For all you lovebirds out there this Valentine’s Day, you’re in for a special treat thanks to Cardi B and her boo Offset.
In honor of the day of love, the rap couple is serving up a celebrity couple meal on McDonald’s menus – the first time ever the mega-restaurant chain has done so.
The meals are “perfect for sharing with your plus one, your situationship, your best friend, or anyone in between,” the couple shared in a new commercial that dropped during the Super Bowl.
“We’re dropping something big for fans — a new collab inspired by the universal idea that knowing your person’s McDonald’s order is a true sign of love,” McDonald’s wrote in a statement to TODAY. “At the center is an iconic couple in music and two of our biggest superfans – Cardi B and Offset.”
Starting today, Golden Arches lovers can head over to select restaurants nationwide and order a dish of the Cardi B & Offset Meal, which consists of Cardi B’s favorite, a cheeseburger paired with BBQ sauce and a large Coca-Cola and Offset’s go-to order, a Quarter Pounder with cheese and a large Hi-C Orange Lavaburst. Each order comes with an apple pie and a large fries for couples to share.
“Let me tell you, McDonald’s is date night done right,” Offset said in the statement. “It doesn’t have to be all boujee. Get your date, grab some good food, and have fun, that’s it.”
“Whether it’s going for a date night or grabbing a bite after late-night studio sessions… I’m always asking Offset to take me to McDonald’s,” Cardi B added in the statement. “And now, Offset and I have a meal named after us! I want all my fans to try it — especially with that BBQ sauce.”
This is not the first time McDonald’s has partnered with celebrities to help sell meals. In 2021, the restaurant collaborated with K-pop megastars BTS to create the BTS Meal, which included “medium fries, a medium drink, as well as its Sweet Chili and Cajun dipping sauces inspired by recipes from McDonald’s South Korea,” according to TODAY. And in 2020, the franchise teamed up with rapper Travis Scott, to dish up a meal consisting of a fresh beef Quarter Pounder with Cheese, bacon, lettuce, medium fries with BBQ sauce to dip and a Sprite to wash it all down. The collaboration led to ingredient shortages and lots of money in the bank for all parties involved.
