Post Malone Parties With A Genie And A T-Rex In An Over-The-Top Super Bowl Ad For Bud Light

February 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There is perhaps no artist better suited for a Bud Light endorsement than Post Malone, who has been sponsored on a tour by the beer brand, appeared on special edition cans, and hosted a New Year’s Eve livestream produced by it (with Jack Harlow in tow, naturally).

So, a Post Malone-starring Bud Light Super Bowl commercial is not only a no-brainer, it might just be the highest form of art available to modern audiences (aside from this, of course).

The plot — such as it is — revolves around a “Bud Light Genie” who pops out of an ice cold bottle and immediately begins granting all sorts of over-the-top wishes, from invisibility and “Peyton Manning as a best friend” to a house party with Posty himself. And a T-rex. That was Posty’s wish.

Interestingly enough, Post Malone will also be included in the sporting festivities on Super Bowl Sunday. He’s billed to sing “America The Beautiful” — which I sort of can’t wait to hear. Let Post do the National Anthem next year, cowards. He was also recently tapped by the one and only Taylor Swift to appear on her surprise album, The Tortured Poets Department, along with Florence + The Machine (am I going to actually listen to a Taylor Swift album this year??? YIKES).

Dana White Defends UFC’s Partnership With Bud Light

October 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dana White has defended his decision to partner the UFC with Bud Light. The brand returns as the promotion’s official beer after the two sides originally parted ways in 2019. “Everybody on every side of this deal that were involved — other beer companies and everything else — absolutely, positively knows that this was not about money for me. We were going to end up with money no matter who we ended up with,” White said. Furthermore, he said it was “f-cking stupid” for people to say it was just about the money. He argued that all sponsorships are about money.

Bud Light has been the target of right-wing outrage for most of the year. It follows the brand’s decision to partner transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. That led to many right-wing individuals saying they were going to boycott the beer. This in turn led to wild inflated claims as to how much money Amherser-Busch reportedly lost over the deal. At most, Bud Light saw a year-on-year decrease of around 10% during the second quarter of 2023. However, the brand remains one of America’s top beer products.

Kid Rock Seen Enjoying Bud Light

However, the UFC is not the only right-leaning property to be seen enjoying the beer. Musician Kid Rock was spotted enjoying a Bud Light while attending a concert in August. This was in spite of Rock being one of the loudest voices calling for a boycott. Numerous photos showed the ex-husband of Pamela Anderson holding onto the familiar tall blue can while wearing one of his signature hats at a Colt Ford show in Nashville.

Many people jokingly referred to Rock as a “hypocrite”. However, there was a very different reaction occurring amongst his right-wing compatriots. Those who politically aligned with Rock scrambled to his defense, stating that the pictures were fake and an intentional attack on Rock. “Actually he was drinking Coors Light can. This is a lie someone altered it,” one right-wing account claimed. Meanwhile, other right-wingers tried to claim that they “always suspected” that Rock was a secret liberal trying to be MAGA for the clout.

Kid Rock Drinks Bud Light, Fans Claim It’s A Conspiracy

August 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kid Rock rocketed himself back into the national spotlight this year as he became the face of the boycott against Bud Light. Conservatives nationwide declared that they would no longer drink the Anheuser-Busch product after the company ran an ad campaign featuring transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The boycott, led by figures such as Rock, did make a noticeable impact on Anheuser-Busch sales, with the company reporting a 10% slump in second-quarter revenue. Rock’s reaction was particularly memorable, with the Michigan native filming himself shooting up a row of Bud Light cans.

Well, how things change. Multiple reports from August 17 place Kid Rock at a concert in Nashville drinking a can of Bud Light. Numerous photos show the ex-husband of Pamela Anderson holding onto the familiar tall blue can while wearing one of his signature hats. The concert in question was the Colt Ford show at the Skydeck.

While many people jokingly referred to Rock as a “hypocrite”, there was a very different reaction occurring amongst his right-wing compatriots. Those who politically align with Rock scrambled to his defence, stating that the pictures were fake and an intentional attack on Rock. “Actually he was drinking Coors Light can. This is a lie someone altered it,” one right-wing account claimed. Firstly, it’s very funny if he was drinking Coors given that the brand is a major sponsor of several LGBT initiatives. Meanwhile, other right-wingers are trying to claim that they “always suspected” that Rock was a secret liberal trying to be MAGA for the clout.

In short, the right wing is falling over themselves to try and explain the simple fact that Kid Rock, like many other right-wing figures, is a grifter. He told you what you wanted to hear so that you’d buy whatever he was selling to you. There is no conspiracy. No one is going out of their way to get Kid Rock canceled by his own team. He is, simply, a hypocrite who enjoys mediocre beer and country music concerts.
