McDonald’s Saweetie Meal is a twist on an American Classic

The Bay Area rapper is the latest Billboard chart-topper to collaborate with McDonald’s Famous Orders program, following in the footsteps of J Balvin, Travis Scott, and BTS. Like the aforementioned artists, the “Icy Grl” rapper will also be releasing merch that accompanies the meal in the coming weeks. “What I really love about the merch is that a lot of it is oversized. Men, women, boys and girls are going to be able to pick whatever they like, their favorite colors. It’s all colorful, and it’s ‘icy’ just like me,” says the rapper.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Saweetie, a true brand fan who puts her own spin on everything she touches across music, fashion, beauty and culture,” said McDonald’s chief marketing and digital customer experience officer, Morgan Flatley, in a press release. “And now, she’s brought that spark and creativity to her signature McDonald’s order by celebrating her love for our food and passion for mixing things up.”

Our Icy Grl feels the same: “For me it was a no brainer. I remember I screamed when the opportunity came to me. I was just really excited because I grew up eating McDonald’s and I love it, so I’m just really grateful for the opportunity,” she muses.

In 2019, the hip-hop star scored her first Billboard No. 1 single with the provocative, up-tempo “My Type,” and she’s since become one of hip-hop’s most electric household names. She followed up with another No. 1 single, the laidback melodic number “Back to the Streets” (2020), before cementing her place in the limelight with the release of her anthemic hit “Best Friends.” Both tracks will make an appearance on her hotly-anticipated debut album Pretty Bitch Music via Warner Records.

The Saweetie Meal hits McDonald’s Restaurants today, August 9, across the U.S., so grab your “best friend” and make your order extra saucy.
