Anheuser-Busch’s Bud Light attracted controversy with their partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. It even made Kid Rock shoot cases of Bud Light with a gun in action labeled ‘machine gun’ gate by the media. Due to the controversy, the beer company made a strategic partnership with the UFC and also with Shane Gillis, a comedian and friend of Joe Rogan.

The contempt against Bud Light has receded recently. Dana White has always praised the company for their patriotism. Moreover, Donald Trump has also endorsed the beer company. Kid Rock also had a change of heart as he drank the beer during his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience. Moreover, he also spoke about the company. This is what he said.

My buddies now at Anheuser-Busch, for my birthday, they sent me a f*cking hundred cases of Bud Light. It's f*cking hilarious. A truck rolled up to the f*cking house.

Even though Bud Light made strategic partnerships, it has not yet garnered financial benefits. Modelo, the previous beer partner of the UFC, still held the lion’s share of the beer market. Nonetheless, the animosity towards the product has receded recently.
