Megan Thee Stallion and BTS member RM are collaborating on new music.
The 29-year-old Houston rapper took to social media to announce that she is teaming up with the K-pop idol on the new single “Neva Play.” The track drops on Friday, September 6, and can be pre-saved on streaming services.
“NEVA PLAY WITH RM OUT FRIDAY HOTTIES X ARMY #MEGJOON,” Megan captioned a promo drawing on Instagram of them. The photo showed the rapper sporting blue hair and flashing cash while RM looking over his shoulder.
She further teased in the post, “Ps. This is one of my favorite RM verses I’ve heard! I’ve never heard him rap in this style before.”

Earlier in the week, the “Hiss” rapper hinted at a new duet on X when she tweeted a string of emojis: “🐎X💜 👀.” The cryptic post got lots of fans fired up, with some guessing that the purple heart signified BTS’ involvement.
The following day, BTS’ account confirmed the news of a team-up: “🐎X🦔(🐨),” the K-pop band wrote, retweeting the rapper's original post. “Coming Soon! 💜👀.”
The news arrived about two months after Megan Thee Stallion released her third album, "Megan". Meanwhile, BTS’ full-band activities have been on pause as the members fulfill their mandatory military obligations in South Korea, with some of the boys dropping solo projects in the meantime.
“Neva Play” will be the first time the rapper has worked with members of BTS. In 2021, she jumped on the remix to the boy band’s hit single “Butter,” which they all performed together at BTS’ concert in Los Angeles that November.
“I love BTS, and I was telling my manager, ‘I really want to do a song with BTS, I don’t know what I can do or what we’re going to do,'” she previously told Entertainment Tonight the following February. “Around that the same time, they wound up reaching out to me and asking me to do the ‘Butter’ remix. So, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’”
