Megan Thee Stallion Says She Had To Clean Up Her Lyrics To Work With Beyonce

by Daryl Nelson

Megan Thee Stallion spoke with ELLE about working with Beyoncé on the "Savage" remix, released in 2020.

The Houston rhymer said she was blown away that Bey even decided to get on the record. Some might recall Megan getting emotional about the collab when it dropped.

But there was one thing she had to do in order for Beyoncé to work with her: Change her lyrics.

"So, we were in quarantine at this time. Beyoncé did the remix, I didn’t believe she was actually gonna do it, but she did it and my mind was blown," Megan explained, according to HipHopDX. “I called my granny, me and my manager was in my living room going crazy."

"Beyoncé was like, ‘Could you please make your verse like a little bit a cleaner?’ I went in my living room and I recorded it right then," she added. "Beyoncé didn’t have to tell me twice. I sent that verse right back ... But it was amazing. Everybody knows that I am obsessed with Beyoncé, so I when I got the collab, like being from Houston with her, I was just appreciative."
