If you’ve paid any attention to the fast-food world in the last few years (and we know you have), you’d know the big trend is celebrity meals. From Nelly to Justin Bieber to Megan Thee Stallion, it seems like everyone (especially musicians) has their own meal. That’s why we weren’t surprised to hear that rapper Jack Harlow has his own meal at KFC.

The Jack Harlow meal has been available since June 6 at KFC restaurants nationwide. In a press release, the “First Class” singer explained that his limited-edition combo meal pays homage to his childhood growing up in Louisville, Kentucky.

“When KFC asked me to create my own meal, I knew it couldn’t be just any meal,” he said. “My meal brings together my childhood favorites from growing up in Louisville, the KFC Mac & Cheese, with my new go-to Spicy Chicken Sandwich (with plenty of ranch), Secret Recipe Fries, and lemonade – it doesn’t get much better.”

And while that meal sounds good enough for us to head to our local KFC, some lucky fast-food fans in Smyrna, Georgia, got more than fried chicken last weekend. That’s because, to get the word out on his new meal, Harlow decided to work the drive-thru at the Atlanta-area restaurant. Also, there was a giant KFC x Jack Harlow bucket speaker instead of the usual drive-thru speaker.

In a clip of the rapper’s side hustle, you can see Harlow adorned in an official, bright red KFC uniform and black hat as he pokes his head out of the drive-thru window. Obviously recognizing him, a woman pulls up and asks if she can get his meal. He asks her to be “patient with us” and closes the window. We can only assume that after that clip, she got to not only meet Harlow but enjoy the macaroni and cheese and spicy chicken, right?
