Justin Bieberdoesn’t appear to love that chicken from Popeyes.
The “Never Say Never” singer, 25, finally tasted the fast-food company’s super-popular (andsuper sold-out)Popeyes Chicken Sandwichon Thursday night, and revealed to his 121 million followers on Instagram that it didn’t live up to expectations.
“It’s good but it’s not worth the hype,” Bieber said, sharing a video to his Instagram Stories of the sandwich after a few bites.
Bieber had picked up three sandwiches to sample and said, “I gotta see what all this hype is about.”
He continued, “All this hype on the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich, let me see what we got here.”
And although he was ultimately unimpressed with the famous sandwich, he did love one thing from the Louisiana kitchen.
“Sweet tea’s bangin’ though,” Bieber said.

Last month, Popeyestweeted a videoto announce that the sandwich would permanently return starting Sunday, November 3.
They made sure to note that they’ll be “Open Sunday,” unlike their competitor Chick-fil-A, which is always closed for business on Sundays.
Upon the long-awaited chicken sandwich’s return, it continued to make headlines.
On Monday, at a Popeyes location in Maryland, a fight erupted over the sandwich and left one adult male dead after he was brutally stabbed.
