Kanye West's favorite restaurant is McDonald's, according to the rapper. But, West's obsession with fast food goes far beyond a single burger chain.

On Sunday, West tweeted: "McDonald's is my favorite restaurant".

The declaration should come as no surprise for people familiar with West. In 2016, the rapper tweeted: "McDonalds is my favorite brand." It stands to reason that the chain is also West's favorite restaurant.

West also penned a poem in 2016 called "The McDonald's Man" in a magazine written to accompany Frank Ocean's sophomore album,"Blonde."

Here are a couple of lines:

"McDonalds, damnThem french fries look good thoI knew the Diet Coke was jealous of the friesI knew the McNuggets was jealous of the friesEven the McRib was jealous of the friesI could see it through his artificial meat eyes"

While McDonald's may be West's favorite restaurant, it is not the only chain the rapper appreciates. In fact, when it comes to financial investments, West has bet on McDonald's burger rivals.

In 2016, rapper Schoolboy Q released a new song called'THat Part,' which featured Kanye West, who dropped in a line about Chipotle:

"Beggars can't be chooser, b----, this ain't Chipotle," raps West.

The line providedsome of the best social media marketingthat Chipotle had experienced in the aftermath of the E. coli scandal, and it didn't cost the burrito chain a penny. West has been a dedicated Chipotle customer sinceat least 2007,when he introduced fellow hip-hop artist Big Sean to the chain.

West has also name-dropped Ruby Tuesdays, Fridays, and a Burger King slogan — all in a single line.

"Says she want diamonds, I took her to Ruby Tuesdays, If we up in Fridays, I still have it my way," he rapped in his 2005 track "Gone,"notes Genius.

Appreciation for fast food also runs in West's family.

West's father, Ray West, foundedthe Good Water Store and Cafein Lexington Park, Maryland, in 2006. Meanwhile, the Kardashians haveserious sway in the world of fast food. In 2016, McDonald's sent Kim gift cards and aGivenchy walletafter the star wrote a blog post about her favorite fast-food menu items.
