Yesterday, grime lord Stormzy created his own little slice of history after he was given his own custom burger at fast food outlet Nandos.
After delivering a speech to students at Oxford University, the rapper tweeted the outlet, noting that “Halloumi, cheese and garlic bread is a burger in itself. Needs going on the menu.”

That’s salesmanship!

Not one to shy away from lavish investments, in 2014 it was estimated that Rick Ross was earning up to $7 million per year from his nine Wingstop outlets around the country. Such an investment has seen him place on the hip-hop cash kings list year after year.
Queen Latifah Owns Fatburger Outlets While Being A Jenny Craig Spokeswoman
This is definition of awkward. Despite being a Jenny Craig spokeswoman since 2008, it was revealed in 2012 that the healthy lifestyle advocate had in fact secretly opened a collection of Fatburger franchises in Miami, contradicting the messages that she had been proclaiming about living healthy.
