Megan Thee Stallion politely requested that her Hotties “stop trying” to guess what her next single, “Cobra,” would sound like because “y’all are not gonna be able to guess.” Within the same post, Meg also shared, “I spilled my guts on this song, I helped produce this song, I’m just so proud of it.” When “Cobra” arrived this morning, November 3, Hotties no longer had to guess about the song’s sonic contents, but now, they’ve shifted into hypothesizing who “Cobra” is about.
In the accompanying “Cobra” video, Megan Thee Stallion emerges from inside of a cobra after saying, “Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again.” Once she’s standing on her own two feet, she shreds everyone who has done her wrong. If you’ve been paying attention over the last three-ish years, that’s a lengthy list.
Who Is “Cobra” About?
Disclaimer: We don’t know. We can’t know unless Megan Thee Stallion explicitly says whom “Cobra” is based upon. She’s endured an overwhelming amount of people projecting opinions onto her, especially after Tory Lanez was alleged to have shot her in her feet in July 2020.
That said, it would appear that the majority of “Cobra” finds Meg venting about how she navigated Lanez’s abuse toward her — evidenced by brave and vulnerable bars like “Breakin’ down, and I had the whole world watchin’ / But the worst part is really who watched me / Every night I cried, I almost died / And nobody close tried to stop it” or “Yes, I’m very depressed / How can somebody so blessed wanna slit they wrist?”
For reference, Meg testified during Lanez’s trial, in part, “I can’t even be happy. I can’t hold conversations with people for a long time. I don’t feel like I want to be on this earth. I wish he would have just shot and killed me, if I knew I would have to go through this torture” (as NPR relayed last December).
Additionally, there’s this: “Damn, I got problems / Never thought a b*tch like me would ever hit rock bottom / Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious, always cancel my plans / Pulled up, caught him cheatin’, gettin’ his d*ck sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’.” People were quick to assume that those bars were reserved for her ex, Pardison “Pardi” Fontaine.
We’re at the start of a new era: At midnight last night, Megan Thee Stallion dropped her new single, “Cobra,” which is her first since since the end of the 1501 Certified Entertainment lawsuit. More than that, though, one thing fans are paying attention to in the wake of the new song is a line that appears to throw out an accusation of infidelity.
Megan starts the song’s second verse, “Ayy, damn, I got problems / Never thought a b*tch like me would ever hit rock bottom / Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious, always cancel my plans / Pulled up, caught him cheatin’, gettin’ his d*ck sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’.” So, the implication there is that Megan caught somebody being unfaithful to her and doing it in the bed that they shared.
After the song was released, fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts on the song, with many believing that the line is Meg accusing Pardison Fontaine of cheating on her.
All men have is audacity! How on earth will Pardi cheat on Megan Thee Stallion in her own bed?
It is believed that Megan and Fontaine broke up at some point in the first half of 2023. Meanwhile, starting in May, there were rumors that Megan was seeing soccer star Romelo Lukaku.
On “Cobra,” Meg calls out her opps — the ones who left her at her lowest, and kicked her while she was down. Sonically, “Cobra” is indicative of fresh new sounds in the Megan Thee Stallion hottieverse, as the song is jampacked with rock-influence, particularly an intoxicating guitar riff near the end of the song. As a newly independent artist, Meg is confident as she is fully in control of her sound, and it is worth nothing that she is a co-producer on this new single.
“How I still kinda feel like you plottin’, watchin’? / Why is you speakin’ on me at my lowest, when you acted like you ain’t noticed / Hoe shit then, go crazy, and made lowkey hatin’, so they ain’t gon’ say sh*t,” raps Meg on one of the song’s verses.
In the song’s accompanying video, Megan emerges from the mouth of a snake, while making a treacherous journey through the forest, dancing her way through the pain.
Megan Thee Stallion has likened her upcoming era to a snake shedding its skin, an evolution she symbolized with her upcoming single “Cobra” and its rollout. After teasing its release with a menacingly reptilian teaser, and officially announcing it with some revealing cover art, the newly independent Houston rapper shared more details about the song on Twitter, revealing that not only did she “spill her guts” on the track but also co-produced it.
“I’m so excited for the HOTTIES to hear #cobra!” she wrote. “Y’all are not gonna be able to guess what it sounds like so stop trying lol I spilled my guts on this song, I helped produce this song , I’m just so proud of it. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of my new journey and thank you hotties for riding with meee. Only 2 more daysss.”

Megan certainly had to shed a lot of old skin in preparation for the next phase of her career. She sloughed off her old record label, agreeing to settle out of court in exchange for ending the contract, and she addressed the trauma of her shooting by Tory Lanez in a powerful statement that hopefully got that particular monkey off her back. Now, she can move forward with the confidence that every move she makes now will be her own.
Halloween is always a time for celebrities to showcase their creativity, and this year was no different. From Megan Thee Stallion’s multiple transformations to Halle Bailey and DDG’s iconic duos, the stars brought their A-game to the Halloween festivities. Here are the top ten Halloween costumes of 2023, as celebrities paid homage to their favorite […]
Megan Thee Stallion may be the founder of Hot Girl Summer, but she’s also winning Spooky Season. Over the course of the past weekend, the “Bongos” hitmaker slayed in a variety of Halloween costumes, some of which, she wore to her annual Hottieween party. It’s hard to keep up with the iconic figures and characters she nailed this year, but we put together a nifty guide to Meg’s uncanny recreations.
What are Megan The Stallion’s 2023 Halloween costumes?
This year’s Hottieween party was reportedly Tim Burton-themed, and Meg dressed as a flower from Burton’s 2010 adaptation of Alice In Wonderland. In this adaptation, the flowers are colorful plants, with human-like faces and characteristics.

Later on in the weekend, Meg took her Halloween talents to Instagram, where she shared a set of photos of herself dressed as Death The Kid from the anime and manga series, Soul Eater. Meg is an outspoken lover of anime, and the ambitious, driven Death The Kid matches her energy.
In another photo, Meg dressed as Greta from the movie Gremlins. Greta is character known for her allure, as well as her femininity and unapologetic seductive nature.
DJ Akademiks has been making commentary on Hip Hop culture for years. As a result, he’s ruffled more than a few feathers in the rap industry. He frequently makes headlines for his controversies and is now widely known for that as well. Moreover, DJ Akademiks has picked beef with multiple artists, typically leading to heated exchanges and negative publicity.
Now, Saucy Santana is the latest artist to pick a bone with the media personality. Santana is beefing with DJ Akademiks over comments the latter dropped about Yung Miami. It is a still-developing story, but the two have taken shots at each other non-stop over the past 24 hours. This particular beef may grow to become one of Akademiks’ most prominent feuds. In the meantime, however, here is a list of seven of the biggest beefs he has been involved in so far.
NAV
Akademiks hop on and off dick so much he prolly got STDs
DJ Akademiks and NAV got into a heated online fight on the last day of 2019. Seemingly unprovoked, NAV tweeted, “Akademiks hop on and off d**k so much he prolly got STDs.” In no time, DJ Akademiks responded, taking rapid-fire shots at the rapper on X (formerly Twitter). “Imagine being rich asf driving to where paparazzi is at in a half a million dollar car and a million in jewelry and catching feelings cuz no one noticed u,” he said, addressing NAV.
Ak wrote further, “Seems like you d**k riding the media. U hid ya face for the first year u blew up now u desperately want attention. Answer that.” The exchange continued for a while, with DJ Akademiks calling NAV a “cold” rapper and saying he’s only interested in “covering who is hot.” Over a year later, in March 2021, the two ended their beef on a Twitch livestream where they were both present. Subsequently, in September 2022, NAV was featured as a guest on an episode of Akademiks’ podcast, and they hashed things out completely.
DJ Akademiks began his beef with Erykah Badu in 2017 when the singer appeared as a guest in an episode of Everyday Struggle. Although he didn’t show it then, the podcast host did not like being likened to Jerry the Mouse by Badu. In August 2023, years after Badu made the hilarious comparison, Akademiks finally let the words off his chest. Unfortunately, he did not do so in a very dignified way, going on a distasteful, misogynistic rant.
While addressing her and telling her to keep his name out of her mouth, Ak further stated, “I never f***ed with Erykah Badu after she came on my show and she was trying to be funny.” He insulted her, and Badu, in turn, responded to him via a video she posted on her social media accounts. In the video, Badu sarcastically apologized for vexing Akademiks.
Furthermore, she acknowledged that the words she said to him hurt him and had him “out in the streets acting real p***y.” Finally, she advertised her new incense, which featured a photo of Jerry the Mouse wearing a gold chain that reads “Livingston.” Livingston is Ak’s first name, so that’s a very direct jab at the media personality. Badu captioned the post, “Badu P***y on sale today!”
Yung Miami
The City Girl and DJ Akademiks have never really seen eye to eye. Moreover, the two have been at each other’s necks at every opportunity since 2022, when Akademiks referred to Miami as Diddy’s side chick. That comment from the podcast host set off a viral social media exchange between the two. It probably wouldn’t have stopped at all if Diddy didn’t step in.
Subsequently, Akademiks retracted his statement, and for a while, there was a period of peace between the two. However, that is no longer the case, as things have recently heated up between them. In May 2023, Akademiks told Diddy to “check ya gyal,” referring to Yung Miami. Earlier, during an interview on The Jason Lee Show, Miami used the f-slur to refer to Akademiks as a gay man. Following AK’s clapback, the duo has continually fired shots at each other, and Miami’s BFF Saucy Santana has joined in to diss Akademiks.
Happy 41st Birthday to my former Opp @FreddieGibbs … I aint know they had a whole shirt selling of u showing ur a**hole to ur ex before u got PEGGED.. Yall go cop a t shirt of Spreadie Gibbs…go help suppport his BABY… them records aint finna do ithttps://t.co/2TcIj4WDsK
Freddie Gibbs and Ak began their beef in 2020 when the rapper called Ak a “b*tch.” The insult came following DJ Akademiks’ criticism of Gibbs’ comment, where he indirectly called Gunna a snitch. It all went downhill from there, and their relationship has progressively deteriorated since then. In 2020, when Gibbs appeared on Bootleg Kev, he called Jeezy “musically irrelevant.” Akademiks disagreed with that comment and clapped back at the rapper, saying, “If Jeezy is irrelevant, Freddie Gibbs, you’re absolutely irrelevant as well.” Afterward, a viral war of words on Twitter (now X) ensued between the two.
Vic Mensa
On June 19, 2017, Vic Mensa appeared as a guest on an episode of Everyday Struggle. The rapper wasted no time in expressing his displeasure with DJ Akademiks’ War in Chiraq YouTube series, which covers the Chicago rap scene. Mensa openly criticized both the show and Akademiks. Additionally, he said he wanted to slap Akademiks in the face but refrained from doing so. For the most part, Ak handled the situation without aggravating Mensa. As a result, things did not escalate any further. The two decided to clear things up in September 2023. Following their decision, they documented their reconciliation on episode 209 of Off the Record.
In 2020, Megan Thee Stallion was involved in the infamous shooting incident. DJ Akademiks, an avid supporter of Tory Lanez, was very vocal about his support for the rapper. In an interview with Vlad TV, Akademiks shared that he was still “kinda a little doubtful” about Lanez shooting Megan. Subsequently, AK faced backlash from fans of Megan, and he and the rapper are not on speaking terms.
When Eminem released Revival in December 2017, Akademiks was not a fan of the album, and he made it very clear. He gave the album a negative review, and Eminem did not appreciate that. Months passed without Eminem addressing it, and DJ Akademiks had probably even forgotten he reviewed the album. That is, of course, until the lead single from Kamikaze dropped on September 14, 2018. On “Fall,” Eminem name-dropped Akademiks, rapping the lyrics, “Don’t make me have to give it back to Akademiks. Say this sh*t is trash again, I’ll have you twisted.” Evidently, Eminem did not take the criticism of his ninth album very well. While Akademiks was surprised by Em’s lyrical attack, he stood by his word, calling Revival “light sauce.”
Megan Thee Stallion is all about her fashion, so could we really expect her to do anything less for Halloween than to pop off? Moreover, she recently held a “Hottieween” party with many friends and special guests, a lot of which went in accordance to an Alice In Wonderland theme. At the head of the pack was the Houston rapper’s flower costume, emulating the talking flora in Tim Burton’s film adaptation of the timeless story. In addition, she also linked up with GloRilla for the first time and chopped it up with other superstars like Victoria Monét. In the comments section of the “Pressurelicious” MC’s IG post commemorating this, folks like SZA, Juicy J, and many more gave her her…. what do you call them? Oh, flowers… go figure.
What’s more is that this was far from the only extravagant or show-stopping thing that she got up to this weekend. Furthermore, Megan Thee Stallion also performed at the ONE MusicFest, and gave fans another great, sultry, and confident concert. It’s been quite the busty time for her these days, and since it looks like it’s getting even busier, we’re glad she got the chance to hang out and have fun for the spooky season. Sometimes, artists barely have time to plan their fits out for it… and this clearly wasn’t the case.
Speaking of keeping busy, it looks like the 28-year-old is dropping her new single “Cobra” soon, which has the Hotties feeling antsy. It’s been a long time since she dropped solo material- for understandable reasons- so this is an exciting new phase in her career. Megan Thee Stallion’s endured a lot, especially in the last few years, and said pressure often gets to people’s heads. Looks like that won’t be happening anytime soon for her.
Meanwhile, what did you think of this Halloween look and how it fit in with the rest of the crowd? What’s been your favorite celebrity costume you saw this year, or who’s are you still waiting for? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. As always, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Megan Thee Stallion.
Over the weekend, Megan Thee Stallion brought the Halloween spirit to life with her annual Hottieween party, held at Pullman Yards in Atlanta. The exclusive event featured a star-studded guest list, including Offset, John Boyega, Victoria Monet, GloRilla, Kash Doll, BMF actor Da’Vinchi, Zonnique, Rocko, Dominican dembow artist Yaisel LM, and more.
Megan went all out with a Tim Burton-inspired theme, paying homage to the director’s iconic films like Beetlejuice, Alice in Wonderland, and Edward Scissorhands. The rapper herself dressed up as the talking flower from Alice in Wonderland.
Guests enjoyed Ace of Spades champagne and D’USSE Cognac while they reveled in the Tim Burton-inspired Halloween extravaganza. The event was proudly sponsored by Planet Fitness, Hugo Boss, and the United States Virgin Islands, making it a night to remember in the season’s spirit.
