Megan Thee Stallion has taken aim at her rivals on her new single “BOA” which arrives with a sexy video.
Continuing the theme of snake-related song titles after “Hiss” and “Cobra,” “BOA” sees Megan asserting herself at the top of the rap game.

On the track, which samples Gwen Stefani’s “What Are You Waiting For?”, she raps: “Bitches is bitter, they thought it was sweet/ All of a sudden they vegan, they don’t want beef/ Talkin’ outta veeners, I’m knockin’ out teeth.”
She also spits: “Bitches is messy but I’m petty/ Don’t gotta edit, check the Getty/ I keep it real, I keep it sexy/ Callin’ for backup before they address me/ Hoes do all of that typin’/ But never once did I get pressed.”
Megan, who was embroiled in a messy beef with Nicki Minaj earlier this year, also calls out her contemporaries who focus on making songs for TikTok.
“Bitch, your time up, why is you not clockin’ out?/ Doin’ shit for TikTok/ Bitch, I’m really Hip Hop/ They all know my shit hot, ain’t listen when your shit drop/ All my diamonds dancin’, I ain’t need to make no TikTok,” she raps.
Another line goes: “All that fuckin’ talkin’ but let’s see who really make a move/ Post a picture, bitches call me ‘Mother,’ now who’s sonning who?”

The video for “BOA” is also heavily inspired by retro video games, as well as the cult movie Scott Pilgrim vs the World and the iconic head exploding scene from Scanners.
The flashy clip also sees Megan Thee Stallion in various provocative costumes including one where she is completely nude apart from thigh high boots, a headpiece and accessories covering her intimate parts.
The Houston Hottie also appears in animated form as a gaming avatar beating up her enemies.
It is currently unclear whether “Boa” is a part of a new album, but Megan has been teasing the follow-up to 2022’s Traumazine for some time.

Speaking to fans on Instagram Live in April, she hinted that her next LP will be around 14 songs and admitted she was struggling to settle on a sonic direction.
“I keep recording songs that are so good. Like, I be in one mood one week and another the next week,” Megan said.

“I was like, ‘Damn, I need to rap my ass off.’ So the first 20 songs I had, I’m just straight rapping. And then I started being in a better mood and I was recording feel-good songs.
“And then I got in a ratchet mood ’cause you know it’s about to be summertime and we about to be outside, so then I started making some lil’ pop that ass music.”
