Megan Thee Stallion Updated The ‘Megan’ Cover On DSPs After Fans Complained About The Original Version

Megan Thee Stallion‘s new album Megan is on the way, but before its release, she’s made a big change to one of the most important parts: the cover art. Thee Stallion had the album’s cover updated across DSPs from its original version; on the new cover, a nude-ish Megan emerges from a giant egg. This re-aligns from the old cover, which depicted Megan coming out of a monarch butterfly chrysalis hanging from a tree. The original cover drew complaints from fans — along with Ice Spice’s Y2K cover — for featuring an awkward design.

Meg almost certainly saw fans’ jokes about the original cover, which deviated heavily from the established snake theme of her promo so far. Having released singles like “Cobra,” “Hiss,” and “Boa,” representing the way snakes shed their skins, the butterfly theme of the cover also nodded to the concept of transformation, but seemingly came out of left field. Speaking of left field, positioning the subject to the extreme left of the cover is pretty much a day-one design class error — not that it can’t be done to make an artistic statement, but here, the decision was misplaced (along with Meg). You can check out the new cover for comparison below.

Megan is out on 6/28

Megan Thee Stallion Album Art Confusion Continues As New Cover Appears On Streaming Services

Megan Thee Stallion has been having a solid start to the year so far. Over the past seven months, she has dropped off three singles in “COBRA,” “HISS,” and “BOA.” Clearly, you can spot the trend here. Moreover, it was revealed recently that the artist would be dropping off an album called MEGAN on June 28th. Overall, the project is one of the most hyped of the entire year, especially since the artist is currently on tour right now. Fans are excited for this body of work, and there are some lofty expectations.

However, there has been one point of contention as it pertains to this new album. Overall, there are a lot of fans who have taken issue with the album’s cover art. The first cover that was shown off was a bit too avant-garde for people’s tastes. As for the second cover, it was much better, but some still couldn’t get over the “M” pasted in the background. Well, according to Pop Base, it would appear as though a third cover has appeared online.

Megan Thee Stallion shared emotions with her Tampa fans over the weekend. During her performance of “Cobra,” Thee Stallion fought back tears.

The Internet does too much sometimes. Over the weekend, an AI sex tape of Megan Thee Stallion hit online, and she appeared to sign off on the issue on X.

“It’s really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning,” Thee Stallion wrote. “Yall going too far, Fake ass shit. Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it.”

In better news, Megan Thee Stallion announced the upcoming release of her new album, MEGAN, scheduled for June 28. The album is now available for pre-save via Hot Girl Productions.

Megan unveiled the album title and release date during a sold-out Atlanta stop on her “Hot Girl Summer” tour. The Houston native surprised the audience with the news and presented a QR code, enabling attendees to pre-save MEGAN immediately, along with a special image. Recently featured on the U.S. and European covers of L’Officiel Magazine, Megan discussed the album’s concept, describing it as “renewal, rebirth,” and highlighting its positive themes.

The announcement follows the release of a series of snake-themed singles, including “COBRA,” “HISS,” and “BOA.” The latest track, “BOA,” features a beat by LilJuMadeDaBeat and samples Gwen Stefani’s 2004 classic “What You Waiting For?”

Megan has been performing her new music alongside her extensive catalog during her first-ever headlining arena tour, featuring special guest GloRilla. In May, she delivered a stunning performance at Madison Square Garden, where she brought out Cardi B and GloRilla, teasing their mega remix of “Wanna Be.”

MEGAN marks her first studio album since August 2022’s “TRAUMAZINE,” which included collaborations with Dua Lipa, Key Glock, Jhené Aiko, Rico Nasty, Latto, Lucky Daye, Pooh Shiesty, and Houston icons like Sauce Walka, Big Pokey, and Lil Keke.

In addition to her singles, Megan has also released a series of freestyles for her fans. She revived #MeganMonday with the surprise drop of “I Think I Love Her Freestyle” over Gucci Mane’s iconic beat, followed by “Like a G6 Freestyle,” paying homage to Far East Movement’s 2010 hit.

Megan Thee Stallion Shares Alternate Cover For New Album, Fans Like It More

Megan Thee Stallion’s new album Megan comes out on June 28, and a lot of die-hard fans and casual listeners alike are very excited for it. However, the rollout for this new project could’ve been better in some fans’ eyes, as many weren’t the biggest fans of the new LP’s original cover art. Fortunately, it seems like the Houston femcee recently shared an alternate cover art on her social media on Saturday night (June 8), which many in the comments section of the IG post below praised as an improvement on the original. Maybe this is actually a replacement and not just an alternate, but either way, we’re sure fans will have access to both through physical or digital download purchases.

Furthermore, this is especially heartening because it also lets fans know that Megan Thee Stallion isn’t just popping out with the new album randomly. She’s been consistent about promoting it constantly while still pushing other things forward. For example, Meg recently joined Latto and Flo Milli for the “Sunday Service” remix, another huge collaboration this year that is building a lot of praise and hype. It feels like it’s all part of the same plan, which is an important image to keep up with a huge release on the way.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Alternate Cover Art For New Album

However, Megan Thee Stallion is also dealing with a lot of negativity right now, blasting the alleged viral spread of an A.I.-faked sex tape online that aims to ruin her social media presence. “It’s really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning,” she wrote on Twitter against an unknown individual or group, most likely a broad generalization of her haters. “Yall going too far, Fake a** s**t. Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it.”

Hopefully Megan Thee Stallion is able to sidestep most of this undeserved and invasive hate ahead of Megan‘s release and after it. At least the tour is going really well when the shows aren’t getting canceled for X, Y, or Z reasons. It’s odd to see this mix of wild success and acclaim with plenty of roadblocks, too, but it’s the nature of current celebrity culture. Nevertheless, cover art haters are one group that Tina Snow won’t have to contend with for much longer.

She announced the project officially on Sunday night after months of teasing plans for it. In a post on social media, she wrote: “SURPRISE HOTTIESSSS!!!! My New Album ‘MEGAN’ will be coming out JUNE 28 PRE-SAVE NOW!”

In the replies to the post on X (formerly Twitter), fans were excited, but dismayed by the cover art. It shows Megan breaking out of a cocoon with an “M” superimposed in the background. “We will be buying and streaming but the album cover….. is kinda confusing it looks like ur inside a testicle,” one fan admitted. Another described Megan as a “genuinely charming, extraordinarily talented artist who makes some of the most baffling creative choices I have ever witnessed.” One more wrote: “Whoever made this cover should be blacklisted from the graphic design community for life.”
