Megan Thee Stallion Stands on Business with "Neva Play"

Megan Thee Stallion is back in the spotlight (though, she never really left) with her latest single, "Neva Play," featuring a complimentary collaboration with RM of BTS. This partnership marks another chapter in Megan's evolving relationship with the influential K-pop group, having previously joined forces on the chart-topping track "Butter (Megan Thee Stallion Remix)" in the summer of 2021.

"Neva Play," produced by B Ham, Peter Fenn, and Shae Jacobs, fuses attention-grabbing trap beats with an infectious number-counting chorus, encapsulating the rapper’s commitment to asserting that she means business — while highlighter her unique blend of magnetic charisma. The first verse pays homage to her undying, (and relatable) love for anime, mentioning iconic women from the Dragon Ball series, Bulma and Chi-Chi. "Ayy, blue hair like Bulma, big chi-chis / Blue one, blue hundred, big VVs," she raps, illustrating her signature playful style.

Additionally, Megan's lyrics hint at her disinterest in feeding into industry beef, though she cleverly avoids any names because they simply aren’t a part of her world, (period). Elsewhere in RM's verse, he proudly calls out the impact of BTS, reiterating the group’s role in paving the way for other K-pop artists, essentially sharing his stance on an ongoing battle that’s often debated by stan Twitter. Alongside the track is the official music video for "Neva Play,” featuring a series of vibrant visuals that celebrate anime culture alongside the high-energy performance style synonymous with both globally recognized artists in their own respective lanes.

All things considered, "Neva Play" signals another powerful return for Megan as she expertly blends her roots in hip-hop with the global influence of RM’s K-pop tenacity, all while promising to dominate playlists in the coming weeks. Check out the music video for “Neva Play” included below.
