Popeyes Serves McDonald's Five Piece and A Side of Bars In New A.I. Diss Track
Source: Brandon Bell / Getty Popeyes isn't playing any games with McDonald's. The Louisiana-born chicken spot just dropped its new Chicken Wraps for a limited time, and right when fans were loving the heat, McDonald's came sliding in with the return of their Snack Wraps. Coincidence? Popeyes says nah, that's a straight-up 'fowl move.' In true 2025 fashion, with an A.I.-powered diss track. Yep, the chain brought in artificial intelligence to write and rap a whole track going straight at Ronald McDonald, and it's packed with flavor, jokes, and bars. This wasn't just audio, either. The diss came with a wild animated video where Ronald's looking lost in the kitchen, goofy as ever, while Popeyes characters bring the heat with lines about real ingredients, bold spice, and who's really running the chicken game. One line that's already gone viral 'Food be tasting funny when the clown be in the kitchen.' It's a direct hit, throwing shade at McDonald's Snack Wraps and putting Popeyes' quality front and center. The A.I.-generated lyrics don't hold back. They flex hard on crispy chicken done right, real seasoning blends, and wraps that 'don't tap out.' Meanwhile, Ronald is shown stumbling through recipes, looking clueless while a flashy chicken in a Popeyes apron stunts with confidence. Popeye's social media team may be giving Wendy's team a run for their money. This diss track is just the latest example of how the brand keeps its name in the conversation, and its wraps in everyone's hands. Whether you're team Popeyes or just here for the roast, one thing's clear, this beef—well, chicken—is cooked to perfection. Check out some of the funniest reactions to the diss track below.

Wendy's quietly brings back unexpected menu item after 8-year hiatus
"Running around like a chicken with its head cut off" perfectly describes the current state of the fast-food sector. To keep up with rivals, prevent falling behind on trends, and incentivize people to dine at their locations while navigating an uncertain economy, fast-food chains have prioritized innovation by constantly developing and launching new menu items. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter A growing chicken trend has recently emerged among fast-food chains, with major players like Chick-fil-A, Yum! Brands' YUM Taco Bell, McDonald's, and Popeyes launching new chicken-based products to dominate the sector. Related: Wendy's adds old-school toys to take on McDonald's Happy Meal It may have all started with Chick-fil-A - since its inception, it has been one of the first chains to focus solely on developing chicken-based menu items. Image source: Brandon Bell/Getty Although other fast-food giants may have had bigger audiences, Chick-fil-A quickly began taking over the market, partly causing big chains like McDonald's (MCD) to decline in sales over the last few years. This chicken trend is so prominent in the industry that McDonald's created three new Global Category Management teams focused on beef, chicken, and beverages/desserts to further specialize innovation within its food products. Related: McDonald's brings back experimental menu item 13 years later Not long after, McDonald's announced the return of its fan-favorite Snack Wrap, which went viral among consumers. Other fast-food rivals followed its lead by unveiling similar items to avoid being left behind by the growing competition. Popeyes launched the new Chicken Wraps, Jack in the Box (JACK) introduced the Jack Wraps, and Taco Bell re-released its Crispy Chicken Nuggets, plus introduced the new Crispy Chicken Tacos and Burritos. All the chicken wraps come with chicken strips and toppings wrapped inside a warm tortilla. Now, Wendy's is entering the chicken race with the launch of its own version. Wendy's (WEN) is bringing back the chicken tenders in a very sneaky way because this menu item is currently being tested across select markets and only at a few locations for a limited time, as reported by @snack_qween on Instagram. No specific locations have been disclosed, since no efforts have been made to promote this unexpected release. Still, if a Wendy's near you happens to have them, customers may order them in three and four-count packages.

The fast-food chain later discontinued and re-launched various versions in 2007 and 2017, but none managed to stick to the permanent menu for long. It's unclear why Wendy's keeps re-releasing different versions of the chicken tenders, but this is a good sign the company may be trying to perfect them to make them a permanent part of the menu. Although Wendy's is no stranger to releasing chicken tenders, the fast-food chain has labeled this latest launch as a new menu item. This could mean the chicken tenders have been reformulated and improved, which might be why they are not yet available nationwide.
