Kid Rock was in the news last week when he posted a video of himself shooting up cans of Bud Light with a rifle. It was a protest of the beer maker’s use of an image of transgender woman Dylan Mulvaney on some cans of Bud Light.
Anheuser Busch had sent some specially made cans of the beer to Mulvaney, who is a social media influencer. She had been celebrating one year of undergoing a transition from male to female.
The partnership between Anheuser Busch and Mulvaney angered many. In a statement addressing the issue, the company wrote, “Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points.”
It added, “From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”
