Carson King helped raise over $1 million for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital after his joke asking for beer money went viral.

Anheuser-Busch jumped in with the offer to match the Iowa State fan’s donation, even honoring him with his face on cans of Busch Light.

But after a reporter for the Des Moines Register uncovered offensive social media posts made by King eight years ago, the brewer said they are now cutting ties, noting the messages “do not align with our values as a brand or as a company.” They will still keep their donation pledge.

King held a press conference on Tuesday, saying he was quoting the TV show Tosh.0 as a high school sophomore.
