Mary J. Blige says Burger King ran with the chicken wraps ad before it was ready to be seen! Mary told TMZ, she “agreed to be a part of a fun and creative campaign that was supposed to feature a dream sequence, unfortunately, that’s not what was happening in that clip.”
The ad drew tons of criticism on Twitter for playing off a stereotype about African-Americans and chicken.
Mary also says, “I understand my fans being upset by what they saw. But, if you’re a Mary fan, you have to know I would never allow an unfinished spot like the one you saw to go out.”
Burger King says the final, approved version will be released “soon.”
