Megan Thee Stallion and Popeyes are linking up for a new partnership.
On Thursday, the Houston rapper announced that she was prepping to launch a Megan Thee Hottie Sauce. She also shared that she will be a franchise owner and that she’s set to launch a few locations in the future.
According to Popeyes, the sauce is made with honey, cider vinegar and Aleppo pepper. It also “flaunts a sweet, yet bold flavor with a hint of spice, inspired by Megan's sassy personality.”
Bruno Cardinali, Popeyes’ chief marketing officer shared the following on the upcoming collaboration:
“We have a lot in common with Megan Thee Stallion -- from our southern roots, to our shared love for flavor with a lot of spice, she embodies the proud, spirited, joyful and big-hearted personality we embrace with our food and heritage.”
Popeyes will also be launching a merchandise line that’ll feature bikinis, Popeyes chicken tender plush dog toys, shirts, hats, and more.
Alongside the announcement, a commercial was unveiled featuring Megan. The ad takes on a Western theme and is equipped with the Hottie Sauce displayed on Popeyes cult favorite chicken sandwich (the same sandwich that had the nation in a chokehold).
We can’t help but think of the consistent wins Megan Thee Stallion has been experiencing over the past year. She’s raked in top spots on Billboard charts, dropped her debut album, received a few Grammy Awards and has performed at countless award ceremonies. Now she joins her peers Saweetie and Travis Scott who have previously released successful collaborations with fast-food restaurant McDonald’s.
Megan Thee Stallion’s Hottie Sauce will launch on October 19 at participating restaurants.
