Earlier this year, former rock star Kid Rock went viral for his anti-Bud Light video where he shot several cases of Bud Light with an AR-style rifle in response to the tailgate beer brand’s partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. But it looks like Kid Rock couldn’t keep up the hate.
This weekend, Kid Rock was seen and photographed sipping on a can of Bud Light while attending a Colt Ford concert. This was obviously a pretty surprising scene given the video he posted back in April.
“The former rocker seemed pretty relaxed as he clutched the blue can, taking sips while chatting and laughing with some friends. Unclear if there were other beer options available, but Kid Rock’s choice seems pretty shocking considering how hard he went in on the brand earlier this year,” TMZ wrote over the weekend.
It’s a pretty hypocritical move from Kid Rock after he posted the video pandering to his right-wing supporter base. As a result, the former rocker got absolutely blasted on social media.
LOL. Last night Kid Rock was pictured drinking a Bud Light at a concert after he led an effort to cancel the company.
It wasn’t long ago he shot up a case of Bud Light with an AR-15. https://t.co/HpQS6DHyri pic.twitter.com/fPW2rG64M7

Conservatives stand for absolutely nothing. Other than perhaps their commitment to performative outrage. https://t.co/4kLAdASynO

I am shocked to learn that Kid Rock is actually not super principled https://t.co/DdiACTbJQk

It took less than four months for Kid Rock to abandon his position, perhaps making it clear that this was all fake outrage, to begin with.
