The fast-food giant, McDonald's, took to twitter their response to Kanye West's poem about McDonald's fries that was published in Frank Ocean's limited zine called "Boys Don't Cry." West's poem was so intriguing and catchy that Joey Bada$S$ performed a rap version of the piece for host Megan Ryte, and praised it as classic and Shakespearean.

The zine, "Boys Don't Cry," was a companion to Ocean's new album, "Blonde," which featured artworks, interviews and personal essays from collaborators. It also included a poem about McDonald's fries personally written by West himself. According to Slate, the artist appeared to be criticizing the fast food giant by calling their French fries evil and carping their McRib's which contains a lot of artificial meat.

West's poem published in the zine, "Boys Don't Cry" was entertaining but the message was so controversial that McDonald's could not help but respond to the artist with their own poem via a Twitter post. However, the public did not respond to the company's tweet too well as it only gained a few number of likes and retweets.
