Nas is partnering with Sweet Chick, a New York City restaurant that specializes in chicken and waffles and Southern cuisine. The Queens, New York rapper attended the chain’s one-year anniversary of the Lower East Side location.
“Extending the Empire! New Patnaz! NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND! Me & my Bro about to FLIP THESE BIRDS!!” Nas says on Instagram with a picture of Sweet Chick owner John Seymour.
The restaurant also has a Brooklyn location. Seymour is planning on expanding by adding a third New York restaurant and possibly reaching the West Coast, according to Hip Hop Wired.
“As we continue to grow and develop the Sweet Chick brand, we want to align with partners and artists that understand what we represent,” Seymour says via press release. “When conceptualizing Sweet Chick, we understood the history of chicken and waffles and wanted to have an amazing product while paying homage to its roots within the music community of NYC. Music has played a huge part in defining who we are and with Nas (my favorite rapper) on board, it’s a dream come true and we can truly move forward with a ‘NY state of Mind’ and introduce Sweet Chick to a bigger audience.”

I love some chicken and southern food but it’s too many of these type of restaurants in the market. And didn’t he make a song about the dangers of fried food (“Fried Chicken”)??? Can’t ride with you on this one NaS.
1. The restaurant is amazing.
2. You need to re listen to “Fried Chicken” as you didn’t quite catch the true message.
First, this nigga puts out his untitled album trying to end racism and black stereotypes and shit, and now, he partnering with a soul food restaurant. Wasn’t there a song called “Fried Chicken” on that album, too? LOL, this nigga stays losing and making himself look like a clown.
Shut your RANCID mouth b4 I shut it for you #Tooth loss is not a good look homie
You’re the clown if you think a black man having a stake in a chicken restaurant is perpetuating racism. It is you who is doing this with your ignorant thoughts. Is a man in a free country supposed to ignore either his passion (in this example, if he really really loves chicken) or just forget about a lucrative business opportunity (if he just really really loves money) solely to appease ignorant folks like you? I would bet serious money that if someone were to ask if you were racist you would say no. The problem with that is; having an issue with something a human being does in a free society because it is stereotypically associated with their race…IS YOU BEING STEREOTYPICAL…not to mention hypocritical. You sir, are the problem.
You racist piece of shit.
On another note: if somebody like Nas is willing to invest in some stupid chicken I would guess it must be fuego. Anybody from the city eaten there? Would definitely be the longest trip I’ve ever taken for food.
How can I be racist? I am a white dude on a hip hop website. Hip hop is made by black people, like Jay Z, the only good black artist.
