Burger King Says Goodbye To El Xokas Amid Fiery Backlash

Burger King Parts Ways with Controversial Streamer

Barcelona is buzzing as Burger King Spain officially calls off its collaboration with the notorious YouTuber El Xokas. The brand has swiftly removed his menu from the Grand King campaign following a firestorm of backlash provoked by his recent remarks.

The latest uproar began during a live stream where El Xokas boasted about earning "more in one Burger King promotion" than his parents had in two decades, igniting fierce criticism. The public outcry pushed the fast-food giant to distance itself, with a statement declaring the streamer’s comments "in no way represent the values" of Burger King, and extending apologies to anyone offended.

“Burger King has no room for values that don't align with ours,” the company stated in a social media post.

The brand plans to proceed with the campaign featuring more positive influencers like Marta Díaz, Marina Rivers, and Peldanyos.

El Xokas Under Fire for More Than Just One Incident

El Xokas, already a magnet for controversy, hasn't been keeping a low profile. His comments on actress Ester Expósito during a Twitch session stirred another storm. The YouTuber dismissed her for her "political thinking," and suggested it was better to be with "a 6," placing his partner, streamer Zeling, "a thousand times above." Such remarks drew a sharp response from former minister Irene Montero, who mocked his statement about Expósito, and accused him of objectifying women.

Things didn't stop there. El Xokas also shared a shocking photomontage showing Spanish footballer Mikel Oyarzabal with the body of Adolf Hitler after a match against France, bringing another tidal wave of criticism his way. This series of blunders has not only put him in the media spotlight but also cost him key commercial deals.

Burger King's decision to part ways with El Xokas marks a significant shift, as the brand draws a clear line between its values and those of the controversial influencer.
