Megan Thee Stallion and BTS’ RM Collaborate on New Track “Neva Play”
Megan Thee Stallion has teamed up with BTS member RM for the electrifying new single “Neva Play,” released on September 6, 2024. Their collaboration has been highly anticipated, with Megan expressing her excitement about RM’s unique rap style in this track, stating, “This is one of my favorite RM verses I’ve heard! I’ve never heard him rap in this style before.”
The song, which comes with a vibrant and futuristic music video, showcases Megan’s dynamic performance. While her high-energy presence fills the screen, RM is featured in animated form, adding a creative touch to the visuals. The video includes playful animations, such as sharks swimming around Megan’s head, enhancing the fun atmosphere complimented by the lyrics. The catchy chorus emphasizes themes of ambition and success, as Megan raps, “You know that we never play, ayy,” underscoring her commitment to hard work and excellence.
This collaboration marks another milestone in Megan’s partnership with BTS, having previously worked on the remix of their global hit “Butter” in 2021. The rapper’s history with the group includes a memorable live performance at SoFi Stadium, where she joined BTS to present their song to fans in a spectacular stage setting.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Megan Thee Stallion continues to make waves in the industry. She released her third studio album, aptly titled Megan, on June 28, 2024, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200. The album features popular tracks like “Hiss,” a song that garnered attention for its pointed lyrics and critical reception.
Megan’s busy schedule doesn’t stop there; she is set to host the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on September 11, where she is nominated for five awards, including Best Collaboration for “Wanna Be” with GloRilla and Best Hip-Hop for her track “BOA.”
