Kid Rock Changes Stance on Bud Light Boycott

The musician, who led a boycott against the beer brand following their partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, now says he hopes the brand thrives again.

  • Kid Rock, who led a boycott against Bud Light following their partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, has expressed a change in stance, stating that he believes the brand has 'got the message' and that he hopes it thrives again.
  • Rock's boycott, which began in April, was in response to Bud Light's decision to allow Mulvaney to promote their product. The musician was seen shooting cans of the beer in a video posted to social media, sparking a widespread boycott among conservatives.
  • Despite the backlash, Rock has been seen drinking Bud Light in public since the boycott and has stated in recent interviews that he believes the brand made a mistake but has learned from it.
  • Anheuser-Busch, the parent company of Bud Light, faced significant criticism and financial losses following the controversy. The company has stated that it remains committed to its partnerships across various communities, including the LGBTQ+ community.
  • Rock's comments have sparked discussions about cancel culture and the impact of boycotts on brands and their employees. The musician has expressed his hope that other companies will learn from Bud Light's experience.
