Cardi B ignites controversy with her latest Instagram post promoting merchandise inspired by her and Offset’s McDonald’s meal, despite accusations that the collaboration could tarnish the family-friendly image of the fast-food giant.
The Grammy Award-winning rapper, known for her bold and provocative style, showcased torn-up versions of limited-edition tees and crewnecks featuring the “Cardi B and Offset meal” emblem. In a series of ultra-racy snapshots, Cardi flaunted her curves and rocked daring outfits, including Daisy Dukes, fuzzy cardigans, and “Nice Buns” hoodies, all adorned with provocative imagery.
Despite concerns raised by some McDonald’s franchisees regarding the partnership with Cardi and Offset, the collection quickly gained attention, with every item priced affordably under $70. The merchandise range, available on cardiboffset.com, includes a variety of apparel and accessories, reflecting the couple’s signature style.
The collaboration, announced last month in time for Valentine’s Day, features a personalized meal for Cardi and Offset, comprising McDonald’s menu favorites and special additions. While the partnership has drawn criticism for associating the brand with explicit lyrics and controversial personalities, McDonald’s executives defend the decision, citing the couple’s genuine affinity for the brand and their cultural impact.
Despite the backlash, Cardi and Offset remain unapologetic about their endorsement, emphasizing their longstanding tradition of enjoying McDonald’s together and inviting fans to join in the experience. As the controversy simmers, the rapper duo’s partnership with McDonald’s continues to spark debate, highlighting the intersection of celebrity, culture, and commercial branding in today’s media landscape.
