The Burger King commercial featuring Mary J. Blige singing about chicken has been pulled. But the fast-food chain is blaming music licensing issues for the decision not criticism of the ad.
The spot debuted this week. In it, Blige sings about chicken snack wraps.
But as the video went viral, some in the black community criticized the ad as stereotypical.
Burger King said Tuesday the commercial was pulled because of a licensing concern. The company said it hopes to have the Blige "ads back on the air soon."
What's your take ?
I'm glad they pulled this commercial because #1 it's not a good one #2 the song is lame #3 it gives MJB a bad look... i overall believe they should change it up a bit... like give MJB another song to sing... I've seen her in a couple commercials & they excited me ( Old Navy & Ipod ones are my favorite ) the BK commerical just made me say "C'mon Mary" & "Why Mary"
