Taco Bell has proposed a deal with 50 Cent asking him to change his name to either 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent for one day this summer. This promotional campaign is to promote TACO BELL’s “Why Pay More” value menu. Taco Bell Corp. President Greg Creed, who made the proposal in a letter written to 50 Cent’s agent, also wrote that his company would make a $10,000 donation to a charity of the New York native’s choice, if he accepts the request. As part of the deal, 50 Cent would also have to make an appearance at any Taco Bell location around the country he chooses and rap his order in the drive thru with his new name. 50 Cent wasn’t too thrilled with the offer however. 50 said “When my legal team is finished with them, Taco Bell is going to have a new corporate slogan: ‘We messed with the bull and got the horns’”.
Do you think he is being mean? or do you think the offer was a bit corny?
