Why did Pusha T diss McDonald's?

On March 21, 2022, Arby's unveiled their fish sandwich commercial which featured Pusha T.

The fast-food staple released the ad through their social media channels, such as YouTube and Twitter, with the caption: "If you think the new Arby’s x @PUSHA_T diss track is too hot, maybe you’re not quite ready for our new Spicy Fish Sandwich either. #ArbysSpicyFishDissTrack."

During the promotional advertisement, Pusha T proceeded to aim many of his lyrics towards Arby's industry competition, McDonald's.

Throughout the jingle, titled Spicy Fish Diss Track, the hip-hop hitmaker rapped: "I'm the reason why the whole world love it...Now I gotta crush it."

"Filet-O-Fish is a** and you should be disgusted...How dare you sell a square fish asking us to trust it?"

Pusha T added: "A half slice of cheese, is Micky D's on a budget?"

"Arby's crispy fish is simply it...With lines 'round the corner, we might need a guest list."

"Exit stage left, the sandwiches taste fresh...A little cube of fish from a clown is basic."

How did social media react?

Following the distribution of Spicy Fish Diss Track, users took to social media to express their opinions.

On Twitter, one person wrote: "Nobody cares about spicy fish. BRING BACK POTATO CAKES."

Another person tweeted: "Pusha wrote the McDonalds I'm Loving it jingle, a song about Popeyes, now this. Dude has no brand loyalty."

"Arbys You Better Let Them Know Not to Play With Those Seasoned Curly Fries Too!!! Dip Those Fries In Some Honey Mustard and It Will Change Your Life," tweeted another."

Did Pusha T write McDonald's 'I'm Lovin it' slogan?

In 2003, Pusha T - when he was still a part of rap music duo Clipse - teamed up with Justin Timberlake and Pharrell to craft the I'm Lovin It jingle for McDonald's.

Although Pusha T is listed in the songwriting credits of the popular ad slogan, he didn't retain any publishing rights to the song.

The rapper was paid for the fast-food jingle, but he estimates it could have been a lot more if he secured a part of the publishing rights.

In 2018, he told : "Keep your publishing. That check will be nice, but I’m Lovin’ It been running for how long now? I did this in ‘03. Who knows what it would have been."
