Earlier this week, we told you about Megan Thee Stallionβs return to social media following a monthlong hiatus. We also mentioned that she dropped a teaser for her new single, βThot Shit,β that was set to be released on Friday. Well, hotties today is that day, and boy, Tina Snow did not disappoint!

Taking a direct dig at conservatives (and anybody else, for that matter) who haveΒ ever had anything negative to say about women openly embracing their sexuality, the nearly five minute-long music video boasts Megan and a handful of dancers shaking ass and taunting a white senator after he leaves a misogynistic and hateful comment on her βBodyβ music video. (It should also be noted that that same senator also pulled a Jeffrey Toobin while watching Megan dance. Unlike Toobin though, at least he had the foresight to close his office blinds before he engaged.)
Per Hypebeast, when asked about the inspiration behind the song, the βGirls in the Hoodβ artist told a user on Twitter: βIβm really just talking shit and taking ownership of the words βthotβ and βhoeβ bc theyβre not the drag the men think it is when trying to come at women for doing them.β I know thatβs right, Megan, talk your shit, then!
Keeping on that same tip of women doing exactly what TF they want, Doja Cat also released a music video today for her new single titled, βNeed to Know.β Per Pitchfork, on Thursday she also announced the title and tracklist for her upcoming sophomore album, Planet Her, which is slated to drop at the end of this month.
The 14-track album will include her lead single βKiss Me Moreβ featuring SZA, as well as other collaborations with The Weeknd, JID, Young Thug and Arianna Grande. Going with a mostly intergalactic theme, the video screams vintage Doja as the artist is never afraid to don a new persona for the sake of fire music. (I know yβall remember that βBitch, Iβm A Cowβ visual. We were all confused back then but thankfully her vision evolved.)
Speaking of evolution, one thing that has apparently stayed the same is Nicki Minaj and Drakeβs friendship. According to Billboard, the former Young Money artists reunited last night to help hype up Nickiβs feature on Polo Gβs new album, Hall of Fame. The song, titled βFor the Love of New Yorkβ tells the tale of a lover scorned as she reflects on heartbreak and giving it up to the wrong person. (Sidebar: That topic of βthe wrong personβ seems slightly ironic considering the criticism sheβs faced over hubby Kenneth Petty, who coincidentally now might be facing more jail time following his failure to register as a sex offender in the state of California.)
A snippet of Nickiβs bars per Billboard:
You said youβd never make me cry.
Thatβs right before you made me cry.
Said you ainβt like them other guys
Then you led me to my demise.
I never shouldβve never gave it to you in the first place.
And why the fβ- I move in with you in that first place?
Nicki isnβt the only one with fire collab out, though. Complex reports that SZA and SAINt JHN also teamed up for their latest hit, βJust For Me,β from the new Space Jam: A New Legacy soundtrack. This feature comes just after the release of the filmβs second trailer, which hit the social media streets earlier this week.
Whew, talk about βNew Music Friday!β
βThot Shit,β βNeed to Know,β βFor the Love of New York,β and βJust For Me,β are available to download and stream on all music platforms. Which song is your favorite, let us know in the comments!
