Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B to Drop Bongos Single

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are gearing up for his or her subsequent huge collaboration. On Sept. 4, the 2 Grammy-winning rap stars introduced that they are releasing a brand new single on Friday, Sept. 8, titled “Bongos.” They revealed the information on social media with the monitor’s vibrant cowl artwork, together with Megan sharing a behind-the-scenes picture of her colourful glam on her Instagram Story — maybe the duo will drop a music video as properly?

It’s not but clear if “Bongos” will seem on Cardi’s second studio album, as she lately informed Vogue México that she’s “not going to release any more collaborations” till her album rollout begins. Perhaps “Bongos” got here collectively faster than anticipated, however in accordance to Cardi, we will anticipate extra new music from her “very quickly.”

“I’m going to put out my next solo single,” she informed the publication in an August interview. “Right now, I’m working on the cover art and ideas for the next record because it’s definitely coming up. Everyone always tells me I should put the record out now. They did when I released ‘WAP’ [with Megan Thee Stallion] and when I released ‘Up,’ but I always let them know I’m not going to wait long after all these singles. So stay tuned because it’s coming out very soon.”

“Bongos” is Megan’s first launch since 2022’s “Traumazine” and Cardi’s most up-to-date drop this 12 months after collaborations with Latto (“Put It on Da Floor Remix”), her husband Offset (“Jealousy”), and FendiDa Rappa (Point Me 2″). Cardi and Megan’s new track will mark their second collaboration following the smash-hit success of “WAP,” their famous 2020 pussy rap anthem that had fans in a frenzy and the conservatives condemning its release. If the title and cover art of “Bongos” are any indication, it seems the new single will be yet another ode to their assets.

Cardi and Megan’s “WAP” did more than ruffle a few feathers and break records, it also marked a monumental time for women in hip-hop and those worldwide who unapologetically claimed ownership of their bodies and personal pleasure. In a 2020 interview with i-D, Cardi shared that she was “stunned by the response” to the song, saying, “I knew it was gonna have a big effect, I assume, due to me and Megan. But I did not understand it was going to be so controversial.”

She continued, “I by no means anticipated that, you already know, conservatives and republicans had been going to be speaking in regards to the tune. I did not suppose the tune was as vulgar as they mentioned it was, you already know? Like, I’m so used to it. I’m such a freak that I did not suppose it will be an enormous deal. I did not suppose individuals would suppose it was so out of this world.”

Speaking to GQ that same year, Megan addressed why some men, and even some women, criticize those who embrace their sex lives so publicly. She said, “Some individuals simply do not know what to do when a lady is in management and taking possession of her personal physique. I really feel like for a very long time males felt like they owned intercourse and now girls are saying, ‘Hey, that is for me. I would like pleasure. This is how I would like it or don’t desire it,’ it freaks males the hell out. It simply comes from a spot of concern and insecurity, like why would anybody be mad about my WAP? It belongs to me.”
