Megan Thee Stallion has never been one to take her foot off the gas. The Grammy-winning rapper earned her first solo number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 last year with the single “Hiss” from her third studio album Megan; the deluxe reissue Megan: Act II arrived last fall alongside her vulnerable documentary Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words. In recent months, the rapper-turned-business mogul has been busy taking her talents beyond the studio by building up her new Chicas Divertidas tequila brand now available for purchase across the country.

She didn’t take too much time away from the mic, however. The Houston-bred MC is back with a new single, “Whenever,” signaling that she has no intentions of taking a step back from music while focusing on other ventures. “Hangin’ with opps, you a chop / Do your thing, but that ain’t how I rock / You h**s don’t appreciate loyalty / I don’t act funny, b***h, I act accordingly,” she raps on the track. “It’s whenever, b***h, it’s whatever, h** / It’s whenever, b***h, it’s whatever, h** / It’s whenever, b***h, it’s whatever, h** / We can do it right now, we can take it out the door.”

After splitting with 1501 Certified Entertainment in 2023, Megan has been able to fully take the reins of her creative output, including how often she releases new music. “I have the freedom to say whatever I want to say and put something out whenever I feel like it,” she told Vogue last year. “That’s why I was able to even put out two projects in one year… I literally can just wake up and decide to do it again tomorrow.”

But being in charge of your whole career doesn’t come easy. “The other side is that I really am now my own boss, so I have to worry about the business side and the artist side,” she admitted. “I’m still kind of navigating my way through [that]

. I’ve always considered myself a boss, but now I’m really in the boss seat.”
