Cardi B and Offset have shared a line of merch inspired by their recent Super Bowl commercial for McDonald’s. The line features t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, and beanies. Keeping with the Valentine’s Day theme of the advertisement, the collection comes in mainly reds and pinks, including shirts that read “nice buns,” as well as “the Cardi B & Offset meal,” and more. The pieces are priced between $38 and $68. “Forever [heart emjoi] Day Drip #ValentinesDay,” Offset captioned a post sharing the collection on Twitter.
In addition to the commercial and the clothing line, Cardi B & Offset also got their own meal at McDonald’s. The option comes with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.
After sharing the merch, Cardi confirmed that she and Offset have more content coming soon: “Got sooo much love from my hubby last night and on top of that we’re getting sooo much love and support on our McDonald’s meal, all of this really got my heart full. More merch and content coming out soon …Love yall.” She also wrote of their Valentine’s Day plans, “My baby did soo good yesterday……….Gave him that Henny neck 3000!”
“I think we’ve been to McDonald’s 200 million times,” Cardi told Billboard of why she and Offset were interested in the partnership with McDonald’s. She added that the couple has “different taste palates” when it comes to their McDonald’s order. “That’s the thing about McDonald’s is that we both eat it. I might suggest a different restaurant and if we get to the restaurant and the menu’s a little weird and Offset doesn’t like the food, he just looks at me.”
Cardi B and Offset weren’t the only faces in hip-hop to pop up during the big game. Jack Harlow also was featured in an advertisement for Doritos, along with Missy Elliot. Diddy also worked with UberEats for a commercial in which he makes a hit song for the company. Check out Cardi B and Offset’s appearance in the McDonald’s Super Bowl commercial below.
The Cardi B and Offset McDonald’s meal is upon us and you know what that means: exclusive, co-branded merch. This time around, it looks like the Golden Arches has decided to keep things simple with easy-to-manufacture apparel like T-shirts, hoodies, hats, and shorts. It appears that lessons were learned from the supply chain debacle with J Balvin’s more out-there options, but you do kind of wish Cardi and Set got the chance to go as crazy as Travis Scott did — if only to see what they’d come up with.
As it is, the options continue the lovey-dovey vibe of the overall concept; the T-shirts say goofy things like “nice buns,” the hoodies bear profiles of Cardi and Set saluting each other with sandwiches and McD’s “I’m lovin’ it” catchphrase, and the shorts are suitably cheek-baring for lounging around the house, as the couple can often be seen doing on social media. All in all, a 7/10 for the collection. It’s solid but you really do miss oddball add-ons like throw rugs, ashtrays, and chicken McNugget body pillows (bring them back, Mickey Ds!)
By all reports, the Cardi B And Offset Meal is selling well, and Cardi’s spent the past few days reposting fans’ pics of the meal — although she did take a break to show off some of her own photos from the couple’s Valentine’s vacation.

Cardi B and Offset’s Super Bowl commercial for McDonald’s was a wholesome and loving affair. Moreover, their signature McDonald’s meal (for two, obviously) will launch on Valentine’s Day. In the commercial, though, they are just one of many couples who talk about sharing and enjoying their food together. Of course, some of them have different takes on sharing fries than others. Still, even in the most stacked advertising night of the year, it’s hard to deny they stood out. Overall, it made for a tender and filling ad with a lot of heart.

During most of the commercial, the couples talk about what their partner wants. For example, Cardi B said that Offset always gets a Quarter Pounder and a Hi-C. “He a simple man,” she said as they sat together at a Mickey D’s table. Moreover, the other couples debated about getting “[partner] points” for letting them eat from their fries. “If it’s mine, it’s hers,” the Migo said. Surely, they’ll enjoy many more McDonald’s meals together, especially now that they have their own. if you’re curious, it comes with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, and barbecue sauce. Also, you’ll enjoy a large order of fries, an apple pie, the aforementioned large Hi-C, and a large Coke.
Furthermore, Cardi took to Twitter to excitedly gush about the ad. “Y’all saw our commercial? PARAPAPAPA I’m F*ckin him! …The CARDI & Offset meal is coming February 14 at your closest McDonald’s!!!” The fast food giant also had to hop on and give a little promo of their own. “Introducing the Cardi B & Offset meal, coming February 14,” they captioned a picture of them sitting with the bag in front of them. Oh, the McDonald’s bag, not the bag they got for participating in the commercial.
Meanwhile, Cardi B and Offset recently performed during one of the many Super Bowl parties this weekend. While they’ve been dealing with some unfortunate beef as of late, nothing does the trick quite like a shared meal to get their spirits up. Let us know what you think of their ad and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on the Super Bowl.
So this feels really full circle considering your first date was at the Super Bowl in 2017. Tell me about the moment you got the call to be part of this Super Bowl ad—the thoughts that came to mind and what this means to you.
Cardi B: I mean it almost makes me feel like, ‘damn did McDonald’s plan this?’ They did their research on us or something because it’s like, okay, if it was just to do a Valentine’s Day meal thing, okay, we get it. But for them to actually air a commercial during the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl, to us it really means something. Can we say that it’s a tradition? I guess the Super Bowl is a tradition for us now. I’m not really into football, but because the Super Bowl was our first date, every single time that the Super Bowl comes around I get a little bit emotional… and [now] we have this major amazing commercial with McDonald’s, it’s like damn they probably know how we feel and [it’s] just great, everything’s great.
Offset: I love football. That’s my favorite sport. So I was super excited to work with McDonald’s and also I did a little thing with McDonald’s in New York. We Cactus Plant Flea market and I felt like I built a great relationship with them when I met them the first time. And for them to call back and then be able to work with them to do a big commercial… this is a great opportunity, because I always loved McDonald’s growing up too.
Cardi B: Growing up? You like McDonald’s now [laughs].
Offset: I know.
Cardi B: Oh my god. He loves him some damn McDonald’s.

Similarly to you, Cardi, the Super Bowl becomes a concert of sorts for people who aren’t football fans; you guys’ first date was Lady Gaga’s Halftime Show. This year, it’s Rihanna’s. Are you guys going? What are you most excited for from the halftime show?
Cardi B: I’m excited of course, to see my commercial, and I’m also excited to see Rihanna perform because…
Offset: Very big moment for hip hop.
Cardi B: Yep.
Offset: Just for our culture, not hip hop, sorry. Very big moment for our culture. For her to be the headliner of the Super Bowl. She deserve that… uplift the queen.
Cardi B: And for [this] to be a big comeback for her and [for us] to be able to witness it. I’m just so excited. Especially as fans; meeting her a couple of times, she’s the best. She’s the sweetest, most nicest, humble person and we can’t wait to support her.
Love that. OK, so you guys seldom take interviews together. You’re obviously married but you’ve also referred to yourselves as business partners in the past. I’m curious about whether that statement still stands today. Do you two believe in keeping your professional and personal lives separate as a couple? Not only when it comes to you two, but also generally for the regular degular couples out there.
Cardi B: I actually like it and I’m very happy because I feel like Offset saved my life from bad contracts [laughs]. Well everybody just says that I’m very nice and every single time I go to meetings I’m really nice and everybody just sometimes could think that they could get over you because you’re just a very nice person. And Offset is a nice person but he gets straight to the point. He’s very good at negotiating and he’s just always there for me…
“We got a legacy to leave behind.”
Offset: For me, I love working with my wife because we got a legacy to leave behind with our kids. So [with] our business moves, I just want to make sure I protect the business for me and her because we got to make sure our kids are situated later on down the line. We can’t just be good right now and we think about the future instead of the present when it comes to business. So we make sure we putting ourselves and aligning ourselves up with brands that match our vibe.
Yes. And I’m sure you guys have been tapped a bunch, why was this, from that business mindset, a good opportunity for you guys?
Cardi B: I mean it’s a personal connection. First things first, we actually really do eat McDonald’s. That’s the thing. Everybody want to front now that they vegan and all that shit. [But], we really do eat McDonald’s. McDonald’s really do be having our fucking backs. Let’s be serious. Every single time we travel to different states, every single time after one or two o’clock, who’s open? Who got your back? Who got your back? Yeah. McDonald’s, bitch… Every single time you go out the country… I’m not a picky eater, but Offset, he’s a very picky eater. And sometimes I’m a picky eater when I’m outside the country because goddamn it. And it’s like who’s always there? Who’s there for you? Yeah, that’s right, motherf****rs. McDonald’s right there for you. Yeah, yeah. Ba da ba ba ba.
And I cannot wait because to your kids, you’re not as cool to them. You’re just their parents to them. So I’m definitely taking my [children] to McDonald’s and when [they] see us there, [they’re] going to be like, “Oh my god, that’s my mom. That’s my mom!”
Beautiful.
Cardi B:
All our kids, they’re going to be like, “Yep, that’s our parents right there. Yeah, that’s right.”

Speaking of kids, y’all are full adults now for real, husband and wife, parents to two children. How do you support each other? What does support look like in partnership?
Offset: First and foremost, we very hard on each other when it comes to music and our business. I’m glad I got her because sometimes I don’t want to say you get comfortable but you get used to doing the same things or might don’t want to go outside of things that you wouldn’t do. Especially with me with socials and her experience with socials always helps me with my career. It’s just always been supportive but not being supportive of everything. Sometimes we got to hear [that] this record [is] not good or the idea is probably not the best idea, [and] you should do it like this. So we just always bouncing through each other’s energy and go off of what we think is possible. We always go through each other and ask questions about whatever it may be.
“We are each other’s hardest critics.”
CardiB: Yeah, I feel like we just support each other in every single way; we are each other’s hardest critics at that. We are going to keep it real with each other. Sometimes you might be stuck in your ways and we will tell each other different things. Sometimes I would give him criticism about something and he would give me criticism about something and it’s like we just be like, “What? Whatever.” But then it’s like we actually take it as consideration and I don’t know, it always end up working out every single time that we criticize each other hard, we go and change it and it’s a workout and we always have a good, I told you so moment.
Offset: For me it’s outfits for her every time. It’s like, “Wear this, wear that, wear this.” “No, I don’t want to wear that.” But then she wears it everywhere and I think for her it’s like me posting more often to keep my name in the talks. Because I go missing for eight days on Instagram, and she’ll be like, “You need to go take pictures of your outfit and put it on there.” And then I don’t want to do it. But then when I do it just be like…
Cardi B: People love it.
Let’s talk music. Cardi, you’ve done such a great job of hopping on singles and supporting rising women rappers over the last few years. But your last full project was a while ago now; what are you working on with in terms of personal music?
Cardi B: It’s coming. We both coming.
Great. Offset, what are you looking forward to in terms of music you’re working on?
Offset: I’m just looking forward to the fans hearing this music I’ve been making because I [used] a lot of new producers, I did a lot of new sounds, there was some new artists. So I’m just excited for the new chapter.
“We do have projects to put out this year and our careers [are] very important to us.”
Cardi, is there anything else you want to say about your new chapter?
Cardi B: I’m excited for it. I’m coming hard.
Can’t wait. So, I want to know, since this is all about love, what does love mean to each of you? By definition as an act, as a practice.
Offset: Hard to explain that.
Cardi B: Yeah, it’s kind of hard to explain that. There’s just a lot of levels of love. First and first you have to be attractive to each other. You know what I’m saying? You have to feel like every single time that you see your man, you want to jump on him. Every single time that you see your girl, you want to grab her, you want to grab her, you want to kiss her. That’s a real important part of love. The connection, the… I guess sexual connection, the attraction. And then of course it’s like… I don’t know, I feel like me and Offset have this great friendship. He’s really my best friend. We’re each other’s best friends. I feel, I really feel like my man will do anything for me and I’ll do anything too.
“I mean we could brag about a lot of things, but I mean if we could really just keep it simple… we set the trends.”
Offset: Love is in the air. Love to me is hearing me out as a man. You know what I’m saying? As a man, hearing me out, letting me lead but no matter the circumstances and thinking about how I feel about something. Because my girl do think about how I feel. A lot of these women out here with me, especially as a Black man, we always be closed and caged and I feel like love is finding somebody that you can open up to as a man and showing a little bit of vulnerability and be able to speak to them about things you want to speak to maybe the next man or female about, and I get that from her. So love is accepting me for who I am and accepting the follow and allow me to lead as the king, as I am.
The king who found his queen. Ok so, I typically start with this question, but it’s been a crazy time and there’s no right or wrong way to have a conversation, so I’ll ask now – how are you guys doing?
Cardi B: Us?
Yes.
Offset: We push through this day by day and [we’re] trying to just stay focused on end goals and keeping God first and believing in him, and we walking.
“We push through day by day.”
Cardi B: Yeah. I feel like lately we just been chasing down our goals and not letting anything distract us. Just balancing out our lives because we do have projects to put out this year and our careers [are] very important to us. And then balancing things out with our careers and our personal lives… our children and stuff. So we just, being adults, we just adulting like everybody else. That’s what I’ve been telling people every day. It’s like we just being grownups, it’s not easy being grownups.
At all.
Cardi B: It’s work.

Praying for you guys and glad to hear that you’re doing okay. Cardi, the other day you said that one of your biggest flaws is not bragging enough. Now, you have the opportunity to show your world the love on this platform and with this ad, what’s one thing you’d brag about your relationship?
Offset: See me, as the man, I’d brag about the money I spend on my lady because I spend a chunky load of it baby. Make sure my baby’s flourishing and shining and yeah, that’s how I’m going to come, that’s how I’m gonna flex. My bills I spent. You see all them, 55, 65 Birkins my lady got? That’s me. The big chicken nugget. The big chicken nugget on the ring finger? That’s me. Multiple cars? That’s me. House in DR? That’s me.
Heard you.
Cardi B: Yeah. Yeah, that’s true. I mean we could brag about a lot of things, but I mean if we could really just keep it simple… we set the trends.
Okay, and lastly – this is a tough, fun one, but I need to know from each of you, who do you think is the better rapper between you two?
Cardi B: I think Offset. Offset could really rap his ass off. He’s really like a freestyler. Oh man, he, wait, hold on…
I was going to say… that’s real love.
Cardi B: Wait, Kiari! [speaks to Offset] They said who, from each other, who do you think is the better rapper? Me or you? I said Offset.
Offset: Got to be.
Cardi B: Wait, hold on… We do be giving each other pointers though.
Cardi B famously rapped, “I don’t cook,” on her hit single, “WAP,” and thanks to her latest partnership with McDonald’s, her husband, fellow rapper Offset won’t have to worry about going hungry anytime soon. The famous couple’s joint partnership with the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald’s will set in when they don’t fill like lifting a finger.
The official commercial for their couple’s meal with the franchise aired at the opening of Super Bowl LVII. During the commercial, the pair appear with several other couples. Measuring their love for one another, Cardi is asked does she know Offset’s go-to McDonald’s meal, to which she lovingly looks into his eyes to answer, “a quarter pounder and a Hi-C drink.”
Inspired by Offset’s favorite McDonald’s meal, the chain has used that as the basis for the Cardi B and Offset Meal, which comes with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke.
Barely holding back her excitement, the “Up” rapper took to Twitter to respond to the commercial’s airing, writing, “Y’all saw our commercial? PARAPAPAPA I’m F*ckin him! …The CARDI & Offset meal is coming February 14 at your closest McDonald’s!!!.”
Yall saw our commercial? PARAPAPAPA IM FUCKIN HIM!!!!!! …The CARDI & Offset meal coming 2.14 at your closest McDonald’s!!!
The fast-food chain hopped on Twitter to share a promotional image of the couple with the caption, “introducing the Cardi B & Offset meal, coming February 14.”
Cardi B and Offset’s lovey-dovey ways can’t be stopped — not even by a (rumored) backstage fight at the Grammys between Offset and his Migos bandmate Quavo. Hope you’re not already tired of them because they’re about to invade your local fast-food joint.
That’s right; the next stars to get their own McDonald’s meal will be Cardi B and Offset. Apparently, that’s what they were filming their Valentine’s Day-themed Super Bowl commercial for last month; photos have surfaced online of what appears to be the promotional poster for the meal, which appears to include a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries, an apple pie, a large Hi-C, and a large Coke. So, nothing too wild — remember the Saweetie remixes? — but perfect for sharing if you’re spending your V-Day on a budget.
Cardi and Offset are just the latest music stars to partner with the Golden Arches — a tactic that has been quite lucrative for the fast-food company. Previously, McDonald’s partnered with Korean boy band BTS, Latin music star J Balvin, and Houston rap hero Travis Scott. Each meal has been accompanied by a merch collection co-designed by the musicians in question, ranging from apparel to toys to all kinds of bizarre accessories.
We’ll likely find out more about the upcoming meal during the Super Bowl, when the commercial will air alongside spots featuring Jack Harlow and Missy Elliott, Diddy, and more.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Cardi B and Offset appear to be receiving their own Valentine’s Day-themed meal for McDonald’s. A leaked image of an advertisement circulating on social media shows something called “The Cardi B & Offset Meal.” Included in the image are a cheeseburger and Quarter Pounder with cheese with a side of BBQ sauce, a large fries, an Apple Pie, and a large Hi-C Orange Lavaburst, as well as a large Coca-Cola.
The leaked McDonald’s meal comes after the two recently filmed a TV spot for the fast food chain. The advertisement is reportedly going to air during Super Bowl LVII on Sunday.

While she and her husband will be appearing in a commercial during the Super Bowl, Cardi B has previously said that she turned down performing at the event in past years. Speaking with The Associated Press in 2019, she explained: “My husband, he loves football. His kids play football. It’s really hard for him. … He really wants to go to the Super Bowl, but he can’t go to the Super Bowl, because he’s got to stand for something. You have to sacrifice that. I got to sacrifice a lot of money to perform. But there’s a man who sacrificed his job for us, so we got to stand behind him.”
Cardi B and Offset are far from the only faces in hip-hop who will be appearing in commercials during the Super Bowl. Missy Elliott and Jack Harlow will be starring in an advertisement for Doritos. Additionally, Diddy is in a new Uber commercial.
The Super Bowl will kick off at 6:30 PM, ET on Sunday, February 12, 2023, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. For the game, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on Jalen Hurts and the Philidelphia Eagles. During the game, Rihanna will be headlining the halftime show performance. She’s also rumored to be announcing a tour afterward. Check out the leaked Cardi B and Offset meal from McDonald’s below.
Cardi B and her husband, Offset, will be starring in a Super Bowl commercial for McDonald’s. According to TMZ, the two filmed the advertisement with a small crew around Christmas.
The commercial is reportedly Valentine’s Day themed and doesn’t feature their children.

Working with McDonald’s will be Cardi’s second time appearing in a Super Bowl commercial. She also starred in a Pepsi ad a few years back.
While she will have now appeared in two Super Bowl commercials, Cardi has yet to perform during the event. Back in 2019, she told The Associated Press that the NFL offered to have her take the stage in Atlanta, but she declined. She explained at the time that she felt obligated to “stand behind” Kaepernick.
“My husband, he loves football. His kids play football. It’s really hard for him. … He really wants to go to the Super Bowl, but he can’t go to the Super Bowl, because he’s got to stand for something,” Cardi told the outlet.
“You have to sacrifice that,” she added. “I got to sacrifice a lot of money to perform. But there’s a man who sacrificed his job for us, so we got to stand behind him.”
As for this year’s Super Bowl, Rihanna will be headlining the halftime show performance. In support of the event, Rihanna released Super Bowl-themed Savage X Fenty merch, earlier this week. The collection features layered sweatpants, cropped jerseys, as well as a beanie.
Check out Cardi B’s previous advertisement with Pepsi below and be on the lookout for her McDonald’s commercial on February 12.
Pusha T is at it again. After penning the “Spicy Fish Diss” for Arby’s dissing McDonald’s’ Filet-O-Fish sandwich, the Virginia rapper once again takes aim at the fast food giant with “Rib Roast,” a Western-themed takedown of the Golden Arches’ beloved McRib. “McDonald’s, what you selling, mystery meat?” Push sneers. “Pop up and go away, what does history teach?” Somehow or another, he manages to make it through the whole thing without sneaking in a bar about cocaine… Growth?
For what it’s worth, Arby’s signing Pusha to be its official attack dog has proven to be pretty lucrative for Arby’s. According to an Apex Marketing estimate in March, the jingle/diss track was worth more than $8 million in advertising for Arby’s, whose previous tagline, “We have the meats,” has become pretty ubiquitous if not particularly enticing. It’s also proven a worthwhile endeavor for Pusha, who allegedly penned the “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle for McDonald’s for a flat fee and never got a royalty check. Considering he’s been after Lil Wayne for over a decade over who wore a hoodie first (and subsequently expanded that feud to include Wayne’s protege Drake), this whole fast food beef (heh) offers him the perfect excuse to exercise his petty and get paid for it.
Watch Pusha T and Arby’s’ “Rib Roast” video above.
