Ted Nugent Controversial Comments
The recent news comes after Nugent was met with backlash after making controversial comments against the transgender community.
The singer reacted to Bud Light's recent ad campaign featuring trans influencer Dylan Mulvany. The online personality took to her social media accounts to share the commemorative can she received from the brand which features her face on the side.
The musician was not happy about the company's recent move, opting him to voice his opinion on social media.
He noted that the advertisement was "disrespectful" to the brand's "core consumer demographic." He also told fans that his family and crew will no longer purchase Anheuser-Busch products. (via Billboard)
"This is the epitome of cultural deprivation in an ongoing tsunami of cultural deprivation," he added.
The company stood by their campaign as they wanted to "authentically connect with audiences across various demographics." A representative also clarified that Mulvany's commemorative can was not available for purchase as it was only a gift to "Celebrate a milestone."
