Kid Rock is all fired up amid Bud Light’s decision to partner up with a transgender activist — and we mean that literally — ’cause he’s out firing bullets over the whole thing.
The singer/rapper posted a video to his social media Monday, which was uncaptioned … but was also self-explanatory in what was shown. Namely, it’s him grabbing an AR-style rifle of some sort and firing a ton of bullets at a few cases of Bud Light off in the distance.
He starts his video by saying, “grandpa’s feeling a little frisky today,” and then proceeds to shoot up the beer … which he had teed up for him on a table near a lake.
Finally, he hits his point home by once again talking to the camera … this time saying, “F*** Bud Light and f*** Anheuser-Busch. Have a terrific day.”
Now, if you’re wondering why KR is all pissy about Bud Light … it’s no secret if you’ve been following the news lately. Dylan Mulvaney — who’s a transgender woman and a social media influencer who’s been documenting her transition journey online — has partnered with BL.

She did a promo for Bud Light a couple days ago … flashing a bunch of their signature blue cans and plugging some sort of sweepstakes they were running. Dylan also posted a photo of a custom Bud Light can with her face on it … something sent over by Anheuser.
There was swift backlash from people who apparently didn’t like their fave brew company teaming with DM … including a lot of conservatives, like Kid Rock. Anheuser-Busch has since spoken out and defended its partnership with Dylan, advocating for a diverse consumer base … while also noting her custom can is not available to the public. It was just a gift.

If Anheuser was trying to reach the LGBTQ+ community, Dylan is certainly a great person to tap for a sponsorship — she’s been blowing up over the past year … and has a big following.
