RIP to Kid Rock's Instagram page after the BeyHive come after him

Lol. The Beyhives don't joke with their queen. Before you slam Beyonce, please think of them, they don't joke and they have time. While promoting his new album, Kid Rock bashed Beyonce, saying he doesn't understand why she's a big deal, that she doesn't do much for him. (Read here).
He shouldn't have said that. The BeyHive went bananas. Kid Rock mainly uses his Instagram account to promote concerts and appearances going days and sometimes weeks without any posts. And most times, the posts have very few, if any, comments. That was before he dissed Queen Bey.
Now look at what every single post on Kid Rock's Instagram page going back to its inception looks like now - see it after the cut...
