Brooks’ comments seem to imply that Bud Light is currently under heavy scrutiny. Back in April, Bud Light collaborated with transgender TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney. The company gave the influencer a special beer can with his face on it to commemorate “365 days of Girls’ Generation.” Since then, Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has lost billions of dollars in stake due to boycotts over its influencer partnerships.
