Scott’s version of the Quarter Pounder adds bacon and lettuce to the burger alongside a Sprite, a side of fries, and BBQ dipping sauce, which McDonald’s said was the rapper’s preferred meal growing up in his native Houston.

The meal costs $6 and McDonald’s says “It’s lit!” using one of Scott’s signature tag lines.
