Beyonce's Explicit Lyric Boosts Seafood Chain

By Sky News US Team

An explicit lyric in Beyonce's new song, about going to Red Lobster after sex, has boosted the US seafood restaurants' fortunes.

The Orlando-based chain says it is certain the artist's new single, Formation, is responsible for at least part of its 33% sales jump on Sunday from a year ago.

"When he **** me good I take his a** to Red Lobster," the singer - dubbed Queen Bey - raps in the song, which was released on Saturday morning.

The chain was a trending topic on Twitter over the weekend for the first time ever.

Red Lobster chief executive Kim Lopdrup said in a statement: "It's clear that Beyonce has helped create some Red Lobster fans, and we are very grateful to her for that."
