Megan Thee Stallion is showing no signs of slowing down as she builds momentum for MEGAN: ACT III. Fresh off her explosive Coachella performance, the Houston superstar released her new single “Whenever” on Friday (April 25), alongside its highly anticipated music video.
Directed by Zac Dov Wiesel, the chaotic and vibrant video sees Megan crash into an office, perform a split on a reception desk, twerk in the desert, and even entertain fans from inside a fish tank. Throughout the visual spectacle, an older woman looks on, visibly stunned by the whirlwind of scenes.
Sampling Ms. Cherry’s “It’s Whatever”
“Whenever” cleverly samples Ms. Cherry’s 2000 track “It’s Whatever,” with producers Bankroll Got It and Shawn “Source” Jarrett infusing the chant, “It’s whenever, bch, it’s whatever, h,” into the background, giving the song a catchy, throwback vibe.
A Possible Shot at Olivia Davis?
Megan appears to take aim at influencer Olivia Davis, who mispronounced her name on the “3 Girls 1 Kitchen” podcast last November. Megan raps, “Say she don’t know me, she fanned out on TikTok / Bch, stop, thinkin’ you ate, should’ve been quiet / Can’t get your h back ’cause he with a pimp now.”
Playing Chess, Not Checkers
In a standout scene, Megan twerks atop a giant knight chess piece — shaped like a horse’s head while clad in a lace bodysuit and stockings. “Stomach out, titties out, a** out, yeah, b**ch, what about it?” she raps, underlining her message of confidence and dominance.
A Subtle Tory Lanez Diss?
Fans quickly speculated that Megan threw shade at Tory Lanez with the line, “Locked up, been threw away the key, ngas still stalkin’ me / Out of sight, but still on you hs’ mind,” a reference to Lanez’s 2022 conviction for shooting her.
Throwback Vibes on the Cover Art
The cover art for “Whenever” brings major Fever energy, featuring the same warm orange tones, Blaxploitation-inspired style, and multiple versions of Megan herself — a nod to her 2019 breakout mixtape.
