Megan Thee Stallion And Renee Rapp Play Dress-Up And Start A Riot In “Not My Fault” Music Video

by

Megan Thee Stallion is in the midst of a run of new soundtrack singles in recent months. It started with a song she contributed to the A24-produced film D*cks: The Musical, which she also played a role in. Recently, she appeared in the newest season of Netflix’s animated show Big Mouth. Alongside her appearance she also contributed a raunchy new song to the show. But the biggest soundtrack cut she’s dropped recently is a collaboration with one of the breakout stars of 2023.

Renee Rapp is establishing herself as one of the go-to young artists and pop singers around. She’s taking on the lead role in an upcoming remake of Mean Girls that will feature many more musical elements. That’s probably one of the main reasons why Rapp teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion for a new single last month. The track is called “Not My Fault” and in conjunction with the release of the film it also just got an accompanying music video. Fans are flocking to the video in bulk since it dropped earlier today. Check out the new visual below.

Megan Thee Stallion’s New Music Video

In the video, Megan and Renee show off a variety of flashy outfits. In the legacy of the original film, there’s a LOT of pink. But it eventually leads to a darker point, literally. Renee sports some darker clothes, gets new tattoos and even starts a school riot in the second half of the video.

The song follows the release of Megan Thee Stallion’s new single “Cobra” last year. The track saw her bearing her feelings with even more honesty and vulnerability than ever before. The song also saw her addressing her breakup from Pardison Fontaine and called him out directly for allegedly cheating. He answered back with responses of his own in musical format, though they were far less successful. What do you think of the new music video for Megan Thee Stallion and Renee Rapp’s “Not My Fault?” Let us know in the comment section below.

Reneé Rapp And Megan Thee Stallion Lay Down The ‘Mean Girls’ Law On Their Fabulous New Collab, ‘Not My Fault’

by

Reneé Rapp had 2023 in a chokehold with her debut album, Snow Angel. And in a few weeks, she will kick off 2024 with a bang. Having previously played Regina George in the Broadway musical adaptation of Mean Girls, Rapp will reprise the iconic role in the upcoming Mean Girls film.

Ahead of the movie, Rapp has teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion for a new song from the soundtrack, “Not My Fault.” The song is centered around a memorable quote from the movie, in which one character says “It’s not my fault you’re like in love with me.”

“It’s not my fault / You came with her but she might leave with me / It’s not my fault / You’ve gotta pay for what I get for free / It’s not my fault
You’re like, you’re like, you’re like in love with me,” she sings on the song’s chorus, giving Regina a little bit of some queer flair.

Meg pops in with a supercharged verse, claiming her throne as the “Black Regina George.”

“I got influence, they do anythin’ I endorse / I run sh*t, to be a bad b*tch is a sport,” Meg raps.

You can listen to “Not My Fault” above.

Megan Thee Stallion And Renee Rapp Announce Upcoming Collab

by

After a relatively quiet first half of the year musically, Megan Thee Stallion has been busy recently. Back in September, she teamed up with Cardi B for a second time and dropped the highly-anticipated single “Bongos.” While the song didn’t reach the same commercial peaks as their previous collab “WAP,” it did stick around in the Hot 100 for multiple months after its release. She also flexed her acting skills in the absurdist A24 comedy musical Dicks: The Musical. She contributed the song “Out Alpha The Alpha” to the soundtrack for the film.

The biggest moment for Megan so far this year was when she returned with her new single “Cobra.” The song saw her diving deeper into some of her emotions while still maintaining her trademark intensity. Though the song performed just okay commercially fans absolutely ate it up. She released a remix of the track with metal band Spiritbox where they re-formed the song into a rap metal fusion. Now she’s announced her next soundtrack contribution and it’s a collaboration with somebody you might not expect. Check out the announcement below.

Forbes dropped their annual 30 Under 30 Lists this week, honoring some big names that are making a significant impact in their respective fields. For musicians, Ice Spice, Trippie Redd, Steve Lacy, and Latto were included among the recipients.

Others on this year’s class list were all three members of Boygenius (Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, Lucy Dacus), Gracie Abrams, Dominic Fike, Peso Pluma, Reneé Rapp, and Kali Uchis.

Ice Spice didn’t come as a surprise, considering how she took over the music scene this year. She dropped her Princess Diana EP, after getting a boost through hits like the title track, “Bikini Bottom,” and more. She appeared on the soundtrack of the Barbie movie alongside Nicki Minaj. She also collaborated with PinkPantheress, Taylor Swift, and more.

Lacy was previously honored this year on the Time Most Influential People of 2023 list. He continued performing his hit “Bad Habit,” including at the Grammys this year, and dropped a new video for his song, “Helmet.”

And Rapp has remained incredibly busy, dropping her debut album, Snow Angel, and securing the lead role in the forthcoming Mean Girls reboot movie.

Most of the recipients released new albums or projects this year, thus making their inductions feel like a tribute to their hard work. To view the rest of the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, visit their official website.

Reneé Rapp And Coco Jones Offer Some Spiritual Solutions For Heartache On Their ‘Tummy Hurts’ Remix

by

After sharing her critically-acclaimed debut album Snow Angel this past August, Reneé Rapp has shared four new songs, as part of the album’s deluxe edition. One of the new songs is a remix of a fan-favorite album cut, featuring another starlet.

Joined by Coco Jones, Rapp finds herself hurting both emotionally and physically following the dissolution of a relationship.

“Now my tummy hurts, he’s in love with her / But for what it’s worth, they’d make beautiful babies / And raise them up to be a couple of f*cking monsters like their mother and their father,” sings Rapp on the chorus of both the remix and the song’s original version.

Jones chimes in on the second verse, giving the song a little more of a soul element. And given her choice of words, it sounds like some soul is what this man needs.

“Baby, go open a Bible / ‘Cause God knows that sin is a cycle / Lied to my face, it’s your hobby / Boy, you fine as hell for a psycho / When do they pay for the cost of their choice? / Never ’cause that’s just them boy being boys,” sings Jones.

In addition to being incredible vocalists, Rapp and Jones are also both talented actresses. Jones plays the fabulous, opulent Hilary Banks on Peacock’s Bel-Air, and Rapp plays the sassy but loveable Leighton Murray on The Sex Lives Of College Girls. In January, Rapp will make her feature film debut as Regina George in the movie-musical adaptation of Mean Girls.

Taylor Swift Fans Will Get An Extra Little Treat Before ‘The Eras Tour’: The Trailer For The Renee Rapp-Starring ‘Mean Girls’ Musical

The publicist for the color Pink is surely having a whirlwind year. After the success of Barbie, the imagery from Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie, and winning Pantone Color Of the Year, there is no stopping the shade. Sorry to the color Blue, who tried really hard last year.

The next way Pink will be infiltrating the world is through the upcoming adaptation of Mean Girls, the movie that is based on the musical (that is based on the movie that is based on the book). The trailer is slated to show ahead of the Eras Tour movie (as reported by Vulture) because why shouldn’t Pink begin its campaign to be the official Webster word of the year? It’s like the rules of feminism.

Mean Girls: The Musical will star Renee Rapp (a fellow Swiftie who also starred in the Broadway rendition) as Queen Bee Regina George who wears pink every Wednesday while destroying the confidence of her high school peers. The movie also stars Angourie Rice, Jaquel Spivey, Auli’i Cravalho, Christopher Briney, Jenna Fischer, Avantika Vandanapu, Bebe Wood, Busy Philipps, Tim Meadows, Tina Fey, and Jon Hamm.

While we don’t have a trailer online yet, Swifties are really good at taking one thing and plastering it all over the internet, so we might see some snippets before it’s officially released, which should be soon. Until then, you might just have to shell out $19.89 to watch the trailer alongside your local gaggle of Swifties. Maybe you’ll get a friendship bracelet out of it!

Mean Girls: The Movie is set to hit theaters in January.

Jennifer Hudson And Renee Rapp Take On “Dangerously In Love”

There’s been speculation surrounding Jennifer Hudson for a couple reasons this year. The first was her potential relationship with Common. After the pair showed off some PDA earlier this year she was non-committal when discussing the details of the relationship. The dating reports go all the way back to early this year but the couple are clearly content to keep things pretty lowkey. There’s also been rumors swirling, not helped by Hudson herself, or a potential Verzuz between her and Fantasia.

On the other hand, Renee Rapp is having quite an impressive breakout 2023. Her rise in star power ultimately concluded with a nomination for Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards. While she and Peso Pluma were eventually beaten out by Ice Spice, it’s still a pretty significant achievement to be nominated. What do you think of Jennifer Hudson and Renee Rapp’s cover of Beyonce’s “Dangerously In Love”? Let us know in the comment section below.
