A young woman, who is a content creator on TikTok, posted a video on 4 March 2026 with the caption:
"IT'S ASHANTE'S BIRTHDAY EVERYBODY MAKE SOME NOISE!!"
In the clip, the popular prankster walked up to the counter of a KFC restaurant. She approached the cashier and demanded a free order or treat because it was her birthday.
One employee eventually came out from the back and offered her a large gravy. She was not impressed. She then asked if she could at least get a birthday song. That request did not go much better.

People waiting in line started asking her to show her ID to prove it was actually her birthday. Others told her they were not going to sing. She turned to customers sitting down and eating, asking if anyone would join in. A few people eventually did start singing, but the song ended almost as quickly as it began.
She kept pushing, going from person to person, asking for a song or a treat, but most people either said no or simply ignored her. In the end, she walked away with nothing. There was no proper birthday song and no special treatment from KFC. The twist, unfortunately, was that it was not a prank at all. It really was her birthday.
