Megan Thee Stallion revealed her hot girl summer plans this year include more than new music. The Houston rapper announced plans to enter the fast food business with her very own Popeyes restaurant. In a video uploaded across her social media accounts, the 30-year-old visited the construction site of the location, wearing a cropped white t-shirt, lowrise denim and a bright orange hard hat.
“I just visited my location while she’s still just bones,” detailed the Grammy winner in the caption. She continued to exclaim, “This is abt to be THEE LITTEST Popeyes ever.”
The clip also teased the return of Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hottie Sauce,” first introduced with a collaboration between the rapper and the fried chicken eatery in 2021.
Back then, the “Cognac Queen” performer and Popeyes teamed up on not only the sweet and spicy condiment, but also for limited edition merchandise and philanthropic efforts. In the unique partnership, Megan Thee Stallion became a franchise owner, launched the aforementioned dipping sauce, and joined Popeyes to make a six-figure donation to Houston Random Acts of Kindness with the 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,” detailed Bruno Cardinali, Chief Marketing Officer for Popeyes at the time.
“I’m appreciative of Popeyes’ commitment to empowering Black women and look forward to opening Popeyes Restaurants,” added the chart-topping performer. “Teaming up with Popeyes is such a milestone in my journey and evolution as an entrepreneur. I’ve always been a fan of the Popeyes brand, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to join the brand and help create the new Megan Thee Stallion Hottie Sauce for their line-up.”
