Megan Thee Stallion Brings Desert Heat To 'Whenever'
Ahead of the track's release, the 30-year-old acknowledged, while interacting with fans on X, that her inspiration was Salvador Dali's The Persistence Of Memory.. The song itself stands as Megan Thee Stallion's first solo release of 2025 and interpolates Ms. Cherry's 'It's Whatever.'
'Stomach out, titties out, a** out, yeah, bi**h, what about it?/Do the bi**h talkin' shit look this good? Nah, highly doubt it/Real life, IG, all the real bad bi**hes follow me/ Locked up, been threw away the key, ni**as still stalkin' me,' boasts the chart-topper.
'Whenever' and the desert-set video, comes after the 'Cocky Af' rapper took over the actual desert at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. With one of the best sets of the two-weekend affair, the rapper's performance enlisted Ciara, Victoria Monét, and Queen Latifah.
Amid 'Megchella,' the rapper's social media assures fans that her 'return' is near. Her last release came in October 2024 with MEGAN: ACT II, an extended version of her MEGAN album released last June
As the hotties await an album, they still have the option to support Megan Thee Stallion's other endeavors. Earlier this year, the Hot Girl Productions boss released her first spirit brand, Chicas Divertidas tequila. Available in both blanco and reposado, the drink is 'designed to be shared and savored.'

‘Black Swan' director tried to start a feud between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis
'Black Swan' director Darren Aronofsky confessed that he tried to cause tension between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis during production of the 2010 twisted ballet thriller. The Oscar-nominated filmmaker, 56, spoke about how he attempted to pit the women against each other in an interview with Vogue while celebrating the flick 15 years later. 'I was trying to be a sneaky director and make them argue,' Aronofsky recalled, noting that Portman, 44, and Kunis, 42, didn't take the bait.

'They're both very clever and were instantly privy to whatever trick I was playing.'

'I remember being separated from Mila and that we weren't in the same space a lot when we weren't shooting,' Portman reflected. 8 Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman in 'Black Swan.' 8 Natalie Portman filming 'Black Swan.'

And I was like, 'Of course she is! She's so f–king talented and I love her so much and I'm happy she's doing a great job,'' Portman explained. The 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' actress shared how their director would tell tales in hopes it would ignite an unhealthy competition between the two. 8 Mila Kunis in 'Black Swan.'

'Then I would text Nat and she'd be like, '…No, I'm not?' I think that's how we figured out what Darren was up to, but it was all in good fun.' Portman and Kunis' friendship, however, was too solid for Aronofsky's games. The Oscar-winner even suggested the 'Bad Moms' star for the role. 'We had been friends for years and I remember being at the Rose Bowl Flea Market with her, talking about this ballet movie I was making with Darren,' Portman said in the interview. 'Mila said, 'I remember when I would take off my pointe shoes…' and I was like, 'Wait, you did ballet?!' I immediately called Darren and said there was this amazing actress with ballet experience who would be perfect for Lily.' 8 Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman in 'Black Swan.' Despite their director's deception, Kunis sang his praises. 'Every journalist wanted to know how scary Darren was: 'How intense was his set? How intense was he?'' she recalled. 'I would say, 'He's actually a really kind, lovely guy who took us to see Twilight one time because we had the day off.' And journalists were always so disappointed that he wasn't some tortured soul who treated us like garbage.' Portman famously played Nina, an unstable principal ballerina whose leading role is jeopardized by Kunis' character, Lily. The rivalry causes Nina's darkness to take over, and lines become blurred between reality and fantasy.

Chappell Roan's New Single Brings Her To Never-Before-Seen Highs
Just a few days after being properly released, Chappell Roan's new single 'The Subway' has turned out to be one of the biggest of her career. The tune is off to a fantastic start across several Billboard charts worldwide and in America, as it seems that there is a serious demand for anything new from the singer-songwriter and current holder of the Best New Artist Grammy. 'The Subway' doesn't just earn a lofty beginning, it helps the pop star climb higher than ever on multiple tallies. Chappell Roan's New Career Peaks 'The Subway' opens at No. 3 on both the Hot 100, America's list of the most consumed songs in the country, and on the Billboard Global 200, which ranks the biggest tracks all around the planet. No. 3 now stands as Roan's all-time career high on both of those rankings. On the Hot 100, she previously stalled at No. 4 with both 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'Pink Pony Club.' Globally, 'Good Luck, Babe!' — which peaked at No. 5 — stood out as her highest-rising title until this frame. Chappell Roan Almost Hits No. 1 for the First Time Roan almost scores her first No. 1 on the Streaming Songs tally, which looks specifically at the tunes that rack up the most plays on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, iHeartRadio, Tidal, and others in the United States. On that list, 'The Subway' begins its time in the runner-up space, losing out to 'Golden' from the movie KPop: Demon Hunters. Just as is the case on the Hot 100, Roan has seen two tunes peak at No. 4 on the Streaming Songs list, although 'Pink Pony Club' only galloped to No. 6 as both 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' worked their way to No. 4. 'The Subway' Launches Inside the Top 10 Everywhere 'The Subway' also enters the top 10 on two other Billboard rankings. The track is new at No. 4 on the Digital Song Sales chart and No. 10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., though those do not mark new peak positions for the rising pop musician on those lists. 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' Join 'The Subway' 'The Subway' is the latest single from Roan that continues her global success, which is not featured on her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess. That set did produce tracks like 'Pink Pony Club,' 'Hot to Go!,' and 'Red Wine Supernova.' While many of her most famous cuts — including 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'The Giver' — are likely to be featured on a forthcoming project, though Roan has no timetable for when she may finish her sophomore full-length.

Everything We Know About Steve Lacy's New Album ‘Oh Yeah?'
Rolling Stone's September cover star Steve Lacy is getting ready to release Oh Yeah? his follow-up to 2022's Gemini Rights. The Grammy-winning musician best known for the smash hit 'Bad Habit' says that on this album, he's focused on being as transparent as possible, which means letting fans in on more of his personality. Today, he dropped 'Nice Shoes,' a single that he describes as a 'trailer' for his upcoming album. The track hints at some new sonic territory for Lacy, featuring a fast-paced jungle-inspired breakbeat. He maintains the elements of his classic sound, however, towards the song's end, which segues into a slow-rolling guitar melody that's classic Steve Lacy. 'I feel safe enough and close enough to start talking about it now, and get the title out and just get the energy in the air,' Lacy says of his upcoming album. 'I've never worked where I kind of announce it while I'm still working on it. I feel like rappers work until the last minute.' More from Rolling Stone Steve Lacy Shares Album Merch and a New Single 'Nice Shoes' Steve Lacy Is One of Modern Pop's Most Unique Talents. Just Don't Make a Big Deal About It Fousheé Announces First-Ever 'Pointy Heights' U.S. Tour Here's everything we know about Steve Lacy's upcoming album Oh Yeah? He started working on the record shortly after It's been three years since Lacy's Grammy-winning album Gemini Rights. He says he started work on this next album shortly after. 'I just kind of got in the studio right away. I'm always making things. It's just what I do to hang out. I just make beats.' What about that title? As for what inspired him to call his album Oh Yeah?, all Lacy says in his cover store is, 'the question's important.' His new single, 'Nice Shoes' is a 'trailer' for the album On Friday, Lacy dropped 'Nice Shoes,' his first new release since 2022. With lyrics that volley between playful and insightful (Lacy at one point muses on a 'romantic boner,' as he describes it), the track leans on a fierce breakbeat that serves as a backdrop for Lacy's specific brand of songwriting. 'Crazy how you could be sad and not notice,' he sings. 'All I need is my guitar and serotonin.' He's thinking more about lyrics than he has in the past Despite being best known for infectious hooks, Lacy says he approached lyrics far more intentionally on this new album. 'When I first started making shit or producing stuff with the Internet, I would always make the beat, make a hook, and just give it away,' he says. 'That was my process for a while, so words were always just kind of secondary. I'm like, 'If my beat hard, this bass line hard, the chords hard, what else do we need?' But now I'm like, 'OK, I want to say shit how I would say shit.' ' According to the Internet's Matt Martians, the album sounds like pop classics from an earlier time Matt Martians of the Internet, the experimental R&B where Lacy got his start, says he's heard some songs from the album and compares it to the pop standards of yesteryear. 'When I heard the album, I said, 'You really made a pop album. And not pop in the sense of current-day pop, but pop what it used to be as far as greats,' ' Martians says. 'He is getting into areas that I feel like are very reminiscent of a pop of yesteryear, which is very good.' Lacy digs into electronic influences One of the more surprising elements of the songs on Oh Yeah is how Lacy incorporates synthesizers and other electronic sounds. Lacy says he developed an interest in collecting synthesizers. 'I have a good amount of synthesizers. I actually spent a lot of money trying to get the famous vintage ones,' he says. 'I got the Juno, but I end up mostly using one that cost me about 900 bucks. I use the cheaper one the most. It's all over the album, and I won't say what that is because got to gatekeep that.' He recorded parts of the album in Paris Lacy, an L.A. native, spent time in Paris recording his album.'I just love it,' Lacy says of the city. 'I love the color of all the beiges and the lights and how old everything is, even the lighting at night. It's just the vibe.' The city inspired his sense of directness on the album. He goes on to say, 'I think it inspires me based on the clarity that I have being here.' The album will be out soon While Lacy remains cryptic about when exactly Oh Yeah is set to drop, all signs indicate it'll be here in the near future Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked Solve the daily Crossword
