Red Lobster’s Response To Beyoncé’s Shoutout Was Depressing
Beyoncé brought Red Lobster back to relevance by mentioning them in her newest song titled, “Formation.”
Queen Bey sings in the song:
“When he f*ck me good, I take his ass to Red Lobster.”
Even though the lyrics are a bit explicit, Red Lobster had to be stoked that they pretty much got free PR in the form of a memorable lyric from one of the most popular music artists of this generation.
They showed that they were excited, but in a bit of a delayed response, the best the restaurant’s Twitter account could come up with was, “‘Cheddar Bey Biscuits’ has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?”

This might explain things:
Regardless of the response, it just reminds us that their biscuits really are amazing and we probably should pay a visit to the old Lobster.
