Amid the ongoing congressional talks that limit the government's care towards the LGBTQ community, Kid Rock and Travis Tritt have made some bold and controversial moves lately that seemingly targeted internet personality Dylan Mulvaney.
Mulvaney, however, gets an ally out of renowned radio personality Howard Stern, as he voiced out his frustration and bewilderment on Tritt and Rock over their violent expressions on social media.
Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light Drama Explained
Earlier this month, Transgender personality Dylan Mulvaney posted a video of her collaboration with Bud Light.
Bud Light partnered with Mulvaney as she celebrated a year since she transitioned to become a woman with a special Bud Light commemorative can with her face on it.
While Mulvaney and a huge chunk of her followers celebrated with her on the triumphant feat, some homophobic and transphobic commenters have flocked to Mulvaney's Instagram page and started spewing some hate.
Similarly, Kid Rock, a known controversial figure, expressed his frustration on social media by posting a rather violent video.

In a post that has now amassed more than 1.6 million likes on Instagram, Kid Rock wore a MAGA (Make America Great Again) cap as he shot down three cases of Bud Light in a lake. "Grandpa's feeling a bit frisky today," he said as he tried to make a "clear and concise" statement.
He then proceeded to use his semiautomatic rifle and gunned down what seemed to be three cases of Bud Light on the lake. "F-k Bud Light, and f-k Anheuser-Busch," he said afterward.
Kid Rock wasn't the only person expressing his frustrations; Travis Tritt also posted a flurry of tweets expressing his disappointment with the brand. Tritt promised to remove all the products from his tour hospitality rider in protest of Mulvaney's collaboration with the brand.

He also expressed support for transgender and gay people in his statements.
Per Stern, he wished he could call Rock and ask him why he was upset with Mulvaney when he was "flamboyant in his own way," too.
"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," he added.
As for Tritt, Stern is also confused about why the artist cared so much."
Mulvaney has not yet commented on the controversy.
