Howard Stern bashed singers Kid Rock and Travis Tritt in response to their outrage over transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney’spartnership with Bud Light, saying he doesn’t understand why either cares so much.
During SirusXM’s “The Howard Stern Show” Monday, Stern expressed shock over the backlash the influencer has received and questioned if there was something he was “missing.”
“I thought there must be a piece of the story that I’m missing,” Stern said. “I’m not bothered by gay people or transsexual people. They don’t impact my life, they don’t hurt my life. I love when people are in love. You wanna be a woman? Be a woman. You wanna be a dude, be a dude. Be whatever you f—ing want.”
“As long as you ain’t hurting anybody, I’m on your team,” he added.
Mulvaney, a popular TikTok influencer with over 10 million followers, shared a video featuring packs of Bud Light with her face printed on the cans — sparking outrage from conservatives who claimed the beer brand was pushing “gender propaganda.”
In response to her brand deal, Kid Rock shared a video of himself online using Bud Light cases for target practice, while Tritt said Anheuser-Busch products will no longer be on his tour hospitality rider.
Stern on Monday said he wanted to speak with both Kid Rock and Tritt about their response, noting he is “coming from a place of, ‘Why do you care so much?’”
“I wish I could call Kid Rock and have him come on the show and just tell me ‘Why are you so upset about this? How is this hurtful?’ I don’t know why he got so upset,” Stern said.
The radio host later noted that he didn’t get why the beer company’s marketing strategies would bother the singer so much for him to take his gun and aim at beer cans.
“Kid Rock, I know him. He’s got a great life. He transitioned from some kid in Michigan to a rock superstar! I’m really dumbfounded by why someone would care so much that they would blow up a can of Bud Light and say, ‘F— Anheuser-Busch.’ I don’t get it,” Stern said.
