Megan Thee Stallion is saying anything but “we can’t be friends” to Ariana Grande, whom the rapper said she’s eager to collaborate with again following the success of their “34+35” remix.
In a game of “Truth or Wear” for Who What Wear — the cover of which she appeared on Monday (May 19) — Meg had an immediate answer when challenged to name her dream duet partner. “I would probably have to say Ariana Grande,” the Houston Hottie said.
“I collabed with her one time, but now that I’m in a new space with music and such — and I feel like she’s in a new space with her life and her music,” she continued. “I would really like to see what we would come up with right now.”
It’s been about four years since Thee Stallion and the Wicked star last teamed up, joining forces for a remix of Grande’s Positions single “34 + 35” with Doja Cat. After the two rappers added to the track, it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Meg and the “Yes, And?” singer have been tight ever since, with Grande writing, “I adore @theestallion” on Instagram last year after the hip-hop star emphasized the importance of voting in the presidential election in her Billboard cover story.
For WWW, Meg reciprocated the love — “That’s my girl, that’s my queen,” she said of Grande — before setting things into motion. “Ariana!” the “HISS” artist said into the camera. “Call me.”
The interview follows the release of Thee Stallion’s new single, “Whenever,” which dropped in late April. This week, she also unveiled her new swimsuit collection with Walmart.
The past few days, however, have also presented some less pleasant news for the “Savage” spitfire; as rappers including Drake and Ye have started petitioning for the release of Tory Lanez, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted in December 2022 of shooting Meg in the foot three years prior, Lanez’s lawyers have claimed new evidence has surfaced proving he wasn’t the one who shot her. In response, Meg wrote in a post on TikTok Monday (May 19), “Ain’t no new f–king evidence yall been saying the same s–t for years … TORY PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE you are a f–king demon.”
