J Balvin’s order is up.
Following last month’s much buzzed-about celebrity menu collaboration with Travis Scott, McDonald’s is adding some international flair with its latest partnership with the reggaeton superstar.
This week, the fast food giant unveiled The J Balvin Meal, featuring a Big Mac sandwich, medium World Famous Fries with ketchup, and an Oreo McFlurry in honor of one of the world’s top streaming artists.
“From topping charts around the world to landing countless award nominations, J Balvin is a trailblazing international icon,” McDonald’s U.S. Chief Marketing Officer Morgan Flatley said in a statement. “He’s always been a regular at McDonald’s restaurants during his concert tours, and now we’re excited to bring his go-to order to our menus across the U.S.”
“As a longtime McDonald’s fan, I am excited to join the shortlist of global icons who have had a meal named in their honor,” J Balvin said.
The 35-year-old Colombian-born crooner (whose real name is José Álvaro Osorio Balvín) took to Instagram to share the news, sporting a diamond-encrusted chain of a McDonald’s tray with the meal on it.
The pop superstar, who just scored a MTV Video Music Award for “Best Latin” and also earned thirteen Latin Grammy Award nominations, the most of any artist this year, said he is looking forward to sharing his signature order with his fans, along with more surprises that are to come with this partnership.
The combo meal, varying in prices depending on region, will be available at participating restaurants through Nov. 1 across the U.S.
The J Balvin Meal is available to order in restaurants for carry-out, at the drive thru, via McDelivery or through the McDonald’s App. Customers who purchase The J Balvin Meal as an offer on the McDonald’s App will receive the Oreo McFlurry for free.
Following the launch of the Scott’s signature meal (Quarter Pounder with cheese, lettuce and bacon, with medium fries and barbecue sauce and a Sprite) in September, the company said J Balvin’s is only the second time a celebrity’s name has been featured on its menu since 1992.
