Beyoncé has dropped her latest tune Formation which includes racy lyric referencing seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster, with bated breath Twitter waited for Red Lobster’s response and alas it was terrible.
In the song, Queen Bey says: “When he fucks me good, I take his ass to Red Lobster, cause I slay.” Check out the banger here:
Getting name dropped by Beyoncé is the kind of exposure any brand would dream of, except Red Lobster. Twitter waited patiently for the chain’s response:

@yo_itsFrankie I don’t think its a black thing, I think its more about how long they waited. It was almost 10 hours later — xoNecole (@xonecole) February 7, 2016
.@redlobster @Beyonce Social media strategy: if this tweet was done during the #Formation firestorm, it’d get an okay. Hrs later? Nah.
