‘Girls In The Hood’ is Megan’s fourth single for 2020, following ‘Diamonds’ with Normani, ‘FREAK’ with Tyga and ‘B.I.T.C.H’. The third song featured on her third EP, ‘Suga’, which she released in March. ‘Suga’ garnered positive reviews from fans and critics, peaking at number 7 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Earlier this year, Megan released three alternate versions of her hit ‘Savage’, two remixed by Major Lazer and another featuring Beyoncé.
In an interview with The Guardian, Megan revealed her elation at working with Beyoncé.
“I got a call: Beyoncé wants to do a remix to ‘Savage’,” she recalled.
“And I was like … what? Shut up. Shut up. You’re lying. Beyoncé don’t want to get on nothing with me. Come on, it’s me! I know I’m Megan Thee Stallion, but dang!”
Megan Thee Stallion is nominated for five awards at the 2020 BET awards, the most of any female musician. The annual awards celebrate the achievements of African-American artists and sportspeople, and those identifying as people of colour.
