Joe Rogan’s latest guest on the JRE (Joe Rogan Experience) has found himself on the receiving end of fan backlash! In the JRE episode no. 2106, musician Kid Rock appeared on Rogan’s top-rated podcast. The music artist grabbed the headlines last year because of his issues with ‘Bud Light’ and their association with TikTok influencer, Dylan Mulvaney.

And to celebrate his appearance on the JRE, Rogan shared a picture of himself with Kid Rock. He captioned the post, “I had a great time drinking @budlight with @kidrock!”. This move didn’t sit well with the online community.

Rock emerged as part of the uproar in 2023 when Bud Light partnered with Dylan Mulvaney, a trans influencer who posted videos of herself online with custom cans of beer that were specially designed by the company for her, to mark their partnership. In response to Mulvaney’s post, Kid Rock shared a video of himself dramatically firing on a large case of Bud Light beer with a rifle while highlighting his displeasure with the brand. The move by Bud Light also drew calls for a boycott for the company. The intensity of the fervor increased with Rock’s video leading the calls of criticism against the brand.
