Vince Staples is one of the more colorful personalities in hip-hop. Whether he is going in on white jeans, Spotify or '90s rap, Staples is a constant source of entertainment outside of his music. He is known for being a talented rapper and even actor (as seen in Dope), but now Vince is has also unveiled a new and not surprising talent - Yelp reviewer. In a now deleted review, he shared his thoughts on a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.
Dated March 12, the five-star review for Royals Fried Chicken is a bit of poetic justice for this restaurant in a world of Yelp reviews that is a mixed bag of vitriol hatred and then glowing writing from potential employees and fans still riding the sugar, salt and fat high from their meal.
"For one I been to Kentucky never seen a KFC that's based on a true story and this IS the true story," he starts. He then sets the scene - saying that they were there after a Bryson Tiller show in the area, so things were going to be "grown and sexy."
"The menu is on the wall as a warning of things to come," he writes. "A man like me needs Pimento cheese on the medium please and don't you dare hold that grease. This is America."
He then offers up the highest praise on can give a restaurant in Kentucky - "If you love your life and you love freedom then you must visit."
Vince had to pull down his Yelp account, which apparently had four other reviews, but this was the one that was spotted by Pigeons & Planes, which also has two photos of his food and Vince and a friend enjoying some apple pie.
