The premise of the ad’s narrative goes Malaysians’ most favourite delicacies are personified as popular rappers and battle it out to be called the ultimate favourite Raya food. 

For example, the famous dish Nasi Lemak becomes ‘Nasi Menaj’, a quirky jab at the famous rapper Nicki Minaj. But she is only rapper no. 4. Others that can be seen playing it in Yoodo’s rap battle are Kendrick Lemang, KeTupac Syukur, Post Malontong, Sotorious B.I.G., and Dr. Drendang. 

“As Malaysians indulge in a mouth-watering spread of savoury delicacies this festive occasion, Yoodo is bringing to the party their witty Rap Off Hidangan Raya music video featuring some of the fiercest and finest ‘rappers’ who will slay with their slick rhymes, smooth flow and rapid-fire beats as they battle it out,” said the digital mobile service that is powered by Celcom. 

Head of Yoodo Chow Tuck Mun shared that with the new Raya ad, they wanted to infuse the brand’s cheeky DNA into the rap battle by adding a twist to the Malaysian favourite Raya dishes highly debated as the ‘best’.
