During a performance at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, country music star Riley Green made a small change to his song lyrics and drew cheers from his audience. The 34-year-old singer dropped Bud Light from the lyrics of his hit song “I Wish Grandpas Never Died” and replaced it with Coors Light.
The move was seen as a reference to Anheuser-Busch’s recent sponsorship deal with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, which sparked controversy and calls for a boycott of the brand. Green’s decision to shout-out to Coors was well received by fans and even boosted the stock price of Molson Coors Beverage Co., Coors’ parent company.

Another country music star, Kid Rock, took a different approach to the Bud Light and Dylan Mulvaney controversy. Rock used several cases of Bud Light for target practice and posted a video of himself destroying a can of beer with a golf club. His actions were seen as a protest against Anheuser-Busch’s perceived “wokeness” and the company’s partnership with Mulvaney.

Bud Light and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch, faced backlash after they partnered with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. The beer maker celebrated Mulvaney’s TikTok series “365 Days of Girlhood” by sending him custom-made cans featuring his face, which Mulvaney later posted on Instagram. The partnership ignited a firestorm of criticism, and many have begun boycotting Bud Light as a result of their pushing of transgender ideology.
