FOR THE NEXT MCDONALD’S CELEBRITY MEAL, SAWEETIE WILL FOLLOW TRAVIS SCOTT

Saweetie, who is known for her unusual culinary combinations like pouring ranch on her spaghetti, is the next celebrity to get her own McDonald’s meal. Starting August 9, the Saweetie Meal will be available at Golden Arches restaurants across the United States.

The Saweetie Meal includes a Big Mac, four-piece Chicken McNuggets, medium fries, and medium Sprite, as well as Tangy BBQ and ‘Saweetie ‘N Sour’ sauces for dipping. Fans are urged to “remix” their meals by adding fries to Big Mac burgers.

“McDonald’s and I run deep – from growing up back in Hayward, California, all through my college days – so I had to bring my icy gang in on my all-time favorites,” she said about the partnership in a statement. “Depending on the mood I’m in, there are so many ways to enjoy my order. I like to keep things fresh – I know that’s right.”

Saweetie’s meal is the latest in a long series of celebrity dinners, including successful collaborations with BTS, J Balvin, and Travis Scott, which resulted in supply shortages at several places. According to reports, the Houston native made $5 million from McDonald’s and another $15 million from Mickey Dee’s merchandise sales.

On the music front, fans of the “My Type” rapper are still waiting for the release of her first album, Pretty Bitch Music. Saweetie revealed her intention to postpone the project until later in 2021 in a June interview with Big Tigger.

Pretty Bitch Music was supposed to come out this month, but I was really living with it,” she explained. “And one of my goals is for people to really feel something with every song, so I had to go back and reconstruct some songs. Just know that I’m a perfectionist and it’s on the way.”

‘THIS WILL GO VIRAL!’ SOULJA BOY SAYS HE HAS A ‘BILLION DOLLAR’ IDEA FOR MCDONALD’S.

After earning over $7 million in 2010, Soulja Boy was named No. 7 on Forbes’ list of Hip Hop Cash Kings. Over a decade later, the chart-topper of “Crank Dat” is still seeking for new ways to earn money, and his latest target is Mickey D’s.

Soulja Boy sent a pair of tweets to McDonald’s on Tuesday (July 6), alerting the fast-food giant that he wants to run a proposal past them.

“I got a billion dollar idea,” he wrote. “@McDonalds trust me.”

McDonald’s wrote back, “I’m listening” and Soulja then explained, “The SouljaBurger but the secret is in the ingredients I’ll dm them to you trust me this will go VIRAL!”

McDonald’s has previously collaborated with rappers, most notably for Travis Scott’s trademark value meal. Last fall, the dish was made available nationally, and the restaurant struggled to keep them in stock. The fast-food company revealed in an internal document obtained by USA Today that the Travis Scott collaboration’s success had resulted in shortages of the components used in the $6 meal.

“We’ve created a program that’s so compelling to our customers that it’s stretching our world-class supply chain; and if demand continues at these levels, more restaurants will break supply,” the company told its employees and franchises owners at the time. “In fact, it’s been so lit, some of our restaurants have temporarily sold out of some of the ingredients in the meal. We’re working closely with our suppliers, distributors and franchisees to resupply impacted restaurants as quickly as possible.”

Soulja Boy is rumored to be planning something similar. For the time being, at least one thing is certain: McDonald’s is listening
