Milwaukee-based rap artist Chicken P began trending online after he recently purchased 500 burgers from a local McDonald’s to feed the homeless community. The incident took place on February 10.
"Really, I just be in the spirit sometimes. I just be wanting to give back, be riding around, there’s people outside cold, they got a million kids, walking, they’re freezing," Chicken P told Fox6 News.
Elijah Jones, the manager of the McDonald’s store, shared her thoughts on the gesture and stated:
“Me being me, I just come up front like, ‘Who ordered 500 burgers? That's a lot of burgers… I feel like that’s much respect, because everybody don’t do that,” Jones stated.
Elijah added that when she realized Chicken P’s intention, she “shook his hand” and “went back to make the burgers.”
According to Fox6 News, four employees prepared the order in about 45 minutes. Two of them cooked the hamburgers and the other two made cheeseburgers. The total cost for the 500 burgers exceeded $1,100.
In the wake of Chicken P's now-viral gesture, the internet has been buzzing with diverse reactions. For instance, Instagram user @souljaiam_king commented on The Neighborhood Talk’s post about it and said:
Many people joined the conversation and shared similar reactions on the platform:
Others continued to weigh in with their blessings and best wishes to the rapper for his contributions to the community.
Notably, Chicken P told Fox6 News that he drove around for hours distributing burgers to underprivileged people in his hometown. He mentioned giving “each person two burgers,” and providing mothers with their children “20 burgers.”
