The chicken division of Toronto-based Restaurant Brands International Inc. said the stage-named artist, whose real name is Megan Pete, will introduce a new Hottie Sauce on Oct. 19 for the brand’s popular chicken sandwich and nuggets as well as introduce new merchandise.
Popeyes also has approved the “Hot Girl Summer” singer to become a Popeyes franchisee, the company said.
“I’m appreciative of Popeye’s commitment to empowering Black women and look forward to opening Popeyes restaurants,” the musician, who also goes by Tina Snow, said in a statement.
“Teaming up with Popeyes is such a milestone in my journey and evolution as an entrepreneur,” she said. “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.”
The partnership also includes a philanthropy component.
“As part of the larger collaboration, Popeyes and Megan will be making a six-figure donation to Houston Random Acts of Kindness, whose mission is to promote empathy and compassion while encouraging selfless concern for the welfare of others in the Houston community,” the company and Houston-born musician said.
