We know Megan Thee Stallion loves spooky season because we’ve already gotten this year’s Pumpkinhead Meg picture of the rapper with a carved gourd on her melon. But in a tweet on Thursday (Oct. 12) fans thought the “Bongos” MC was scaring up some more than just Hottieween vibes and was possibly teasing news about her next era with a Halloween-themed teaser in which she appeared to be baring her vampire fangs.
The post in question featured the cryptic message “Let’s begin…” accompanied by a sliver of a picture with a slime green filter that animated into a 3-second video in which Meg bared her sharp teeth. The clip did not have any sound, but it appeared that Meg had more to say in a series of Instagram posts with more scary scenes.
A trio of posts revealed the words “Act One” with the O comprised of a red snake swallowing its own tail. The caption on the first was a snake emoji and when you clicked through it revealed a video of a white snake coiled on someone’s hand, a close-up of Megan’s face and a third of her wrists covered in dangerously thorny bracelets. The second added the caption “Begin [snake emoji],” as well as a sliver of a shot in which a green-skinned Megan was seen reclining on a blood red divan, her long nails sharpened to murderous points.
It also appeared to reveal more of what looked like a music video, with sections of a shot in which Meg bared her vamp fangs again, before repurposing the X (formerly Twitter) vamp video and adding an image of a bowl of fruit and other totems on some kind of altar.
The final slide’s message was “Lets [snake emoji],” followed by the reveal that it was Megan holding the snake, along with a zoom in on her impressive diamond link bracelets, what looked like a bespoke pair of custom fangs and, yes, another snake picture.
The comments said it all: “m idk idk idk it’s a single or her costume!!!!,” “wait music or hottieween! I’m fine with either” and “wait music or hottieween! I’m fine with either.” Fans have been patiently awaiting the rapper’s follow-up to her cathartic 2022 album Traumazine.
At press time, however, Megan had not announced any new music, though she has been easing her way back into the game following the end of the trial of Tory Lanez, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in August for shooting Megan in the feet in July 2020. Since then she has released her hit Cardi B collab “Bongos” and the “Out Alpha the Alpha,” the lead single from the A24 move Dicks: The Musical, in which she also co-stars.
And, in keeping with the tenor of the szn, she will also play a sexy hormone monstress in the upcoming seventh season on Netflix’s animated series Big Mouth, which returns on Oct. 20.
