Megan Thee Stallion hopped on the remix of BTS’ disco-pop hit “Butter,” contributing a breezy, end-rhyme heavy verse that namedrops Stevie Wonder and Hubba Bubba gum. “Smooth like cocoa butter/My drip more than a puddle,” she raps. “They know that I’m the wave/Take over every summer.”
BTS originally released “Butter” — which was co-written by RM, Jenna Andrews, and Ron Perry, among others — back in May. It’s become a global hit on streaming services, with more than 500 million streams on Spotify alone; it also cracked the Top 15 at pop radio in the U.S. BTS released three remixes of “Butter” in June — “hotter,” “sweeter,” and “cooler” versions — before Megan Thee Stallion’s rendition arrived.
While the rapping on the “Butter” remix is lighthearted, the song did not come out without some controversy. Earlier this week, Megan Thee Stallion claimed that her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, was blocking the release of the track.
She filed documents in Texas court asking for “emergency relief … to allow her new music to be released this week as previously-scheduled,” according to Variety. The rapper’s team argued that “if [Megan Thee Stallion] is not allowed to release a new track this Friday on which she is the featured artist in a remix with BTS of the song called ‘Butter,’ her music career will suffer irreparable damage.”
The Texas court sided with Megan Thee Stallion, noting that her label has “recently engaged and will continue to engage in conduct preventing the release of [her] new music.” Megan Thee Stallion previously sued 1501 Entertainment in 2020, alleging it was preventing her from releasing the Suga EP.
Monaleo has steadily built a strong connection with listeners over the past few years. She is an MC known for sharp lyricism and a high level of energy that shows up on every record. 2026 is shaping up to be an important year for her, with growing speculation that a larger project may be coming soon. That idea feels even more likely with the arrival of her latest release, “Crossroads Freestyle.” The brief, one minute track landed on YouTube on Tuesday and has already been getting a lot of positive reactions. Once again, Monaleo leans into her confidence, delivering tight verses over a smooth, consistent beat. It is a solid release that fans will definitely want to tap into.

Getting cake by the pound, I'm greater than britain
I'm greater than Alex on top like a attic (Uh-uh)
You pushing for Clipse I'm peeping a Malice
But fear ain't a factor I'm up for the challenge
The queen of my palace from Houston, not Dallas
