J. Balvin’s getting happy.

The Colombian musician now has his very own special at McDonald’s based on his favorite order. The meal comes with a Big Mac, medium fries with ketchup and, curveball, an Oreo McFlurry. The order is on sale starting Monday through Nov. 1 in the US.

Customers who purchase “The J. Balvin Meal” as an offer on the McDonald’s App will receive the Oreo McFlurry for free, according to a statement from the fast-food chain. Prices vary at different locations.

 

The reggaeton superstar, 35, is the latest celeb to get their own dedicated meals at fast-food chains, including rapper Travis Scott’s so-called “Travy Patties” at McDonald’s and TikTok star Charli D’Amelio’s Dunkin’ special.

After Scott’s meal hit counters, the order quickly sold out, leading to a tragic burger shortage at the fast-food chain.

“As a longtime McDonald’s fan, I am excited to join the short list of global icons who have had a meal named in their honor,” Balvin said in a statement. “I am looking forward to sharing my signature order with my fans, along with more surprises that are to come with this partnership. ¡Lego!”

Balvin tweeted the news Monday to his 8.6 million followers.

Since making a big splash with 2013’s “La Familia,” Balvin — whose J stands for José — has been spreading plenty of hip-swerving happiness with hits such as 2017’s international smash “Mi Gente” (“My People”), winning four Latin Grammys along the way.

In 2018, he crossed over to the top of the US pop charts with “I Like It,” his No. 1 single with Cardi B and Bad Bunny, and made a guest appearance during Beyoncé’s epic Coachella takeover to perform their “Mi Gente” remix.
