Country music star Travis Tritt has become the latest celebrity to blast Anheuser-Busch for working with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney on a Bud Light promotion.
His decision to remove all of the products from his tour bus comes after fellow singer Kid Rock angrily shot at several cases of Bud Light.
Mulvaney, 26, announced the partnership in a series of videos posted to social media at the weekend to coincide with the NCAA March Madness tournament.
She was even given a beer can with her face printed on it to celebrate her 365 days of being a woman – something which angered the singer.
But now Tritt, 60, has joined the outrage and said that he would be removing all Anheuser-Busch products from his tour hospitality rider.
He added that there were 'many other artists' who are doing the same but were not coming forward out of fear of being 'ridiculed and canceled'.
Tritt has a combined following of 700.3k followers, compared to Mulvaneys 1.7million on Instagram alone.
He admitted that he had been on tour with Budweiser - one of the many brands under the Anheuser-Busch umbrella - in the 90s.
The multi-award-winning artist added: '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.'
Tritt appears to be referring to Belgian company InBev and American Anheuser-Busch agreeing to combine in 2008, with Budweiser as their flagship band.
He then took aim at Ru Paul's Drag Race and Jack Daniels, posting a picture on his social media saying: 'All the Jack Daniels drinkers should take note.'

It is NOT a she.
Good!
Use that swill to put out
This Garbage.
I doubt he is a big enough drinker to make much of a difference in their bottom line, so this is mostly symbolic/PR-type stuff.
Now, if he were to refuse to play any place that sells AB beverages, that would speak much louder. And if he would lead a movement to have AB beers not stocked in liquor stores and/or removed from bar taps, that would hit surely AB where they live.

I love a Guinness occasionally and they had an ad that supported gay relationships nearly 30 years ago.
thx travis.....a genuine country singer and star.
good for him
stupid should hurt
Most days I have a Miller Lite in the evening, preceeded by a Busch NA (Non-alcohol) in the afternoon. I’ll be switching to a non-AB non-alcohol beer.
It does not matter if you, I or Tritt is a large personal consumer. What matters is millions switching brands. Tritt has a bigger voice, so his statements carry extra weight.
Thank YOU Travis Tritt.
Liberal goons will be gunning for you - just like they went after Elon... and after all of us. But, it takes courage when you have a lot to lose. Hang in there.
Again, thanks Travis Tritt - you’re in our prayers.
Good for him!
Something odd is afoot here.
In the late 60s early 70s Budweiser hat a promotional cartoon super hero, Bud Man.
Terribly binary when you think about it. Not at all “woke”.
These days it seems they are going for some kind of indulgence or absolution.
Introducing Bud Tran!
Will Anheiser-Busch double down on trannies after the backlash?
Well Spuds Mackenzie was a bitch.
Bless you Travis. We will see you in concert one of these days!
Only one I’ve had recently is Goose Island, shame.
Drink local. Plenty of nice local breweries are popping up all over the land.
