Trey Songz is mesmerized by Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Big Ole Freak” so much that he took his feelings to Twitter in an attempt to shoot his shot at the 24-year-old Houston lyricist.
“Big Ol Freak make me wanna knock the stallion head off for the culture,” the “Shootin Shots” singer tweeted at the wee hours of Thursday (March 28) morning.
Even though the R&B heartthrob didn’t mention Megan’s Twitter handle, word quickly got back to her and she offered him a quick curve.
“Somebody tell Trigga he can’t handle me,” she sub-tweeted back along with a few laughing emojis.
Her swift denial isn’t stopping Mr. Steal Your Girl from still being interested in Hot Girl Meg though. He actually seems to be up for the challenge.
“lemme see sumn right quick…,” he responded back.
Megan recently released her new single “Sex Talk” and is currently dealing with the loss of her mother to cancer. She made her return to social media this week and thanked her fans for the love and support during her difficult time.
Thee Stallion is preparing for the release of upcoming album Fever, which is slated to drop April 12.
Please stop throwing lyricists around. Not about the dictionary meaning but for hip hop, she’s not a lyricist
I always like to entertain this convo. Because I always say Jeezy is 100 percent a lyricist. What’s your definition?
To me, a lyricist is an artist with a rich vocabulary, clever wordplay and metaphors, intricate rhymes, creative approaches to a story… I would call Em, Lupe, Jay, Nas, Kendrick… lyricists for sure. Jeezy though? Nah.
Just because a rapper is verbose or multi-syllabic does not make them a lyricist. You can say 1000 words and not say shit at the same time — and that’s been common within Hip Hop’s underground since damn near the beginning. On the other hand, a rapper like Jeezy may have a slow flow but his lyrics are very detailed; hustler blueprints if you will and I’ve seen people hang on to every word.
Tell these “purists” whats up!!!
I’m not a purist, bro, I listen to everything – from boom bap to trap, from rappity rap shits to hooks on autotune. And it’s all good. But I’m not gonna call a generic “real” rapper who has 4-5 words/bar a lyricist just like I’m not gonna call a Jay-Z or a Nas a trapper or whatever else they’re just not. Jeezy has his lane and it’s cool, he’s doing him. It’s just that his lane is very far away from the lyrical miracle lane, that’s all.
Good shit

Well said King… well said!
Ok, so authentic then? Raw? “Real”? His persona and message may be all of those things but there’s nothing lyrical about his basic-ass rhymes (and calling cocaine different things that are white). And – in my book – it is the (dope) rhymes that make you a (dope) lyricist. Every mainstream rapper out there has a fanbase who hangs to their every word – does that mean everyone’s lyrical all of a sudden? Jay-Z = “hustler blueprints” (as you’ve called it) and lyrically top notch; Jeezy = similar hustler blueprints and other qualities certainly, but never in my life would I call him “100 percent a lyricist”.
Not sure if I would call Jay-Z lyrically top notch behind that logic. Jay-Z has great word play and amazing flow, but his vocabulary is not top notch. Jay is good all around rapper, but rarely talks about anything of substance like most rappers, in my opinion.
Jay-z has colorful range of words starting at BP3- 4:44.
This is a good debate. I’m just watching. A lot of very solid points made, because I agree especially with Trent Clark saying just because a person says 1000 words or is syllabic doesn’t make them a lyricist. That’s on point.
Megan is a one trick pony. I’v listened to a few of her joints and I’m still not impressed.
