The singer was big mad about trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney becoming the beer brand's new ambassador.

Kid Rock has sparked outrage on social media after posting a video of himself shooting cases of Bud Light beer in protest against the company's collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Mulvaney, who gained fame on TikTok for her Day 365 Of Girlhood video series, was sent a personalized can of Bud Light with her face on it to commemorate a year since she began her gender transition.


However, the partnership has drawn criticism from bigoted social media users, who have called for a boycott of the brand and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch.

An Instagram post showcasing Mulvaney sponsoring Budweiser products can be seen below.

In the video, which has been viewed more than 2.3 million times on Twitter and over 213,000 times on Instagram, Kid Rock—whose real name is Robert James Ritchie—can be seen holding an assault rifle and shooting at cases of Bud Light until they burst open and liquid poured out of them.

He then turned to the camera and raised his middle finger, shouting,

"F**k Bud Light and f**k Anheuser-Busch."

You can see Kid Rock's video below.

Anheuser-Busch has defended its collaboration with Mulvaney, stating that the personalized can was sent as a "gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public."

The company also said that it works with "hundreds of influencers" across its brands "as one of many ways to connect with audiences across various demographics."

Many have criticized Kid Rock's childish, violent reaction and his video was immediately called out for transphobia.






Mulvaney has recently entered into a second partnership with Bud Light, following her collaboration with women's fashion company Kate Spade, which she announced within a week.

According to Assil Dayri, a social media expert and founder of AMD Consulting Group, Mulvaney earns $75,000 for each endorsement deal she signs, which can double when the posts are made on Instagram.

Mulvaney, who is represented by the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in Los Angeles, is estimated to earn as much as $1 million per year from these deals.

In addition to this, the University of Pittsburgh reportedly paid $26,250 for a speaking appearance by Mulvaney this month, according to the campus newspaper.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
