Megan Thee Stallion‘s new album Megan is laced with star-studded features, but perhaps most notable is a verse from the late Pimp C on her UGK and Juicy J collab, “Paper Together.”
Released with the album on Friday (June 28), the Juicy and Go Grizzly-produced track fittingly finds Pimp referencing a stable as he effortlessly floats over the beat.
“A young, yellow bitch’ll rip your stable/ You gotta keep the bitch on a long cable/ I used to cut cheese up on the table/ But now I sell dope on a record label,” he raps.
Upon announcing the tracklist earlier this month, Meg said of securing the posthumous verse: “Likeeee I got Pimp anddd Bunnn on a song stop playing w(ith) me.”
In the comments, Bun B added, “They ain’t ready!”
Upon Megan Thee Stallion signing to Roc Nation back in 2019, Pimp C’s widow Chinara Butler revealed in her congratulatory post that she had some unreleased verses from her late husband on reserve for her fellow Houston native.
“And I’m hold on to a couple of Unreleased verses of #PimpC just for you!!!! Get’em #TinaSnow #HotGirlOfTheYear!!!! #Yessssss #texasgirls #TrillQueenTalk #megantheestallion #LongLiveThePimp,” she wrote.
Meg has expressed her love for Pimp C throughout her career.
“I would get in the car and my mama would be playing Pimp C. I would get in the car every day after school and be like, ‘Mama, put on that Pimp,’” she once revealed in an interview with Complex.
“So I took it into being grown now, just still bumping him. He just made me feel so cool as a kid. I didn’t even understand what he was saying, but I knew it just felt good. I wish he was alive because I wish I could have met him.”
Elsewhere on the new album, Megan appears to rekindle her feud with Nicki Minaj on track number two “Rattle.”
“I wanted everybody right here with me/ But that was my fault, bein’ too friendly/ I was thinkin’ everything was all good/ But the whole time, you was my enemy,” she raps in her opening verse.
She later appears to reference Nicki’s husband and child, spitting: “Damn, bitch, it been four years/ Worry ’bout your man and your kid/ Your life must be borin’ as fuck if you still reminiscin’ ’bout shit that we did.”
“It been four years” seems to be a nod to either Megan’s “WAP” collaboration with fellow Nicki Minaj rival Cardi B or Tory Lanez shooting her, which Nicki has made light of in her attacks against the “Savage” hitmaker.
Megan then appears to target Nicki’s allies by saying: “And I ain’t worried ’bout the bitter-bitch link-up/ Y’all hoes earned them seats in the fan club,” seemingly referencing the Young Money rapper bringing out JT, BIA, Akbar V and others during her Pink Friday 2 Tour.
Her blistering verse ends with: “Ain’t got no tea on me, this ho think she TMZ,” which could be a nod to Nicki’s “Tea Party” episode of her Amazon Amp radio show where she alluded to Megan once encouraging her to get an abortion.
The lyrical jabs continue on the next song, “Figueroa,” where Megan makes direct reference to Nicki’s fervent fanbase.
“I’m a motherfuckin’ brat, not a Barbie/ On go with any bitch that wanna start it,” she raps, while also calling out “pussy hoes on the internet usin’ me to drive traffic.”

Earlier this year, footage of Mariah The Scientist and a woman named Cleopatra Dues allegedly getting into a brawl at an Atlanta club left social media users shocked. Reportedly, Dues told police that Mariah allegedly approached her and ripped off her wig, then proceeded to drag her across the floor of Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge. She insists that she never interacted with Mariah until the alleged incident.
In May, Mariah was arrested and charged with simple battery. Now, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, she's pleaded not guilty. Moreover, her attorney Brian Steel has asked for a jury trial. She's yet to address the debacle but may do so soon in court.
Unfortunately for Mariah, her own legal woes aren't the only ones she's dealing with these days. Her boyfriend Young Thug is also currently behind bars on RICO charges. His high-profile trial was put on hold earlier this week. The defense filed a motion for Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville to recuse himself due to an ex parte meeting with prosecutors and witness Kenneth Copeland. The trial won't continue until another judge reviews the case. Glanville also plans to release a transcript of his meeting with Copeland “so everyone will have a chance to look at it.”
It's unclear exactly how long this could take. The trial is already the longest in state history, however, and doesn't look like it'll be coming to a close anytime soon. What do you think of Mariah The Scientist pleading not guilty to battery? What about her attorney Brian Steel asking for a jury trial?
