A video recently published by TMZ shows Kid Rock drinking Bud Light in Skydeck, Nashville, on August 17.
Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert Ritchie, was in Skydeck to watch a performance by Colt Ford, according to TMZ. The video obtained by the news site shows the singer standing by the rail on the second level of the venue, holding a can of Bud Light and sipping from it.
The video emerges just months after Rock made a public display of boycotting the brand in a violent video where he shot up cases of Bud Light with a gun to register his protest at the brand partnering with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
"That's right, the same guy who exclaimed, 'F**k Bud Light and f**k Anheuser-Busch' a few months ago was at Skydeck in Nashville Thursday night [where] … he clutched the blue can, taking sips while chatting and laughing," reported TMZ on August 18.
The images, which appeared to have been taken without his knowledge, have resulted in people mocking the star across social media, accusing him of being a hypocrite for trashing the brand and then consuming it just a short while later.
Former West Virginia state senator Richard Ojeda II wrote, "Apparently Kid Rock doesn't have any issues with Bud Light when he doesn't think the cameras are on him."
