Nando’s has honoured Stormzy with his very own burger after he reached out on Twitter.

The popular food chain proved that they’re as accommodating as ever as they made a joke addition to their menu for the South London Grime artist.

Clearly impressed with his handy work in the kitchen, the MC posted a picture of his own burger made out of grilled halloumi and garlic bread over the weekend.

He tweeted the restaurant to say: “Nandos 101: Halloumi cheese & garlic bread is a burger in itself. Need to going that on the menu @NandosUK.”

Nando’s responded to the rapper to say that they’d added his concoction to the menu, writing: “voilà.”

They then posted a picture of a mocked-up menu with the ‘#MERKY Burger’ at the top of the list.
