Nicki Minaj gets honored with another Rap Snacks chip flavor.
Following the success of her single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” food company Rap Snacks, announced Nocho Nachos tortilla chips, inspired by the song’s lyrics.
The company made the announcement via Instagram writing, Mad that they nachos!!’ Introducing the all-new Nicki Minaj Nocho Nachos. Rap Snacks!!! Are you ready for the next queen drop?! Nicki Minaj. Barbz. ‘Red Ruby Da Sleeze.’”
According to a preview of the chips that was posted online, the taste will blend sour cream, ranch, and nacho cheese into a single flavor.
“Nicki Minaj is unquestionably one of the most disruptive forces in the history of rap,” Rap Snacks CEO James Lindsay said in a statement last year. “You’re talking about a woman who rewrote the rules of hip-hop culture and happens to be a phenomenal entrepreneur, as well. It just makes sense that as a brand disrupting the snack industry, we align to push the bar even further. This is the beginning of a legendary partnership.”
Last year, Rap Snacks released a new “Barbie-que Honey Truffle” flavor inspired by the New York rapper. A few months later, Mattel sued the company for allegedly infringing on its Barbie trademark.
“The association is so evident that upon seeing the packaging, representatives for Defendant’s celebrity partner queried whether Rap Snacks had obtained permission from Mattel,” the complaint reads. “Indeed, Rap Snacks never requested or received any such permission.”
