Pusha T has, once again, shared a diss track aimed at a sandwich. For a new campaign with fast-food chain Arby’s, Pusha T has recorded a track mocking the McDonald’s McRib and promoting Arby’s Real Country Style Rib Sandwich. The rapper also collaborated with Arby’s on a limited-edition line of merchandise inspired by the sandwich, including bolo ties, trucker hats, and shirts. Check out the music video, starring bull riding champion Ezekial “Blue” Mitchell, below.
Pusha T previously recorded a track for an Arby’s ad dissing the McDonald’s Filet-o-Fish sandwich, rapping “If you know me and you know me well/Our fish is gonna tip that scale.” And though his claim has been disputed, he maintains he wrote McDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle for a flat fee. In 2014, Pusha T appeared on the song “Burial” by EDM producer Yogi; a snippet (that did not feature Pusha T’s voice) would later be sampled for Arby’s “We Got the Meats” campaign.
Pusha T is currently on tour in support of his latest album It’s Almost Dry, his first to hit No. 1 on the Billboard album chart.
