Country singers Zach Bryan, Sheryl Crow clap back in Bud Light's Dylan Mulvaney controversy
[NYPOST] Two of country music’s biggest stars ratcheted up the brew-haha over Bud Light’s controversial ad campaign featuring transgender...mutton, dressed up as pork... social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Grammy-nominated crooner Zach Bryan hit out at comments that are "insulting" to transgender people after Travis Tritt announced he was boycotting the Anheuser-Busch product to protest the Mulvaney-Bud Light partnership. "I mean no disrespect towards anyone specifically, I don’t even mind @travistritt," Bryan tweeted on Saturday. "I just think insulting transgender people is completely wrong because we live in a country where we can all just be who we want to be It’s a great day to be alive I thought." Sheryl Crow, the singer-songwriter, responded to Bryan with a "Thank you" and a heart emoji. In another tweet, Bryan revealed that he has "family transitioning" and that he has "blood to defend here." Bryan, whose hits include "Heading South," also responded to backlash he received from some who said they were no longer his fans due to his comments. Tritt had tweeted last week: "I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same." "Other artists who are deleting Anheuser-Busch products from their hospitality rider might not say so in public for fear of being ridiculed and cancelled. I have no such fear," he added in a second tweet. Tritt then indirectly referenced the fact that Anheuser-Busch is a subsidiary of Belgian multinational beverage giant AB InBev. "In full disclosure, I was on a tour sponsored by Budweiser in the 90’s," Tritt tweeted. "That was when Anheuser-Busch was American owned. A great American company that later sold out to the Europeans and became unrecognizable to the American consumer. Such a shame." Posted by: Fred 2023-04-14 |
