NEW YORK, NY – Cardi B and Offset surprised fans when they popped up at a McDonald’s restaurant in the heart of New York City earlier this week in celebration of the launch of their collab meal.
A swarm of fans met the couple at the always-busy Times Square golden arches location on Tuesday afternoon (February 14), where Cardi and Set enjoyed their signature meal that launched with a Super Bowl commercial over the weekend.
According to TMZ, there was a kiss cam inside for Cardi and Offset to take pictures with and they even ended up on the jumbotron for all of Times Square to see.
“Just a lil surprise appearance,” Cardi captioned her Instagram Story embracing the droves of fans with their phones out and waving.

The celebrity meal for two is filled with a cheeseburger, Quarter Pounder with cheese, barbecue sauce, large fries to share, an apple pie, a large Hi-C and a large Coke.
The accompanying commercial aired during Super Bowl LVII on Sunday night (February 12), just ahead of Valentine’s Day.
The romantic ad opens with a woman explaining if she doesn’t know her boyfriend’s McDonald’s order then she doesn’t really know him, followed by several other couples speaking about their significant other’s go-to meal.
“He likes a Quarter Pounder and a Hi-C. No onions, just cheese. He a simple man,” Cardi said of Offset’s favorite order before the topic of French fries came into play.
One of the other boyfriends spoke about getting “points” for sharing their fries, which prompted Offset to say: “If it’s mine, it’s hers. There ain’t no stealing.”
The Invasion of Privacy rapper also teased that official Cardi B and Offset x McDonald’s merchandise is on the way to commemorate the fast food collaboration.
Offset and Cardi B are far from the first celebrities to receive their own McDonald’s meal as Saweetie, Travis Scott, J Balvin and BTS are among those to previously have their own specific celebrity meal for a limited time at Mickey Dee’s.
