Artist Kid Rock and country music star Travis Tritt recently condemned Anheuser-Busch for its partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, a 25-year-old transgender activist celebrating “365 Days of Girlhood” despite being a man.
Tritt announced on Wednesday that he was dropping Anheuser-Busch products from his tour. The change was made along with other artists that he said “are doing the same thing.”

“I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same,” he tweeted. “Other artists who are deleting Anheuser-Busch products from their hospitality rider might not say so in public for fear of being ridiculed and cancelled. I have no such fear.”
Tritt also noted that he was previously sponsored by the company during the 1990s.
“In full disclosure, I was on a tour sponsored by Budweiser in the 90’s. That was when Anheuser-Busch was American owned,” he added. “A great American company that later sold out to the Europeans and became unrecognizable to the American consumer. Such a shame.”
In addition to Tritt, rock music artist Kid Rock blasted Bud Light over the Mulvaney partnership.
“F-ck Bud Light, and f-ck Anheuser-Bush,” Rock said in a video, which showed the music artist shooting a case of Bud Light with a rifle. The video has been viewed over 51 million times.
In a statement to Fox News, Anheuser-Busch responded to the pushback in support of Mulvaney.
“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,” the statement read. “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.”
The trans activist has also been embraced at the White House, where Mulvaney was given the opportunity to interview President Joe Biden.
