Megan Thee Stallion has been in utmost demand this year, from her Hot Girl Summer Tour to hosting next week’s 2024 MTV VMAs.

But, according to Meg, she’s only just arrived.

“ATTENTION HOTTIES,” Megan Thee Stallion captioned an Instagram post on Thursday morning, September 5. “WE ARE OFFICIALLY FAMOUS WE GOT A PEPSI COMMERCIAL.”

Yes, Pepsi and Paramount Global partnered for a brand new commercial blending Paramount’s forthcoming Gladiator II and the 2024 NFL season.

The three-minute spot begins with actors Jake Lacy and Lamorne Morris bragging about their respective fantasy teams. Then, we’re taken inside of their freshly served Pepsi can, which transforms into a Roman Coliseum. Travis Kelce, Josh Allen, Derrick Henry, and Justin Jefferson stalk out dressed as gladiators. Kelce, always hogging the spotlight, screams, “Are you ready?!” Megan Thee Stallion interrupts him to unleash tigers into the Coliseum and starts singing her unique spin on Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”

According to Variety, this ad will run until Gladiator II premieres on November 22.

“Megan Thee Stallion is going to get people to pay attention; Travis Kelce and Josh Allen are going to get people to pay attention,” Paramount President Of Advertising John Halley told the publication. “It’s a first-class branding moment for Pepsi and one that is going to last.”

The new NFL season begins on Thursday night with the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Baltimore Ravens. The game will kick off at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock.

Latest On Titans Star Derrick Henry Trade Rumors

by

Derrick Henry has been the face of the Tennessee Titans franchise since joining the team. The former Alabama running back has made a career out of his physical running out of the backfield. However, the career of a running back isn’t necessarily a long one. Running backs have to deal with the physical impact of nearly every play. So, the decision on when a team must decide to make a move at running back can sometimes be a difficult one. But for the Titans, that decision doesn’t even seem to be on the radar.

Titans GM Ran Carthon spoke to the media recently on the rumors that the Titans could be dealing Henry. Carthon didn’t waste any time with his response. The Titans GM says the team is not dealing Henry and have not received any calls for the All-Pro running back. According to Ari Meirov, Carthorn also shut down rumors of the team dealing other stars. “We also were apparently trading Jeffery Simmons at one point, and during that entire period, we were negotiating his deal.”

Titans Not Ready To Move On From Derrick Henry

Henry hasn’t given the team any reason to look at moving the former Pro Bowl running back. Last season, Henry carried the ball 349 times. Which is the second most carries in all of his career. Henry also rushed for over 1,500 yards and found the endzone on the ground 13 different times. The Titans offense will unquestionably involve a heavy dose of Henry during next season. But the team still will be looking to improve on the offensive side of the ball.

Even with Henry, the Titans failed to make the post-season last year. The Jaguars defeated the Titans in the regular season finale for the AFC South crown and the final playoff spot. The Jaguars are a young team who seemingly looks to be ahead of schedule. While the Titans window is quickly closing. Do you think the Titans should deal Derrick Henry?
