Another user added, “Sooo like Travis Scott and J Balvin have meals with McDonald’s... all I’m saying is I’m READY for when BAD BUNNY comes out with his.” One user said, “So another basic meal that’s going to be raised in price and people are going to actually buy it thinking it’s something special.”

 

 

 

 

Michael Jordan was the first-ever global icon to get his own McDonald’s signature meal way back in 1992 followed by Scott, which makes Balvin only the third in the list to crack the deal.

On the work front, Balvin had released his fifth studio album, ‘Colores’ earlier in March which earned him 13 Latin Grammy Award nominations.
