Kid Rock Reportedly Confronted the CEO of Anheuser-Busch at a UFC Match, With Donald Trump by His Side
Kid Rock revealed in a Fox News show with Sean Hannity that he and Trump had a chat with Anheuser-Busch’s CEO Brendan Ball Whitworth at UFC 295 on Saturday night (Nov. 11), where they attended as guests of the former president. Rock said he confronted Whitworth about Bud Light’s decision to send a special beer can to Dylan Mulvaney, a trans influencer. “So [Trump and I] go over, and we actually had a great conversation [with Whitworth],” Rock said, “I told him, ‘You indicated to a lot of people like myself … by sending that can to the trans kid, you kind of indicated to us that you support that lifestyle, and more importantly, men being in women’s sports or in my granddaughter’s locker room. Most of us draw a hard line right there.'” Rock had previously posted a video of himself shooting a case of Bud Light in April, after seeing a promotional video by Mulvaney showing her personalized can of Bud Light. “F— Bud Light and f— Anheuser-Busch,” he said in the video. Rock told Hannity that he did not ask his fans to “boycott or cancel” the brand because of their collaboration with Mulvaney. “I said eff you. What are you doing, injecting yourself into this conversation, these polarizing social issues?” he asked. “You could be doing so much more positive stuff just making us laugh and drink beer.” The “Devil Without a Cause” singer also said that he had no problem with transgender and gay people, as long as they were respectful to him. He then addressed both communities directly. “Be yourself. If you’re cool with me, I’m cool with you — that’s how most people are,” he said. “But as soon as you bring our kids into this, that’s where you’re gonna bring hatred into it. Leave our freaking kids out of it. That’s the bottom line.”
