Dylan Mulvaney as spokesperson for Nike women and Bud Light cause backlash.

Dylan Mulvaney's agents over at CAA are working hard for their money. Dylan has so many paid promotions that it's hard even to keep track. Dylan shared their skincare routine, a paid partnership with Ole Henriksen who even flew Dylan to Denmark. Then Dylan scored a paid partnership with Bud Light, who even sent them a celebratory beer can with Dylan's face on it. Dylan made several posts about the beer, even having a bubble-bath dancing to the "hold" music, just like in the super bowl ad with Miles teller and his wife.

“Anheuser-Busch works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics and passion points,” a spokesperson for the company told Fox News.
“From time to time, we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney. This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”
As soon as the buzz around the beer promotion was petering out, Dylan showed off another paid promotion, with Nike women. Maureen Callahan in The Daily Mail wrote an opinion piece on this, and said:

"Nike’s decision to hire trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney to advertise sports bras for women is an insult to biological women everywhere — and especially biological female athletes, who are fighting for their own hard-won space at elite and professional levels."

Ole Henriksen, but suddenly music stars are banning the beer from their tour buses while conservative radio hosts are telling people to boycott the brand. And with this Nike Women collaboration, women everywhere are swearing off Nike. What gives?
It's about the abrupt shift in brand positioning. Ole Henriksen has always been about great skin care, so having Dylan demo a nighttime skin care routine isn't off-brand.
Nike women however, used to advertise to women by pepping up their self-esteem. Remember these ads? "My shoulders aren't dainty or proportional to my hips. Some say they are like a man's. I say, leave men out of it. They are mine. I made them in a swimming pool then I went to yoga and made my arms."
In contrast, putting Dylan Mulvany in a sports bra as he prances about flipping his ponytail makes me think the "Just Do It" tagline now is an encouragement to men who want to wear women's intimates. Dylan skips around in the video in a similar manner as the exaggerated stereotypes Always "like a girl" Superbowl ad.
In April of last year, Dylan suggested that Tampax had sponsored them which also caused an uproar since Dylan would never have to use the product, before clarifying that Tampax just sent him some samples. When Dylan was on Ulta's makeup podcast it could have gone either way, as Dylan does wear makeup, but then Dylan spoke about wanting to be a mother, and the backlash was inevitable. Women who are arguably the largest market for products like makeup and sports bras, didn't like Dylan's pantomime of womanhood and so view the brands sponsoring him negatively.
There is another mismatch with Bud Light, an easy-drinking all-American beer. The market for Bud Light is more often than not found in conservative states and blue-collar bars, states like Tennessee, where Kid Rock lives. A state that just tried to pass a law restricting drag show performances to adults only. Country star Travis Tritt lives in Georgia, a state working to ban most gender-affirming procedures and hormone replacement therapies for transgender people under 18. In short, the buyers of Anheuser-Busch products are not in the same market as the one Dylan's fans are in. This normally wouldn't be a problem, as the two targets seldom overlap, but in the land of social media and easily triggered controversies, Dylan's promotions are reaching far further than just his followers. In the Age Of Either-Or, everyone has to have a big loud opinion about pretty much everything, including on who gets a paid promotion with a beer brand. While one can argue that these brands are getting more bang for their bucks as this gathers countless media mentions, it's also a risky game to play attempting to expand market share while offending the core market.

I will be deleting all Anheuser-Busch products from my tour hospitality rider. I know many other artists who are doing the same.
