Megan Thee Stallion Turns Her 'Hot Girl Summer' Lifestyle Into A Banger With Nicki Minaj And Ty Dolla $ign

Hot ladies, rejoice: the soundtrack to the rest of your summer is here.


Megan Thee Stallion's "Hot Girl Summer" arrived on Friday (August 9) immediately after a week-long delay that she promised could be "worth the wait." To absolutely no one's surprise, she was fully right — Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign accompany her on the soon-to-be smash, the name of which has become a inescapable catchphrase, captioning thirst-inducing selfies the world over and issuing a mantra for people's no-fucks-given summer fun.


The song itself takes those self-empowerment vibes to hype levels, with the Houston rapper firing off instant quotables like, "Should I take your love? Should I take that dick?" Nicki comes through with a similarly sizzling verse, and the ever-reliable Ty handles the hook, singing, "Hot girl summer and also you know she got it lit."


Speaking to The Root about the "hot girl summer" lifestyle, Megan explained, "It's about ladies and males being unapologetically them, just having a good-ass time, hyping up their companions, doing you, not giving a damn about what nobody gotta mention about it."


"Hot Girl Summer" is Megan's first solo release since her debut full-length, Fever. She also lent a buzzy feature Chance The Rapper's album The Big Day, and joined Drake onstage at OVO Festival last weekend. Get into the new track in the video above, and adore the animated cover art, which features Megan and Nicki straddling a Hennessy bottle while surrounded by flames. As one does.
