OK, folks, take note, this is how you run social media nowadays. Wendy’s and Wingstop took the game to another level when their community managers decided to drop 140-character poisonous rhymes via Twitter, in what was one of the most enticing fast food rap battles to ever grace God’s America.
First, it was Wingstop, who paid homage to the legit Georgia hip-hop trio Migos, by quoting their ‘Bad and Boujee’ jam.
Gamestop, Wingstop.
Copped a new game for the ❌📦
Saucin' and tossin' our wings in a pot, pot.
We got that Original Hot, Hot. https://t.co/Wffggswh7L— Wingstop (@wingstop) October 2, 2017
The shameless display of style was sure to attract some haters, and it wasn’t long before Wendy’s caught wind of the battle that was brewing on the interwebz!
Sit down, be humble. 😉

That on point Kendrick Lamar quote was the spark needed to ignite the fuel. Soon it was an all-out War, and these fast food joints were not holding back.
Be there. Done that.
Bring something fresh… not frozen. 😉 https://t.co/xi81olVFgP

Using your own motto against you is probably worse than stepping on a man’s brand new sneakers – blood had been shed, there was no going back now.
Fresh, never frozen since 69
Trying to cop that mixtape, better get in line
Grabbed a couple wings now you're trying to fly
But nothing gets 'em dipping like a Frosty and fry

Things were starting to get good now. The rhymes had the people hungry for more and Wingstop had to prove that they are no fools.
A frosty and a fry?
Giiiirl bye.Wingstop flavor bringin' all the cravers!
They eat us now and save you for later. ✌🏽 https://t.co/Kt3eeeWfUx— Wingstop (@wingstop) October 2, 2017
The fire alarm went off, the place was heating up, Wendy’s had to drop another nuclear bomb.
Please
They eat us now, they eat us later
Adding up our Wins on a calculatorYou're a laughless clown, or a king that's throneless
Let me get those wings uuuuhhhhhhh boneless https://t.co/vXdnQXf7UD— Wendy’s (@Wendys) October 2, 2017
The air was getting thin, the suspense making me sick, Wingstop dropped its guard down but came back with a riff!
Add 'em up, add 'em up.
Ain't nothin' like Wingstop ranch in a cup.
Not here to throw shade, just spittin' some heat.
🍔/🍗 nah, that's weak. https://t.co/ebNpd8ibJz— Wingstop (@wingstop) October 2, 2017
Fired had consumed everything on the internet by now. It was like something out of a Mad Max movie. Nuclear winter was upon us now – Wendy took the spear from the ground…
Wings flying high but it's time to run
Cuz we're serving up bars on a warm toasted bunWe keep it spicy with our chicken, our flow, and memes
So it's nighty night now, brush your teeth, sweet dreams https://t.co/fr0fdJtYeW— Wendy’s (@Wendys) October 2, 2017
Wingstop was shook. They knew there was no room for halfway crooks. They had to finish what they started, it’s all they ever wanted, to rule the world of fast food, and lay to rest some fools.
You tried it… you really did.
Who'd you borrow those lines from Sid the kid?
It's closing time and we're leaving frozen beef behind. 👋🏽 https://t.co/LLPlhjvu6w— Wingstop (@wingstop) October 2, 2017
Wendy had been here before, dropping knowledge and the mic, its what she was born to do, this battle might be done, but the war is still not over.
We know why the chicken crossed the road
But you crossed the boss and straight got toldWe had some fun, but yeah we're through
Gift wrapping this L to send home with you https://t.co/UPc2vFsoh3— Wendy’s (@Wendys) October 2, 2017
Last words are for kings and Wingstop never misses the beat.
You’re queen of retweets with no soul.
We’re king of flavor & everything else for that matter.
You talk a good game but it’s all chatter. https://t.co/qrPdcDLSOR— Wingstop (@wingstop) October 2, 2017
And that was it, that’s how it all played out, win or lose, it was the people who took all the hoot. Soundcloud even contacted Wendy’s with an offer to do a mixtape. What a time to be alive! When social media managers become battle rappers, the world will no longer know hunger.

Who you really think won, though? What business will you reward with your money? We would say who we think won, but they don’t pay us enough!
