Rick Ross Promoted ‘Thighstop’ Amid Tuna Controversy 

Rick Ross promoted ‘Thighstop’ on Instagram amid Subway controversy

The New York Times investigated ‘Subway,’ and as a result, it caused controversy around its tuna ingredient. The problem is–it lacks tuna. Subway told the New York Post, ‘DNA testing is simply not a reliable way to identify denatured proteins.’ A member of the DNA lab, where the testing was held, responded saying that tuna might be ‘so heavily processed that whatever we could pull out, we couldn’t make an identification.’

Making use of the opportunity, Rick Ross promoted another restaurant, Thighstop. On Instagram, he claimed ‘@thighstop winning’ since ‘our lemon pepper is lemon pepper.’ 

Ross’s relationship with the restaurant goes back to ‘Wingstop.’ A lover of the brand, he owns 25 ‘Wingstop’ franchises. According to Ross, Thighstop is the franchise’s solution to the ongoing wing shortage crisis. 

Ross has also participated in the restaurant’s marketing campaign. The rapper stated ‘Nah, we’re doing thighs.’ as a response to ‘Nobody moves more wings than the boss Rick Ross and Wingstop…now there’s a national wing shortage…done hustlin’?’ Commercial’s narrator voice also said that ‘The hustle continues.’
