This wouldn’t be the first time that Megan Thee Stallion and Lipa spoke of each other. During one interview, Megan Thee Stallion commented on the pop artist and the viral mashup of Lipa’s “Levitating” and Stallion’s verse on Phony Ppl’s “Fkn Around.”
“I love Dua Lipa, she’s so fire,” Megan Thee Stallion said in the video clip. “I really do wanna do a song with Dua. I saw this mashup on Twitter, and it was fire.”
Lipa since collaborated and befriended other artists. She appeared on one song with the K-pop group BLACKPINK, later posting about her friendship with Jennie. Megan Thee Stallion, of course, partnered with Beyoncé for one version of “Savage.” It was this collaboration that earned her a Grammy Award in the “Best Rap Song” category.
