Grime legend Stormzy has teamed up with McDonald’s for the UK and Ireland’s first ‘Famous Order’ meal.
The ‘Famous Order’ meal was an initiative set up by McDonald’s for fans to try the favourite order of their favourite artists. Known for its iconic concoction of McDonald’s classics, the ‘Famous Order’ has been a limited edition fixture on US menus, featuring the favourite orders of J Balvin, Travis Scott, Saweetie, BTS and Mariah Carey. Stormzy joins this legendary lineup, having the first ‘Famous Order’ to come out of the UK and Ireland.
The ‘Big For Your Boots’ performer will see his famous order drop on February 12. Consisting of 9 Chicken McNuggets, fries, two BBQ dips, a Sprite Zero and a choice of either an Oreo McFlurry or an Apple Pie – the meal will only set fans back £7.99.

Commenting on the upcoming collaboration, Stormzy stated: “I am so gassed for my McDonald’s order to be the first ever ‘Famous Order’ in the UK and Ireland. Never thought I’d have my own order on the official menu. That’s mad.”
Stormzy first gained traction within the underground music scene in the mid-2010s for his enticing freestyles over classic grime melodies. With three No. 1 albums, ‘Gang Signs & Prayer’, ‘Heavy Is The Head’ and ‘This Is What I Mean’, the first of which achieving the status of the first grime album to ever reach the top spot, Stormzy has taken the world by storm, with his clever wordplay and bodacious flow. Most recently, the Croydon legend collaborated with Chase & Status for ‘BACKBONE’ a high-energy electronic-grime anthem, up for ‘Song Of The Year’ at this year’s BRIT Awards.
Stormzy’s icon status means he’s more than a worthy person to have the UK and Ireland’s first ‘Famous Order’ meal. Ben Fox, McDonald’s UK & Ireland Chief Marketing Officer, said: “Stormzy is a McDonald’s fan through and through, and a true global icon. This makes him the perfect superstar to bring to life the fact that no matter how famous you are, everyone has a favourite, go to, McDonald’s order. Introducing Stormzy’s signature order is an incredible moment for the brand; two icons colliding, giving everyone the chance to eat just like Big Mike at McDonald’s and, if they are lucky, to nab some exclusive branded merch.”
