The new packaging is the total opposite of the original bright yellow and red boxes we’re used to and takes on a more subtle color palette similar to what we see in Kanye’s Yeezy collection.

People online have been sharing their thoughts on the re-design, with many calling the packaging “futuristic.”

However, some aren’t too impressed…

One Facebook user wrote: “McDonald’s needs to just look the other way he’s a trainwreck who can barely dress himself let alone design a wrapper.”

An Instagram user also commented, saying: “Gotta say though, Ye making his Instagram return with a post about McDonald’s was not what I was expecting for his comeback lol,” referring to his 24-hour ban after he hit out at Kim and Pete Davidson.

This post is Kanye’s first since his suspension from Instagram in March for what TMZ reports was a violation of the social media site’s terms of service…

Meta shared that Kanye’s comments contained hate speech, harassment, and bullying.
