Dylan Mulvaney was "mentally ill" after discussing the ongoing Bud Light backlash on his podcast.Rapper and actor Ice Cube was a guest on The Joe Rogan Experience and the pair discussed the current boycott against the beer brand.
Mulvaney's collaboration with Bud Light in early April sparked a huge reaction resulting in calls for a boycott that is still ongoing three months later.Mulvaney recently directly addressed the situation, speaking out on why she worked with Bud Light, and the impact the backlash has had on her.Rogan has apparently remained unsympathetic, mocking Bud Light and the parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev for getting themselves in the situation, and calling out Mulvaney who he said was "mentally ill" and an "attention w****."In the most recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, rapper and actor Ice Cube was the guest.
During their almost two-and-a-half-hour conversation, the contemporaneous topic of Bud Light and Mulvaney came up."The only time [capital] respects opinions is when people boycott s*** and it works like this Bud Light thing, and now people are like 'don't do that again,'" Rogan said on episode #2004 of the JRE podcast, which first aired on Thursday, June 29."Who controls Bud Light?
That's the question," Ice Cube replied. "Why would they make a dumb decision like that? Are they trying to ruin Bud Light? Are they trying to take down some of our most iconic American brands?"Rogan said it was down to the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, which measure a company's performance in these areas.
