Doja Cat and Dolly Parton will appear in a new TikTok musical for Taco Bell about the chain’s famous Mexican pizza.
Mexican Pizza: The Musical will air on the social media site on May 26 to mark the return to the fast-food chain’s menu of a discontinued and much-loved item in the past.
Doja Cat has been a prominent supporter of Mexican pizza and wrote a “contractual” rap for Taco Bell in 2020 when the item was removed from the menu. “I’ll finish you off if you ever dare to interrupt,” he rapped in the jingle, adding, “It’s not even Mexican food. “
