Megan Thee Stallion ’s latest song, called “Hiss,” is titled after a snake’s warning shot, but within moments of its release, it was clear the Hot Girl was done making threats. For this one, she was emptying the clip.
Checking in at a little over three minutes, Meg’s latest is an apparent response to any and all who’ve thrown shade her way the last few months, including Nicki Minaj and Drake.
In December 2022, Tory Lanez was convicted of felony assault for shooting Megan in her foot after leaving Kylie Jenner’s pool party in July 2020, and he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime in August 2023. Since then, Meg’s been subjected to claims that she was lying about the incident, with one of the most notable jabs being a Drake lyric from his 2022 joint album with 21 Savage, Her Loss.
In the song, Megan Thee Stallion kicks his first with the following lines: “I feel like Mariah Carey (Mariah Carey), got these ni–as so obsessed (Damn).”
Megan references Mariah Carey’s 2009 track, “Obsessed”, where Carey addresses rumors and gossip about her personal life, and complains about someone (Eminem) being obsessed over her. The track came a month after Eminem took multiple shots at the singer, as also her ex-husband Nick Cannon on the track “Bagpipes from Baghdad.” Megan, much like Mariah, suggests that she’s not concerned with the opinions or rumors surrounding her, declaring her confidence and resilience in the face of scrutiny, much like Mariah Carey expressed in her song.
