AP – 'Kid Rock' reacts as he listens while the plaintiff's attorney plays the 911 recording from the night …
Kid Rock — whose real name is Robert James Ritchie — and five members of his entourage are being sued over the fight. Kid Rock was in court Tuesday and Wednesday and is expected to testify Thursday.
Harlen Akins claims the musician cursed at him during the early morning fight, and then members of his entourage beat Akins up and smashed his cell phone.
Kid Rock pleaded guilty in March 2008 to a misdemeanor charge of simple battery.
The musician stopped at the restaurant following a performance in Atlanta. The fight broke out after Akins recognized a woman in Kid Rock's party and spoke to her.
