Initially receiving a text from someone on her team confirming that Queen B would hop on the remix, she explained that she texted Jay numerous times thanking him for getting the remix to come to life. “After I heard the song, I texted Jay-Z like five times like, ‘Oh my god, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.’ And then Beyonce texted me the next day. I was like, ‘Oh my god, Beyonce got my number.’… She texted me two, three times the next day and the day after that. I’m like, ‘Girl, I’m friends with Beyonce.”
Megan Thee Stallion also spoke on the importance seeing herself, Doja Cat, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj hold down the the top two spots on the Billboard Hot 100.
“Four women toppin’ the charts? When was the last time? Like, four Black women, at that,” Meg said. “We really out here doing the damn thing.”
