Last week, we reported that the singer Kid Rock had made a video of himself shooting up cases of Bud Light after the brand teamed up with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for a campaign. On Monday morning, the radio host Howard Stern fired back at Kid Rock, saying that he’s baffled by his reaction to Bud Light going woke.

Stern Sounds Off
“Kid Rock and Travis Tritt lost their s*** over this beer can thing,” Stern said on his radio show, according to Mediaite. “And I saw a video of — Kid Rock took out like one of these assault rifles, or I don’t know what it is — AR whatever, and he blew up the cans of beer. He was very upset and he didn’t want to drink Bud Light. He said, ‘F*** you Budweiser.”
Stern went on to say that he had no problem with Bud Light collaborating with Mulvaney, who was given a beer can with her face on it to celebrate her “365 days of girlhood.”
“I thought there must be a piece of this story that I’m missing and I don’t know why — I’m not bothered by gay people or transsexual people,” Stern continued. “They don’t impact my life. They don’t hurt my life. I love when people are in love. You wanna be a woman, be a woman, you wanna be a dude, be a dude, be whatever you fucking want. Long as you ain’t hurting anybody, I’m on your team.”
Dylan Mulvaney (she/they) and Bud Light (piss/water) are a perfect match. One identifies as a woman and one identifies as beer; both are poor knockoffs of the real thing.pic.twitter.com/WMk5MB71H8

Stern Invites Kid Rock On His Show
Stern then invited Kid Rock to come on his show to talk about why he was so outraged by the campaign.
“I mean, he’s got a great life. He transitioned from some kid in Michigan to a rock superstar,” he added. “And that was a good transition… I’m really dumbfounded by why someone would care so much that they would blow up a can of Bud Light and say, ‘F*** Anheuser-Busch.’ I don’t get it.”
Stern concluded by saying that Kid Rock dressed “flamboyantly” when he got his start in the music industry.
“I remember Kid Rock when he started because — I’m a fan and he used to dress up, he used to do our show,” the radio host said. “He would wear a feather boa — you know, when he first started out with maybe even a mink coat, you know what I mean? He was flamboyant in his own way. He, he expressed himself in his own way.”
Dylan Mulvaney has become the new brand ambassador for Bud Light. 🍺
The beer brand even made a special edition Dylan Mulvaney Can 🥤celebrating his 365 days of girlhood.

Kid Rock’s Video
Daily Mail reported that this came after Kid Rock took to social media to post a video of himself shooting up cases of Bud Light with an automatic gun, saying that he wanted to send a “clear and concise” message to Bud Light after the company teamed up with Mulvaney.
“Grandpa is feeling a little frisky today. Let me tell you as clear and concise as possible,” Kid Rock said before shooting at cases of Bud Light that had been stacked on a table next to a river.
“F*** Bud Light, and f*** Anheuser-Busch. Have a terrific day,” Kid Rock concluded.

The country music star Travis Tritt also attacked Bud Light for the Mulvaney collaboration, saying that he will be boycotting the beer company over it. Since then, many others on social media have joined Tritt’s boycott of the brand.
Country music star Travis Tritt announced a boycott of all products by Anheuser-Busch, joining Kid Rock in protesting it’s beer giant Bud Light, for teaming up with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Stern can be confused over Kid Rock’s stance all he wants to, but millions of Americans feel the same way that the singer does. In the end, Bud Light is about to learn the hard way that we’ve had enough of all the woke nonsense.
