Megan Thee Stallionrevealed her third studio album will arrive later this June during one of the rescheduled dates of her Atlanta tour stops on Sunday night. The self-titled record will be released under her own Hot Girl Productions and is slated for June 28.
After the May 31 and June 1 dates of her Atlanta concerts were postponed due to burst water pipes and outages, Megan shared the news of her album with a QR code and speech during Sunday’s show at the State Farm Arena. She also displayed the album’s artwork, where she is seen hanging upside down, enveloped in a butterfly cocoon.
The singer and rapper preceded “Megan” with three singles, including fiery tracks called “Cobra” and “Boa,” and the first being “Hiss.” The latter was the focal point of a blazing conversation online that centered around a line Nicki Minaj took to be pointed at her. With that, the first rap beef of the year began, and “Hiss” went on to become Megan’s first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist.

In a recent interview with L’OFFICIEL, Megan further explained, “I don’t even know how to describe [the new album], honestly. ‘Hiss’ was me just getting the things that I had to say off my chest. I’m really not focused on the negativity on my album. I have a lot of different songs on the album because my emotion doesn’t stop at anger. My emotion doesn’t stop at sadness because I did grow and I did start feeling more things. I started feeling really happy. So you have songs on the album that are about the positive times that I’m starting to have. You get a little bit of everything. You get all the emotions in there.”
“Megan” will be Megan’s first album since 2022’s “Traumazine,” and her first since announcing her move to be a fully independent artist.
Megan has full ownership of her masters and publishing under Hot Girl Productions and is simultaneously working with Warner Music Group and its international affiliates. Additionally, Megan — who is managed by Roc Nation — has full creative control of her music releases along with the option to bring artists that are signed to her imprint.
The Houston-bred rapper will continue her “Hot Girl Summer Tour” with stops next week in Raleigh, N.C., Hollywood, Fla., and Tampa Bay.
