Written by SOURCE on May 10, 2019
Chance the Rapper has been a huge advocate for Wendy’s recently, kickstarting a campaign to bring back their spicy chicken nuggets. However, not everyone is a fan of his enthusiasm for Wendy’s. Amy Schumer posted about her disappointment in Chance on Instagram.
“Hey! We love @chancetherapper and hate to be the ones to tell him that Wendy’s is the only fast food chain refusing to protect farmworker women from sexual assault and rape in the fields,” she wrote in her Instagram post, which featured a picture of her at a pediatrician. “Please read that sentence again. Message for the people in charge: Instead of spicy nuggets, we want food that is harvest with dignity NOT violence.”
She added that she hopes that Chance and many others will join her in boycotting Wendy’s, providing a link to do so in her bio. “Also we are having a boy,” she continued. Days later she gave birth to her first son, Gene Attell Fischer.
Wendy’s recently responded to Chance’s calls on Twitter by announcing they were bringing back spicy chicken nuggets, however they urged their followers to get their tweet to 2 million likes first. Schumer has repeatedly urged Wendy’s to join the Fair Food Program, which advocates for better standards on those in the farming industry.
