Grammy-winning singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter‘s new “Formation” song reportedly helped seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster some big bucks since its release.
According to reports, Red Lobster received a 33 percent increase in sales since Queen Bey’s song arrived last weekend.
The chain said sales were up 33% on Sunday over the previous year, thanks to a lyric in the new track that suggests using Red Lobster’s food as a reward for sex.
Red Lobster spokesperson Erica Ettori said the brand was mentioned on Twitter 42,000 times in a single hour and trended for the first time in history. (CNN)

On the new tune, Bey gives the seafood hot spot a tasty shoutout.
“When he f*ck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster, cause I slay/When he f*ck me good I take his a** to Red Lobster, cause I slay/If he hit it right, I might take him on a flight on my chopper, cause I slay” (“Formation”)
