Megan Thee Stallion, the fiery rap sensation, sent shockwaves through her fanbase with a bombshell announcement during her electrifying Hot Girl Summer World Tour stop in Atlanta over the weekend. Amidst the pulsating beats and electric energy of the concert, the 29-year-old rapper dropped a major revelation: her highly anticipated third studio album is on the horizon.
The concert, which was delayed by a couple of days due to a pesky water main leak, was well worth the wait as Megan seized the moment to make a grand announcement to her adoring fans. Taking to Instagram after the show, she exclaimed, “SURPRISE HOTTIESSSS!!!! My New Album ‘MEGAN’ will be coming out JUNE 28. Click the link in bio to PRE-SAVE NOW!”
Accompanying her post was the album cover itself, a striking image featuring Megan suspended

The symbolism behind the album cover is as profound as it is captivating. While Megan’s recent singles have embraced a snake theme with tracks like “BOA,” “Hiss,” and “Cobra,” the overarching concept of the album revolves around the themes of renewal and rebirth. Delving into the inspiration behind the choice of imagery, Megan shared her insights in a recent interview with L’Officiel, explaining, “We started with the snake because, first of all, I love snakes, but I feel like snakes are so misunderstood, especially in western culture. Snakes represent rebirth, spirituality.”
For Megan, who embraces the darker, more enigmatic aspects of life, the snake symbolizes more than just a creature of fear; it embodies resilience, transformation, and the power of the unconventional. She continued, “I’m not really a person that’s like, Oh my God, sunshine and just super bubbly, happy. I like darker things. I like things that are a little scary. I like things that are unique. I picked the snake because… it’s kind of like an antihero.”
