Megan Thee Stallion has released her new single, ‘Neva Play’, featuring RM of K-pop boyband BTS.
Today (September 6), the ‘Mamushi’ rapper unveiled her new collaboration single ‘Neva Play’ featuring BTS leader and rapper RM. The K-pop star does not appear in its music video, instead an animated version of the duo use their superpowers to fight monsters and carry out a heist.
“One, two, three, four (One, two, three, four) / Five, six, seven, eight (Five, six, seven, eight) / Let ’em know we on the way / Countin’ zeros everyday / You know that we neva play,” they rap.
The rapper first began teasing the collaboration last week. Prior to its release, Megan Thee Stallion wrote of RM and the track: “This is one of my favourite RM verses I’ve heard! I’ve never heard him rap in this style before.”

In RM-related news, the BTS star most recently released his solo album ‘Right Place, Wrong Person’ in May. The album scored a five-star review, with Rhian Daly writing for NME: “It’s a gorgeous, intriguing, artful record that would likely not have come to be had RM not experienced – and then interrogated – these feelings of confusion and being out of place.”
In July, Megan Thee Stallion closed out her ‘Hot Girl Summer’ tour at the O2 in London. NME‘s Kyann-Sian Williams wrote in a five-star review: “The night – which is an exuberant celebration of fun, twerking and self-confidence – ends with her trademark statement that never gets old: ‘Real hot girl shit!’”
