Christmas is the season for forgiveness, and so it seems for Kid Rock and Bud Light, as the musician said his boycott of the beer is over. Yet parent company AB InBev has already recouped nearly all its losses from its botched Dylan Mulvaney partnership. 

Last week, Kid Rock spoke with Tucker Carlson, saying that while Anheuser-Busch InBev deserved the “black eye” it got for its marketing campaign with transgender influencer Mulvaney, he felt there was no need to keep avoiding the brand. While noting that he hoped other companies took note of consumers’ displeasure, he explained that after many months of lower sales, “I don’t think the punishment that they’ve been getting at this point fits the crime.”
