Filipinos are up in arms against American singer and record producer Benny Blanco for a TikTok video wherein he dissed Jollibee food products.
Jollibee is one of Filipinos’ favorite fast food brands.
In his video titled “my first time trying jollibee,” Blanco said, “All right guys, it’s nighttime. Work’s over. I may or may not have just…And it’s time to try some f–ng Jollibee. I’ve never f-ng had them in my life.”

“Now, a lot of you might not even know this, but my stepmom’s from the Philippines, so I grew up eating in the sh–tload of Filipino food, so let’s see what we got here,” he said in the video, which has 3.7 million views as of this writing.
Blanco’s stepmom is a Filipino and he has three step siblings. He is the boyfriend of Selena Gomez.
He tasted Jollibee’s fried chicken, adobo rice, spaghetti and pineapple juice
He tried the adobo rice, which he said, “Look at this dry-ass adobo rice. Sorry, this dry-ass adobo rice. Tastes like b-tt.”
Blanco then tasted the ChickenJoy which he dipped in gravy. He said, “Okay, Jollibee. Okay. Let me tell you one thing. I really think the gravy is just tricking me. Chicken’s not even that good. Gravy-spired chicken is actually kinda soggy as f-ck.”
He drank the pineapple juice and said, “Hello, Mr. Pineapple.” He then dipped the fried chicken in the pineapple juice and ate it, saying, “Bad idea.”
Blanco opened the spaghetti tray and said, “What the f-ck is this. All right, this sh-t smells like f—ng vomit. It’s spaghetti with, like, little hotdogs in it and like cheese. What the f-ck? Let me get a fork.”
He started eating the spaghetti and spat it on the spaghetti tray.
“I feel like that just ruined my night. Ew, Jollibee, ew!” he said.
Blanco also dissed the Jollibee fries.
“All right, look at these limp-d-ck ass fries. I can’t I can’t even try this. Are you f–king kidding? Look, it’s not all they’re all limp-d-ck,” he said.
After the fries, he ate the Jollibee peach mango pie.
“You f-cked up with the spaghetti, Jollibee. You made my phone fall down. It’s good [peach mango pie] but, like, don’t go to Jollibee. This sh-t sucks,” he said.
His video has garnered more than 13,000 comments.
Here are some of them:
– “You wrong for this, I’m ready for Bretman to cuss you out”
