Megan Thee Stallion Connects With Twice For Colorful K-pop Crossover “Strategy”

by

If you follow Megan The Stallion, you know how much of a fan she is of other cultures. That’s especially true when it comes to Japan. While K-pop super group TWICE hails from South Korea, the Houston rapper isn’t going to turn an opportunity to work with them because of that. That’s exactly what’s going on this weekend, as they have just dropped off “Strategy,” the opener and title track from TWICE’s 14th (!) mini album. If you aren’t familiar, they one of the most popular K-pop groups, with BLACKPINK and BTS maybe the only ones ahead of them.

They are known for songs like “What is Love?” “FANCY,” “The Feels,” and “I CAN’T STOP ME.” “Strategy” could very well join these tracks as one of their most beloved, though, because it’s extremely catchy. It’s got this cute charm and colorful personality about it that just works. The producers really made a winning instrumental by including various instruments and sound effects that are all perfectly placed in the mix. Also selling the record for us are the pre-chorus, chorus, and refrain. It’s a very empowering girl anthem about getting a man to fall of them under their own strategy. Megan also has a playful and animated verse on the backend that ties things together quite nicely. Once you hear, you will get addicted. Trust us, we are speaking from firsthand experience.

“Strategy” – Twice & Megan Thee Stallion

Quotable Lyrics:

Do you like that? (Huh?)
When I smack it and you watch it bounce it right back?
He really lost it when he saw me do the right, left (Hmm)
I’m a man eater, you are just a light snack (Baow)
I got him pressed like he’s workin’ on his triceps (Hmm)
I’m a flirt, I’m a tease, they be hurt after me

TWICE And Megan Thee Stallion Detail Their ‘Strategy’ For Bagging A Crush In A Colorful New Video

by

Megan Thee Stallion adds yet another K-pop collaboration to her growing collection, teaming up with rising nine-member girl group, TWICE, for “Strategy.” In the colorful video, the girls visit a shooting range, where they detail their plans for making a crush fall in love with them. Megan joins in to add some hot girl flavor to their scheme, dancing and rapping on a rooftop before joining TWICE a photo studio for another dance session.

Megan’s first K-pop collab came in 2021, when BTS tapped the beleaguered Houston rapper for the remix of their hit song, “Butter,” after edging her out for No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The song almost didn’t come out after her previous label, with which she was engaged in a legal dispute at the time, tried to block its release. But after clearing that hurdle, she has gone all-in, reuniting with BTS’ RM earlier this year for “Neva Play,” which became the official theme song for WWE’s Friday Night Smackdown show.

Meanwhile, TWICE is celebrating their own No. 1 debut with the release of their 13th EP, With YOU-th, this March. They continued to make inroads to America’s mainstream with a headlining performance on Amazon Music Live last month.

Megan Thee Stallion Producer Disses Spotify For Paying Artists “The Least”

by

Megan Thee Stallion and LilJuMadeDaBeat are a winning combination. The rapper and producer have teamed up to make smash hits like “Body,” “Big Ole Freak” and “Thot Sh*t” among others. They know what it takes to push a song, and reap the benefits of a massive global fanbase. Megan was listed as being among the most streamed female rappers on Spotify. Fans were thrilled, but the rapper’s producer was less so. He actually took to social media to criticize Spotify’s practices.

LilJuMadeDaBeat voiced his frustration with the streaming platform. He urged fans to listen to Megan Thee Stallion’s music on other platforms, due to the sharp difference in terms of how much the artists get paid. “I hate that y’all actually use Spotify instead of literally ANY other streaming service,” he wrote. “They pay us the least.” LilJuMadeDaBeat is far from the first artist to criticize Spotify practices. Noname previously urged fans to hold the platform accountable for how little it pays artists. Then, of course, there is Drake, who plans to file a lawsuit against Spotify for using “schemes” to boost Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” numbers.

Megan Thee Stallion Was Recently Involved In A Spotify Scandal

Megan Thee Stallion and LilJuMadeDaBeat have actually been involved in similar confusion regarding Spotify numbers. The former was accused of buying 30 million streams to boost the numbers for her self-titled album. No Jumper claimed that the same number of streams were removed from her album when it came time to count first week sales, which led to her album being repositioned on the charts. Many fans came to Megan’s defense, however, claiming that the bots that made up the additional streams were out of her control.

Megan Thee Stallion and LilJuMadeDaBeat have also had to contend with a lawsuit from Plies. The veteran rapper accused them of sampling his song “Me & My Goons” without giving proper credit. LilJu responded to the lawsuit via social media. He pointed out that the Megan Thee Stallion song “Wanna Be” actually sampled another song that was properly credited. “Big E the producer of ‘My Dougie’ credited on ‘Wanna Be,’” the producer tweeted. LilJuMadeDaBeat also noted that the original sample came out two years before Plies’ song.

TWICE & Megan Thee Stallion Have A New Video On The Way

by

After a phenomenal 2024, Megan Thee Stallion and TWICE will close the year with a soon-to-be international smash in their new collaboration, “Strategy,” previewed on Sunday (Dec. 1). The K-pop powerhouse teased the collaboration on Sunday (Dec. 1) with a 16-second preview of the music video, which will debut on Friday (Dec. 6). The snippet highlights TWICE’s sleek choreography intercut with shots of Megan commanding the scene, holding a rhinestone-encrusted megaphone. The teaser includes a snippet of Megan Thee Stallion’s verse.

She raps: “Talk with my body, that’s my strategy / Other girls tryin’, but I’m really hard to beat / He’ll be mine off my strategy, my strategy, strategy.” “Strategy” marks Megan and TWICE’s second team-up. They previously collaborated on the remix of her viral hit “Mamushi,” replacing Japanese artist Yuki Chiba with the K-pop group. The track originally appeared on Megan’s project MEGAN: ACT II. The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard charts.

TWICE & Megan Thee Stallion Tease “Strategy” Music Video

With “Strategy” on the horizon and a banner year behind her, Megan Thee Stallion continues to redefine her artistry, proving she’s as multifaceted as she is unstoppable. Her ability to merge worlds—from hip-hop to K-pop—ensures her reign remains both dynamic and enduring. Reflecting on her prolific year, Megan told Vogue, “I have the freedom to say whatever I want and put something out whenever I feel like it. That’s why I could release two projects in one year. I can wake up tomorrow and decide to do it all over again.” Her creative independence has not only fueled her output but has also cemented her as a boundary-pushing artist.

2024 also saw the release of Megan’s deeply personal documentary, Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words, on Amazon Prime Video. The film chronicles the Grammy winner’s journey through fame, grief, and resilience, including pivotal moments such as the heartbreaking loss of her mother and manager, Holly Thomas.

Megan Thee Stallion Ends Her Year On Social Media With One Last Twerking Session

by

Megan Thee Stallion decided to end this year off with a bang. Her final Instagram post of 2024 will apparently be a new twerking vid that she uploaded on Wednesday night (November 27), and as such, it seems like Meg will take a break from the online space for Thanksgiving and the rest of the holiday season, although we doubt that it will be a complete drought as there’s still a lot to promote, celebrate, show off, and announce. But we also understand the Houston femcee wanting to separate from the Internet. She’s had a busy year: two projects, a Nicki Minaj beef, more Tory Lanez drama, and plenty of other developments.

For example, Megan Thee Stallion sued YouTube Milagro Gramz for allegedly spreading misinformation about the Tory Lanez case. “Plaintiff is suggesting here that merely liking, linking to, or talking about an online post regarding a public figure is a criminal offense,” Gramz’s lawyers wrote in their petition to dismiss the lawsuit.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Last IG Post Of 2024

“Rather than rebut the allegations online, Plaintiff chose to use the Courts to intimidate and silence the Defendant from exercising her First Amendment rights to publish her opinions and beliefs and also to serve as a warning to other critics that if the Plaintiff does not like what you say about her, you will likely have to deal with a federal lawsuit,” the motion against Megan Thee Stallion claims. “This is evidenced by Plaintiff’s Complaint, which reads more like a press release than a legal document. Defendant submits that that Plaintiff’s Complaint which is buttressed on dubious legal claims and irrelevant and impertinent allegations that at best only tangentially relate to the Plaintiff, fails to state a cause of action under Florida law and should be DISMISSED.”

Meanwhile, new drops like the music video for “Roc Steady” ensure that Megan Thee Stallion will stick around in 2024. This social media break won’t stop the news. Plus, fans will continue to enjoy her music until her next move manifests. Maybe the first twerking vid of 2025 will come with a big announcement. We’ll see what’s on the way…

Megan Thee Stallion Has A Murderous ‘Hottie Homecoming’ In Her New ‘Roc Steady’ Video With Flo Milli

by

Megan Thee Stallion is about a month removed from the release of Megan: Act II, a reissue of June’s Megan that adds new tracks. Among them is the Flo Milli-featuring “Roc Steady,” for which Meg just unveiled a new video today (November 27).

Ahead of the video came a teaser that packed a lot of exposition into ten seconds. It started with newspaper headlines reading “Murders At RSH School,” “3 Students Found Dead,” “Mysterious Bite Marks,” and “No Suspects Found.” We then get some shorts of a “Hottie Homecoming” event in a school gymnasium, including some of Meg as a cheerleader. Indeed, that’s generally what’s going on in the full video.

Meg previously explained on X (formerly Twitter) of the song’s creation, “I called Flo milli to thee studio and she kicked me and the engineer out the room for like 45 min [laughing emoji] and when I came back in I was shooookkkk.” Flo responded, “lmaooo chill i was shy [laughing emojis] can’t let nobody see my crazy side [crying emoji] we got the job done tho.”

“Roc Steady” arrived after Meg and Flo worked together on a remix of Latto’s “Sunday Service.” Meanwhile, the new video isn’t Flo’s biggest reveal of the past few days, as she just announced she’s pregnant.

Watch the “Roc Steady” video above.

Milagro Gramz Eviscerates Joe Budden For Speaking On Megan Thee Stallion’s Lawsuit Against Her

by

Milagro Gramz is tired of people talking about her without doing their proper research, or at least, that’s what she’s accusing Joe Budden of. The YouTuber recently took to Instagram Live and blasted the podcaster for talking about her legal battle with Megan Thee Stallion.

“So to sit up and to try to bring me up like you got a leg to stand on is crazy,” Milagro Gramz jabbed at Joe Budden. “I could see if you had a difference of opinion, and you was coming at me. But babe, you block people who don’t laugh. And I block people who waste my time, just like you. Look at you, blocked. And I’ma block some more h*es if I feel like it. So I’m just confused as to why he feels the need to do that. Okay, second of all – But I already know why. This the hate train era?

Milagro Gramz Blasts Joe Budden For Bringin Up Megan Thee Stallion Drama

“So anyway, then he decides to bring me up, you know, off the tail end of Tasha K,” Milagro Gramz continued concerning Joe Budden. “I have an issue with something that Tasha K said about me in the past. I did not like it, it was a full-fledged lie. She owes me an apology. I’ve stood on that for years. […] So I moved on with my life. […] That ain’t stop me from interacting with her because there are stories to be told and there’s different things to talk about. But do I have an active issue with Tasha K? No. It’s as simple as what I said it was. She owes me an apology. It’s a lot of s**t that I could get over with some acknowledgement. ‘Cause it’s all about principles in the first place for me. So I ain’t got to hold onto it if you address it. But she hasn’t addressed it.”

For those unaware, Megan Thee Stallion accused Milagro Gramz of spreading false information about the Tory Lanez shooting case. It seems like the case will go to trial next year, although some rumors of a settlement continue to persist in certain Internet corners. We’ll see if Joe Budden changes his tune about any of this after this call-out.

Lola Brooke Aggressively Calls Out Megan Thee Stallion’s Ex During Party

by

Lola Brooke and Megan Thee Stallion have never collaborated on a record, but they are part of the same generation of female rappers who have taken over the game. There’s a general understanding that many of the rappers in this class support one another. We save proof of this pack mentality firsthand on during a recent party. Lola Brooke was captured on an Instagram Story by Pardison “Pardi” Fontaine. Instead of showing love, however, Brooke decided to make her dislike of Pardi known.

Lola Brooke can be seen dancing and minding her own business out on the floor. As soon as she clocked Pardison “Pardi” Fontaine, though, her demeanor changed. She flipped off Megan Thee Stallion’s former boyfriend. Brooke did not want there to be any confusion about her intention, either. She pointed directly at Pardi to make it clear that she was addressing him. Lola Brooke then threw up her middle finger again. Brutal. Pardi was confused by the interaction. “What I do,” he asked. “What i do?” Brooke didn’t clarify what her issue was, but fans assumed it was due to Pardi’s messy split from Megan Thee Stallion.

Lola Brooke Flipped Off Pardi Fontaine During An IG Story

Megan Thee Stallion accused Pardi of cheating on her multiple times. When the former songwriter refuted these allegations, the “HISS” rapper took to Instagram Live to call him out on his gaslighting tactics. “Why are you answering? Why are you trying to make that shoe fit,” Megan asked. “Was it you getting your d*ck sucked in the same spot I was sleeping? If you said it wasn’t you, why the hell is you dissing me?” Megan Thee Stallion’s vitriol has led to her fanbase largely writing Pardi off as a cheater and liar.

Lola Brooke has never publicly commented on the messy split between Megan and Pardi. What she has commented on, however, is the importance of standing by other female rappers. She told USA Today the bond she’s developed with the likes of Megan and Flo Milli are crucial to surviving (and thriving) in music. “It’s something that I feel like I need because guys don’t always understand this,” she explained to the outlet. “No matter what I’m what I’m doing in this world, I do feel like sisterhood is very important.” She definitely lived up to her word when it came to Pardi.

The Opposing Lawyer In Megan Thee Stallion’s Hostile Work Environment Lawsuit Has Reportedly Been Sanctioned

by
Megan Thee Stallion In Her Words LA Premiere 2024 (1024x437)

Back in April, Megan Thee Stallion was named in a salacious lawsuit by a former employee. In the filing, the “Bigger In Texas” rapper’s ex-videographer Emilio Garcia accused Megan Thee Stallion of lost wages, harassment, and fostering a hostile work environment.

After a few legal hiccups, there appears to have been an update in the case. According to documents (viewable here) obtained by legal journalist Meghann Cuniff, Garcia’s lawyer, Ronald Leonardo Zambrano, has been sanctioned by the presiding judge, US District Judge Gregory H. Woods.

Within the court documents, Woods called out Zambrano for missing the in-person pretrial conference despite receiving proper notification. Although Zambrano attempted to have to avoid the decision, ultimately the judge didn’t agree with his arguments.

Now, Megan has the chance to recoup legal fees for the missed conference. Through her lawyer, Alex Spiro, Megan can file the formal request before the December 2 deadline. According to Cuniff, these tally up to $6,000.

As far as Garcia’s lost wages, harassment, and fostering a hostile work environment case is concerned it will move forward. In addition to the filing, Garcia alleged that he was force to witness a sexual encounter with Megan and a woman as they were trapped in a moving car. However, Megan’s attorney has denied the accusation.

“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” he said. “We will deal with this in court.”

Photographer Who Sued Megan Thee Stallion Forced To Pay Her Lawyers

Megan Thee Stallion has had her fair share of court battles. The rapper was famously embroiled in a criminal case against Tory Lanez, and more recently, she was sued by a photographer named Emilio Garcia. He claims the rapper trapped him inside a vehicle while she had sex with a woman. Garcia then accused Megan Thee Stallion of creating a hostile, abusive work environment in which conditions were “intolerable.” His lawsuit fell apart, however, on November 19.

Meghann Cuniff reported that Emilio Garcia was sanctioned by a federal judge on Tuesday. The photog failed to appear during pretrial conference, and has subsequently been ordered to pay the fees of Megan Thee Stallion’s lawyers. Garcia has also been ordered to pay Roc Nation’s lawyers, as the notable record label represents Megan. Prior to the sanction, One of Megan’s lawyers, Alex Spiro, claimed that Garcia was merely seeking money. “This is an employment claim for money,” he told reporters. “No sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her. We will deal with this in court.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s Team Called Plaintiff A ‘Con Artist’

Megan Thee Stallion’s other lawyer, Mari Henderson, went a step further and labeled Garcia a con artist who was attempting to use his proximity to the rapper to his advantage. “Plaintiff is a con artist who is manipulating the judicial system to act as his publicist and bullhorn,” they wrote. “In a desperate attempt to boost his failed singing career while trying to tear down the successful career of Megan.” To make matters worse, Spiro and Henderson questioned the competency of Garcia’s work when he was with Megan.

The legal reps alleged that Garcia falsified invoices and “overcharged for incomplete services” while serving as Megan’s photographer. They also accused him of seeking reimbursements for money he didn’t actually spend. Garcia was let go from Megan’s team in June 2023. Garcia argued that his termination was retaliatory after voicing concerns about the hostile work environment. Unfortunately, for him, the lawsuit has wound up costing a lot of money.
