Plant-based chicken company, Daring Foods Inc., has announced it secured a $40 million investment to dramatically scale its rapid retail and foodservice growth and one of the backers is Canadian rapper Drake.

The investment follows incredible demand for alt-protein options as the global plant-based chicken category is projected to reach $8 billion by 2030, according to a Future Market Insights report.

Drake follows a vegetarian diet.

Back in 2018, Drake told viewers he was no longer consuming meat during a live stream on social media platform Twitch. That same year, he took to Instagram to suggest that he had dropped animal products.

By investing in Darings Foods, he joins a growing list of celebrities including Robert Downey Jr., Serena Williams and Jay Z rooting for meat alternatives.

I was immediately drawn to the Daring teams mission to transform how we eat and I am excited to invest in and support a product I enjoy, Drake told the Beet of his decision to invest in the company.
