A recent video featuring American record producer Benny Blanco reviewing food from the popular Filipino chain, Jollibee, sparked backlash online.

The video featured him trying several items from the fast-food joint and commenting on each of them. Blanco made negative remarks about the fried chicken, rice, french fries, and the drinks by the company and was also seen dipping the chicken into his drink, which did not sit well with netizens.

The viral video also saw Blanco tasting the fried chicken and adobo rice, which he called "dry" and said it "tastes like bu*t." Following this, he opened up the spaghetti and said it smelled like "vomit" as he covered his nose and gave the camera a glimpse of his food. He then grabbed a fork and tasted the food before he spat it out, saying:

“I feel like that just ruined my night. Ew, it's like... Ew, Jollibee, ew."

Netizens believed he was being "disrespectful" and took to the comments section of @officebarbies' tweet to react to the clip after it went viral online. They stated that while it was alright not to like the food, it was not okay to disrespect it.
