A musician says Chipotle tried to pay him $250,000 to cover the Backstreet Boys - and his response is going viral

When Chipotle tried to sell burritos with a folksy version of a '90s hit, one musician wasn't interested.

Father John Misty (real name: Josh Tillman) revealed that Chipotle offered him $250,000 to cover the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way," Consequence of Sound reports.

"I was like, 'Cool, so then I can just buy like two Cadillacs and just crash them together,'" Tillman said while preforming at the Newport Folk Festival on Saturday. "I don't want your f---ing burrito money."

Tillman took to Twitter to clarify the comment was focused on concern regarding the commercialization of folk music.

Meanwhile, Tillman's speech - specifically his rejection of "burrito money" - blew up on Twitter.

Chipotle eventually made the ad - a heartstring-tugging story heavy on animation and light on Chipotle branding - with an 'I Want It That Way' cover by My Morning Jacket's Jim James and Alabama Shakes' Brittany Howard.
