Last week, Chance the Rapper succeeded in getting Wendy’s to bring back their spicy chicken nuggets. The entertainer tweeted about the fast food chain bringing them back, saying “Positive Affirmations for today: I WILL have a good day, I Will succeed today, Wendy’s WILL bring back spicy nuggets at some point please please Lord let it be today.”

Wendy’s replied, “It won’t be today, but there’s always a chance.”

Then put out their own tweet, telling people that if 2 million people liked it, they’d bring the nuggets back.
Y’all keep asking, so here’s your chance.
The people in charge say if you guys can get our tweet (this one right here) to 2 Million likes, they will bring SPICY CHICKEN NUGGETS BACK.

Cue the celebrities who have to sh!t on other people’s happiness.
Amy Schumer, Alyssa Milano and others scolded Chance the Rapper for supporting a fast food chain that doesn’t protect farmworker women from sexual assault and rape in the fields.
And they promptly called for the boycott of the chain.
.@chancetherapper did you know @Wendys is the only fast food chain refusing to protect farmworker women from sexual assault & rape in the fields? Message for the people in charge: Instead of spicy nuggets, we want food that is harvested w/ dignity NOT violence. #BoycottWendys
