Kid Rock was spotted sipping on Bud Light after making a spiteful statement and shooting cases of the beer in a transphobic rant. The Rock and Roll star was seen on a balcony holding the can before taking a sip at a Colt Ford concert in Nashville, Tennessee.

Back in April, Kid Rock, who was formerly married to Pamela Anderson, joined enraged 'anti-woke- activists smashing crates of the beer across the country in a nationwide boycott of the brand after transgender social media star Dylan Mulvaney, who has more than 10.8million followers online, opened a regular can of Bud Light in partnership with the brand.

In the advertisement, Dylan spoke about March Madness and promoted a Bud Light contest, adding that the brand had also sent her a special can with her face on it to celebrate the year anniversary of documenting her gender transition. The response from right wing figures was swift and brutal with the beer brand and the parent company Anheuser-Busch being slammed for supposedly turning to “woke” advertising.

Along with Kid Rock's video machine gunning beer, right wing politicians were keen to comment. In his response, Kid Rock sported a MAGA cap as he shot round after round into some beer crates. Turning to the camera afterwards, the country musician said: "F--- Bud Light. And f--- Anheuser-Busch. Have a terrific day."

Fans quickly took to Twitter after seeing Kid Rock's beverage of choice in the new photos obtained by TMZ, with one typing: "Owh. That deescalated rather quickly. Gee that's a hard U-turn." While a second added: "Well of course, because Kid Rock did it all for show and not because he actually cared about the boycotts. Republicans ate it all up and probably helped by buying merch or listening to his music."

A third put: "Interesting to see Kid Rock, who once led a boycott against Bud Light, enjoying the beverage at a Nashville concert. People's opinions can change over time, I guess!" and a fourth chimed in: "It's time to move on. He's fixed his mistake and won't repeat it. Mission accomplished."

Others claimed that the concert was from before Kid Rock made his statement, while some believed the photo was a red bull can that had been photoshopped.
