Singer Kid Rock used several Bud Light cases for target practice on Monday, shooting them with a rifle in response to the news that beer maker Anheuser-Busch made a transgender woman a Bud Light spokesperson.
After destroying several dozen beers with some heavy firepower, the performer turned to the camera and declared "F--- Bud Light and f--- Anheuser-Busch!"
Rock’s explosive statement happened after the beer company sent a pack of Bud Light to transgender woman and activist Dylan Mulvaney with her face on it over the weekend. The biological male has been celebrating "365 Days of Girlhood," marking each day up to a year, since undergoing her transition from male to female.

Fox News Digital reported that Anheuser-Busch "sent packs of Bud Light featuring the influencer’s face as a way to celebrate a full year of ‘girlhood’ that Mulvaney recently reached. Mulvaney said the cans were her ‘most prized possession’ on Instagram with a post featuring ‘#budlightpartner.’"
The announcement that Mulvaney, a transgender woman who recently had surgery done on her face to make her appear more feminine, was named a partner for Bud Light, angered scores of users online.
Among them was Rock, who posted a video to social media of him using a rifle to rip through the cases of bear.
At the outset of the video, Rock, who was standing outside wearing a white "MAGA" hat, turned toward the camera and said, "Grandpa’s feeling a little frisky today. Let me say something to all you and be as clear and concise as possible.

The camera then immediately panned to reveal Rock holding a rifle and taking aim at several Bud Light cases laid out on a table about fifteen yards in front of him.
In an intense burst of gunfire, the musician tore through the beer cans, spraying foam and sparks everywhere. When he stopped firing, the table was drenched in beer and blue can fragments were strewn about.
The camera then panned back to Rock, who turned around, flipped the bird at the camera and said, "F--- Bud Light and f--- Anheuser-Busch! Have a terrific day." The video ended with one last look at the beer can carnage he left.
In less than 12 hours, Rock’s video had already received more than eight million views.

Anheuser-Busch has since responded to the backlash generated by making Mulvaney a Bud Light partner. In a statement to Fox News, the company explained, "Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points."
