Cardi B's Date-Night McDonald's Meal Offends Some Franchisees
- Deal with rapper violates chain’s marketing code, owners say
- Company has said it’s investing in culturally relevant ads
Some McDonald’s Corp. franchisees are criticizing the fast-food chain for featuring rapper Cardi B in its advertising.
The Grammy-winning performer starred in a Super Bowl commercial earlier this month that featured a meal for couples. These store owners say tying a restaurant chain that caters to families to an entertainer whose songs contain profanities and sexual content will hurt the brand.
