Megan Thee Stallion‘s latest single Hiss has slithered its way into the spotlight, not just for its catchy beats but for its fiery lyrics, particularly those aimed at rap icon Nicki Minaj.
Megan Thee Stallion uses ‘Megan’s Law’ to target Nicki Minaj
The song, a blend of sass and direct jabs, dropped on Friday and has the rap world buzzing.
At the heart of the controversy is a clever play on words involving ‘Megan’s Law‘.
For those out of the loop, Megan’s Law refers to legislation requiring law enforcement authorities to make information available to the public regarding registered sex offenders.
This seems to directly connect to Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, a registered sex offender.
It’s a bold move by Megan, intertwining personal affairs with public legislation in her lyrics, fuelling speculation about the depth of her feud with Nicki.
Nicki, known for her quick and sharp responses, didn’t let this slide.
The rap icon went on Instagram Live to preview a diss track of her own, slated to drop as soon as next week.
The duo, who collaborated on the summer anthem Hot Girl Summer, have had a topsy-turvy relationship that’s seen collaborations turn into confrontations.
Away from the mic, Megan has been dealing with personal challenges, notably the aftermath of being shot by Tory Lanez.
The incident and the subsequent legal battle have cast a shadow over her life and career. In August 2023, Lanez was sentenced to 10 years for the shooting, closing a painful chapter for Megan.
Hiss marks Megan’s return to music after a period of personal turmoil. Her previous single, Cobra, had a notable run on the Billboard charts, and this new release seems poised to make its mark too.
