In the interview she discusses where her motivation came from while recording new music. “I was inspired to create this album about rebirth because I feel I am becoming a new person physically and mentally. I’m getting into a better space with making music that is still true to myself but also true to my message. I am very much a flower, but my flower has thorns," Megan explained. Those thorns have been readily apparent on the album's first two singles, both of which hold nothing back when addressing anyone who challenges her. Check out the full interview with Megan below.
Megan Thee Stallion Talks "Rebirth" And New Album
Last year, Megan Thee Stallion kicked off her new era with the single "Cobra." The track took shots at her ex and her haters and saw her embracing a heavier instrumental style. She eventually teamed up with metal band Spiritbox for an even heavier rock version of the song. Even more attention grabbing was the next single "HISS," which dropped earlier this year.
"HISS" saw Megan taking shots at just about anybody who has ever wronged her. Despite the track having numerous targets many fans honed in on one in particular, Nicki Minaj. That's because the tracks most cutting line is aimed at Minaj's controversial husband. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion's explanation of the motivation behind her new album?
