The ad, which features Blige singing soulfully about chicken wraps, was criticized by some members of the black community, who claimed the ad played on stereotypes. One website called it “buffoonery.”
David Beckham, Jay Leno, Steven Tyler and Salma Hayek are among the other celebrities fronting ads for the fast food chain, which is trying to revamp its image after a few years of cryptic male oriented ads that resulted in dismal sales.
Burger King is actually citing music licensing issues, not criticism of the ad, for the decision to pull it, assuring that in fact they plan to the spot back on the air soon.

Budweiser Raises A (Beer) Glass For International Women’s Day With Re-Imagined Ads
The brand tackles old gender stereotypes with new versions of their 1950’s ads.
As part of International Women’s Day, Budweiser has adapted their own old ads, once portraying women as housewives serving their husbands and reworked them into a more modern point of view.
Appearing in the pages of The New York Times, Chicago Tribune or L.A. Times today, the ads still look like the colorful, retro pages of a newspaper from the 1950s, but instead of serving the beer, they’re enjoying it themselves.
Beyond commemorating International Women’s Day, the brand is also a partner with #SeeHer, an industry effort to improve how women are portrayed across all advertising.
