TORONTO, CA., Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Frank’s RedHot is the #1 hot sauce brand in the world* and its turning the Big Game into a full-blown flavour showcase with “Eat The GOAT,” a new campaign starring hip-hop legend Chris “Ludacris” Bridges. The spot blends beats, heat, and humour in a way only Frank’s RedHot can—where the GOAT of hot sauce meets one of hip-hop’s GOATs to prove that flavour always headlines the show.

“Eat The GOAT” takes the most iconic acronym in hip-hop and sports culture (Greatest Of All Time) and flips it into something fans can actually do: eat it. The creative drops fans into a high-energy watch party hosted by Ludacris, featuring a surprise cameo from party guest Chingy alongside DJ Infamous, Shawnna, and I-20, plus an unexpected rapping goat that takes over the spot’s playful misdirection as the life of the party.

In the campaign’s original raps, recipes turn into rhymes, dropping lines about saucy wings, cheesy dips, and the perfect flavour-to-heat ratio that only the GOAT delivers. Each verse celebrates the way Frank’s turns up everyday eats. From a fridge stocked with Frank’s to wings spinning on turntables and an over-the-top spread of game day favourites, the creative captures how fans celebrate: packed living rooms, stacked plates, and food that hits as hard as the hype when The GOAT of hot sauce is in the house.

“Frank’s RedHot is more than a sauce—it’s a flavour anthem that brings people together over mic-dropping food,” said Tabata Gomez, CMO of McCormick & Company, Inc. “We’re thrilled to team up with Ludacris to turn up the flavour with Frank’s RedHot and inspire fans everywhere to ‘Eat The GOAT.’”
