Kid Rock Gives Up the Grift, Says His Bullsh*t Bud Light Boycott is Over
We all knew this day would come, but it seems rich kid turned alt-right “working class” grifter Robert James Ritchie (aka Kid Rock) is done pretending. No, he still parades himself as some “redneck” even though he grew up in a 5,660-square foot house 40 miles north of Detroit, that hasn’t changed. But rather, he’s done trying to cash in on the wave of anti-trans hate by pretending to boycott Bud Light.
During a recent interview with fellow charlatan Tucker Carlson, the 52-year-old shit stain said he was easing up on Anheuser-Busch and the watered down piss in a blue can because the company’s had enough. Oh and because he’s teaming up with Bud Light to promote the beer’s Easy Carry Contest.
“At the end of the day, when you step back and look at it, like, yeah, they deserved a black eye and they got one. They made a mistake. So, do I want to hold their head under water and drown them because they made a mistake? No, I think they got the message.
“Hopefully other companies get it too, but at the end of the day, I don’t think the punishment that they’ve been getting at this point fits the crime. I would like to see us back on board and become bigger because that’s the America that I want to live in.
“There’s nothing wrong with giving a spanking. You don’t spank them for the rest of their life.”
As I’m sure you remember, Kid Rock made headlines back in April when he joined the chuds that got up in arms over a single commemorative Bud Light can that Anheuser-Busch sent to trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Seeing an opportunity to make money off of the anti-trans mob and gain fans from the worst parts of America’s political spectrum, Kid Rock added to the boycott by poorly firing a submachine gun at a stack of Bud Light that he totally didn’t pay for.
But Kid Rock swears that he never called on anyone to follow him in boycotting Bud Light. During an interview last month on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, he said he was just speaking his mind about the brand instead.
Even Kid Rock couldn’t stick to his anti-Bud Light ways, having been photographed sucking down watered-down piss water from the brand’s iconic blue can at a Cold Ford show in Nashville this past August. Oh and don’t forget that his bar never stopped serving Bud Light.
And in the end, let’s be clear — Anheuser-Busch and its parent company AB InBev are going to be okay in the long run despite the boycott. Yes, there was an initial drop in Bud Light sales from May to August of this year, but by October the total decline in sales came in at about 10.5%, which is a large amount but not backbreaking. In fact, global distribution didn’t slow down at all and the corporation as a whole continued to see increases in revenue, even if Bud Light struggled some.
Dude’s not serious. He’s a hypocrite and a grifter. At least now he’s freeing himself up to find another way to make money off of suckers.
