About

Closed On Sunday, You're My Chick-fil-A is a lyric from Kanye West's ninth studio album, Jesus Is King. The lyric was heavily mocked for the metaphor, both because of its awkwardness and the fact that Chick-fil-A, a fast-food restaurant that is closed on Sundays because of founder's Truett Cathy's Christian faith, has been vocally anti-LGBTQ in the past.

Origin

Jesus Is King released October 25th, 2019. On the song "Closed on Sunday," Kanye West sings the line "Closed on Sunday / you're my Chick-fil-A / You're my number 1 / with the lemonade."

The lyric was immediately noticed by listeners, bewildering fans and critics alike. Twitter user @coolMAFgames[2] tweeted the lyric, asking, "How many delayed dates and scrapped albums for this bullshit?", gaining over 1,800 retweets and 8,200 likes (shown below, top). User @TriggaCityNole gained over 870 retweets and 3,200 likes posting a GIF of a person getting thrown into a garbage bin (shown below, bottom).



Others were disappointed that West had shouted out Chick-fil-A, as Chick-fil-A has come out against gay marriage. Twitter users @lil_paddington and @Buppkis expressed this opinion (shown below), and the opinions were covered by Hiphopdx.[1] Other jokes were covered by Cheezburger[2] and Paper Magazine.[3]

me wa ster @Buppkis kanye west is such a douche. glorifying chik-fil-a and trump while putting on a christian persona to sell his merchandise because society thinks christian = good person who can do no wrong. if you genuinely like his music that's fine but f----- christ, he enables awful behavior Twitter Web App 12:18 AM Oct 26, 2019 4
