Back in 1992, McDonald’s dropped a celebrity meal featuring Michael Jordan. His meal consisted of a Quarter Pounder with bacon and barbecue sauce, a side of fried and a drink. Simple, delicious, and perfect. Fast forward to September 2020 when rapper Travis Scott got his own signature meal from the fast-food chain. Similar to Jordan’s meal, Scott’s consists of a Quarter Pounder with cheese and bacon, French fries with a barbecue dipping sauce, and (specifically) a Sprite.
Since then, a handful of other celebrities have gotten their own meals. Obviously, this has led to rival Burger King creating its own celebrity-driven meals, except with a little change. BK is using well-known celebrities’ real names.

You’re likely well aware that many famous people don’t use their real names. That’s why you shouldn’t be confused to hear that Burger King’s celebrity meals were created for Cornell Haynes Jr., Larissa Machado, and Chase Hudson. For those unaware, these seemingly unknown people are musical artists Nelly, Anitta, and Lil Huddy, respectively.
The burger chain is referring to the meals as its “Keep It Real Meals.” Each, like the McDonald’s version, consists of items from BK’s “real” menu. This is obviously a reference to Mickey D’s allowing celebrities to change up the meals to their liking. It’s also a reference to said celebrities using their real, often not widely known names.
Nelly’s meal, called the Cornell Haynes Jr. Meal, is a flame-gilled Whopper with lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, ketchup, and cheese, small French fries, and a small Sprite.
While we’re not sure how we feel about Burger King ripping off another restaurant’s idea, we definitely want to grab a Cornell Haynes Jr. Meal the next time we find ourselves near a BK.
