Megan Thee Stallion returns with fiery new single, Whenever
The rap superstar is back with a fiery track featuring a sample of Ms. Cherry's 2004 track 'It's Whatever'.
'Whenever' is produced by Bankroll Got It, the Bay Area production trio specialising in hip-hop, trap, R'n'B, and pop.
The song is the 'WAP' hitmaker's first since she released 'MEGAN: ACT II' in October, the deluxe edition of 'Megan', which featured new songs with Flo Milli, RM of BTS, TWICE and Spiritbox.
Megan recently rocked Coachella with special guests Queen Latifah, Ciara, Victoria Monet and Courtney LaPlante.
She stormed through her 18-song set on April 14, including a cover of GloRilla's 'Wanna Be' and a medley of 'Freak Nasty' / 'Girls in the Hood' / 'Where Them Girls At' / 'Savage'.
Megan was then joined by Spiritbox frontwoman Courtney – whose band she previously teamed up with on a heavy metal remix of 'Cobra' - for the live debut of their collaboration 'TYG'.
A few songs later, it was time for hip-hop icon Latifah to join her for the empowering female anthem, 'Plan B', before she poignantly performed her own song 'U.N.I.T.Y.'.
The surprises didn't end there.
Victoria came out for the live debut of 'Spin' and performed her song 'On My Mama'.
And finally, Ciara joined the hip-hop powerhouse for the debut of their track 'Roc Steady', mixed in with her noughties classic 'Goodies'.

‘They're going to see who I am': Top shots from the National Photographic Portrait Prize
This story is part of the August 9 edition of Good Weekend. See all 13 stories. Our pick of National Photographic Portrait Prize finalists salutes the stoic, the stubborn, the singular and the strong. Megan's Place, 2024 Megan is my friend and neighbour. Her life blends the ordinary with the extraordinary. Against the backdrop of her traditional weatherboard house in regional Victoria, Megan stands stoically with one of her rescue camels while her daughter bounces energetically on the trampoline. This moment captures the elements of both domesticity and adventure that encapsulate her life. Rebecca Polonski Thelma Plum, 2024 I made this picture with Gamilaraay musician Thelma Plum on Wilyakali Country last winter. The image was taken using a Rolleicord camera on the Mundi Mundi Plains near Broken Hill, where I live. We spent three days photographing throughout far west NSW, making a series of shots for Plum's album I'm Sorry, Now Say It Back. Em Jensen Sonny Jane Wise, 2025 My work is often playful, but also aims to challenge. Sonny Jane is a queer, non-binary, disabled and neurodivergent advocate and writer, who says their 'defiant' tattoo is 'a commitment to resist systems that pathologise our minds, bodies and queerness. When people look at me, they're going to see who I am.' Bri Hammond Untitled #01 (Code Black/Riot), 2024 Code Black/Riot is a collaboration with First Nations youths in far north Queensland, which interrogates a system that targets and imprisons them from the age of 10. The youths prefer to conceal their faces to avoid being identified. Hoda Afshar The Sky, 2025 Grace Tame is extraordinary, devoting her life to advocating for survivors of child sexual abuse. There's so much more to this portrait; a ripple on an ocean beneath that holds far more than it reveals. Stuart Spence Britney and Kayleb, 2024 Kayleb paints up his partner, Britney, at the Waagan Galga Corroboree on Wonnarua Country [in the Hunter Valley, NSW]. Later, they dance together to display the depth of love and loss they have experienced. Culture is a powerful healer. Marcus Rowsell Diamond in the Sky, 2024 As part of my series Deep Heat, I took this portrait 'with' Antony Sinni, a non-binary friend and artist on Larrakia Land, Garramilla [in the Darwin region, NT]. I highlight 'with' because making an image like this is both individual and deeply collaborative: experiencing what it is to be within a moment of vulnerability, connected by the sand, sky and the lens. In the series I use photography to explore my complex relationship with gender and masculinity, creating an opportunity for healing and evolution. Matt Sav Self portrait collecting dust, 2025 This photo captures the intimate chaos of a life lived in one space, my childhood bedroom [in western Sydney], for 34 years. Surrounded by a tapestry of trinkets and the quiet clutter of everyday life, my self portrait reflects the intersection of nostalgia and the present. The disorder becomes a tangible reminder of time passing, of a personal history that clings to the space, the room itself as much a part of my identity as the person within it. Tom Zust The National Photographic Portrait Prize 2025 exhibition, featuring the 48 selected finalists, will be on display at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra from August 16 to October 12.

'Would have known': The truth behind Prince Harry's mediation with King Charles as exiled royal reels from Netflix calling time on $153 million content deal
Netflix have grown increasingly unsatisfied with Meghan and Harry's performance on its network, and the dwindling number of viewers who tune in to their shows have had enough too. The company had originally made a USD$100 million (AUD$153 million) deal with the pair - but that was when the couple were spilling all about the entrails of their relationship with the Royal Family. When the couple ran out of new material their broadcasts began to flop. As a result Netflix is not renewing their contract when it expires in September. It's a massive shock that could significantly affect their lives. They were rarely apart when they were newlyweds, but will they still stay together? Meghan now sees herself as a businesswoman despite complaining in a recent podcast that she had to work so hard. Harry often travels. Recently he went to Angola to support the work of the HALO Trust that backed Princess Diana's famous walk through a minefield. Harry no doubt wanted to feel close to his mother, who died in 1997, while bolstering his image. Meghan likes to keep in the public's eye, readily using social media, despite she and Harry expressing concerns on the negative impacts. She often shows their two children Archie and Lilibet in her posts but won't show their faces. And followers are getting bored with them due to their rank hypocrisy. Her latest series, 'With Love, Megan', failed to reach Netflix's top 300 most-watched programs. Harry's situation was worse, with his Netflix polo sport feature rating 3,436th in Netflix's engagement report. Nonetheless, Meghan thinks highly of herself and believes she knows better than the experts around her who often don't stay very long. Even her produce is not always given enough attention. About a month ago she produced apricot spread for her 'As Ever' brand, showcasing jam as an important part of her business output. The Duchess of Sussex was blasted for supposedly picking fruit from a tree which showed some green looking apricots, raising questions on whether the fruit she was using were in season or not. Jam guru Donna Collins publicly criticised her and called the jam 'a real disappointment'. Then after you thought things couldn't get any worse, two of the biggest brand experts in the US lashed out at the Princess. Canadian lawyer Phillip Millar and California marketing executive Camille Moore, both stars of 'The Art of the Brand' podcast called Meghan a 'fraud'. They said the people behind the 'As Ever' brand are 'milking' her fame she gained after marrying Harry, and that she is 'suckering people into buying her stuff'. And that the concept of Meghan's lifestyle business was one of the worst they have ever seen. In mid July there was a meeting between Tobyn Andreae, the King and Queen's communications secretary, with Liam Maguire and Meredith Maines who work for Harry. The aides sat on a balcony but only for ten minutes, after Mr Maguire spotted a photographer. Was the snapper there by chance? And was part of the meeting done outside to see if it would leak? Harry would have known of Netflix's decision, therefore wanted his father to give him much needed money. The meeting was less likely a ploy to seek peace with his father. In a recent interview with the BBC he said he missed his country and then used part of the 30 minute-interview to accuse the royal household of influencing the Court of Appeals' decision to reduce his security detail. Money aside, Netflix's action is a major personal set back. Does Meghan feel she would be better off without unsuccessful Harry? It will be a second blow for Harry, who may feel like another 'Spare', similar to the title of his book. The couple moving back to London seems unlikely. Meghan knows she is not popular in the UK and so far sources have said that she won't come. Or bring the children. The King loves Harry like any father loves his child, but hugely disapproves of his behaviour, particularly his rudeness about his adored wife Camilla - calling her 'dangerous' and that she 'left bodies left in the street' on her ascent to royal stardom. Harry has written in his memoir that Camilla "sacrificed me on her personal PR altar". Angela Levin is an award-winning British journalist and royal biographer. Her biography Harry: Conversations with the Prince was published in 2018. Her work has been commended twice at the British Press Awards.
