Stormzy has teamed up with McDonald’s for the UK and Ireland’s first Famous Order meal.
The deal gives fans the chance to order the rapper’s favourite meal – which consists of nine Chicken McNuggets, fries, two BBQ dips, an Oreo McFlurry or Apple Pie and a Sprite Zero.
The deal, which retails at £7.99, will be available from February 12 and comes with a set of premium limited-edition stickers.
A Stormzy merch range is also being made available via the McDonalds app including a tumbler, a limited edition poster and pin badges while fans in his hometown Croydon, will also be allowed to try the meal at McDonalds branches in the area two days (February 10) before it officially goes on sale.
“I am so gassed for my McDonald’s order to be the first ever ‘Famous Order’ in the UK and Ireland. Never thought I’d have my own order on the official menu. That’s mad,” Stormzy said.
McDonald’s UK & Ireland Chief Marketing Officer, Ben Fox added: “Stormzy is a McDonald’s fan through and through and a true global icon. This makes him the perfect superstar to bring to life the fact that no matter how famous you are, everyone has a favourite, go to, McDonald’s order.”
He continued: “Introducing Stormzy’s signature order is an incredible moment for the brand; two icons colliding, giving everyone the chance to eat just like Big Mike at McDonald’s and, if they are lucky, to nab some exclusive branded merch.”
McDonald’s previously teamed up with Travis Scott, J Balvin and BTS in the US with the latter causing a “significant jump” in sales for the fast food chain. Elsewhere, The Kid LAROI also previously launched his own Famous Order meal in Australia.
Meanwhile, Stormzy has been nominated for two gongs in this year’s BRIT Awards including Hip-hop/Grime/Rap Act. You can check out all the nominations here.
This year’s awards will take place at The O2 in London on Saturday March 1, and broadcast exclusively on ITV1 and ITVX. Comedian and actor Jack Whitehall has been announced as the returning host, making it his fifth time presenting the ceremony after doing so in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.
