Fastfood-gigant McDonalds heeft via Twitter een verkapt dankwoord verstuurd aan Kanye West.
Kanye West schreef een gedicht over de hamburgerketen en zijn tekst kwam in het Boys Don’t Cry-magazine van Frank Ocean. Dat werd bijgevoegd bij de speciale release van het album Blonde. In het gedicht brengt West de verschillende producten van McDonalds tot leven. Hij noemt de Franse frietjes kwaadaardig en is het vlees van de McRib kunstmatig.“We houden van de liefde voor McDonald’s wereldberoende frietjes en appeltaart. Zoals het vlees in onze burgers is onze liefde voor de creativiteit van onze fans 100% echt”, zo liet McDonalds in een reactie weten.
Rapper Joey Bada$$ droeg het gedicht voor tijdens een bezoek aan Hot 97 en noemde het ‘Shakespeariaans’ en een ‘klassieker’.

Them French fries look good tho
I knew the Diet Coke was jealous of the fries
I knew the McNuggets was jealous of the fries
Even the McRib was jealous of the fries
I could see it through his artificial meat eyes
And he only be there some of the time
Everybody was jealous of them French fries
Except for that one special guy
That smooth apple pie
