Budweiser and Bud Light face backlash over marketing decisions.
TL;DR
Country music star Riley Green drew cheers from his Nashville audience when he dropped Bud Light from the lyrics of his hit song "I Wish Grandpas Never Died" and replaced it with Coors Light. Green's lyrics change came amid controversy over Anheuser-Busch's sponsorship deal with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Coors' parent company's stock price has soared by nearly 9% since the announcement of the partnership. Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth issued an apology over the controversy, saying the company never intended to divide people.
