battery after a brawl in an Atlanta restaurant in October following a concert in the area.

Rock – whose real name is Robert James Ritchie – wasn’t at the DeKalb County State Court. His lawyer Darryl Cohen waived an arraignment hearing and entered a not guilty plea on the 37-year-old’s behalf.
