Megan Thee Stallion Makes Surprising Claim About Her Critics After Negative Feedback About Raunchy New Song

Megan Thee Stallion really is in her "Lover Girl" era.

Days after receiving backlash over her raunchy new song about NBA superstar Klay Thompson, Megan Thee Stallion urged her true supporters to ignore the negativity for one specific reason.

Megan Thee Stallion took a few moments to speak with her followers during a social media livestream, where she opened up about some of the hate she receives online.

"When I do peep online and see what y'all doing, I feel like y'all get so easily riled up and easily discouraged when y'all know people get paid to talk crazy about me," she said.

As she continued, Megan Thee Stallion suggested it's no coincidence she's always a topic of discussion, even when trying to stay out of the way.

"... because people are getting paid to do this," she said, claiming the "bots" speaking negatively about her are "paid people."

According to Megan Thee Stallion, the hate she receives doesn't make sense, primarily because she keeps to herself.

"What is there even to hate on? I don't be doing that. I'll be in the house with my man, with my dogs, watching anime, at the studio," she said.

Megan Thee Stallion added that her supporters should save their energy for when she needs it most.

"Then we can start crying. I ain't gave y'all nothing to cry about yet," she said before instructing her fanbase, the "Hotties," to "fight back" when the time is right.

"We're chilling right now, Hotties. We're listening to 'Lover Girl,' babe," she added.

Megan Thee Stallion's comments come days after the 30-year-old Texas native released her new single, "Lover Girl," which samples the wildly popular 1996 track, "Kissin' You," by the R&B group Total.

As the song opens, Megan Thee Stallion wastes no time cutting to the chase about her new relationship, which she raps is fulfilling all of her wants and needs.

"My man, my man, my man, my baby, my baby
 / D-ckin' me down, spoilin' me, drivin' me crazy," the lyrics read.

But she doesn't stop there. Later in the song, Megan Thee Stallion praises her NBA star boyfriend for treating her like a "lady" and supporting her thriving career.

"My n—a say, 'My lady,' he never say, 'My b-tch'
 / Some n—as make excuses, he make that sh-t exist
 / Most n—as want attention, my n—a give me his / 
He know he a star, but he my biggest fan," the TSU alum raps.

At another point in the song, Megan Thee Stallion takes it even further, rapping about her intimate moments with Thompson, calling herself "one h-ll of a woman."

And while the single was Megan Thee Stallion's first release since her 2024 album, "MEGAN," some listeners weren't thrilled with the final product.

According to a previous report from The Blast, one social media user claimed the "Girls In The Hood" rapper hadn't "evolved" as an artist since her first project. "It's the same ish every single d-mn time," they wrote.

Another user praised Megan Thee Stallion's rapping ability before saying "Lover Girl" completely missed the mark. "The style felt ... off-brand. To put it mildly, the lyrics were a little too basic," they shared.

A third user was more bold in their critique, writing, "It's not a good song."

"Yes, she's talking about love (probably because of Klay), but it's just her typical raunchy lyrics to a 95.5 the beat R&B type instrumental," they added. "The hook is well ... and repetitive to where it's not catchy but tiresome to hear. It's just not worthy of another listen, and the replay value of this track is essentially non-existent."

Megan The Stallion isn't the only female rapper telling her fans not to worry about the online trolls.

Cardi B shared a similar message following the release of her second studio album in September 2025, essentially laughing off claims that it was a "flop."

The Blast reported on Cardi B's message, in which she said she was "proud" of how her album performed in its first week (selling over 200,000 copies).

"We're in a very different era when it comes to music. So, not only am I proud of my numbers, but you got b-tches from the sideline that are going to try to make you not feel proud of your numbers," she stated.

"So people will try to discourage you about your numbers, but clearly, they don't discourage me," she continued. "That's what people will try to do, but it fails. It fails when 1000s of videos are being made to your music. And then there's 1000s of people doing memes to your songs. There's so many people that was doubting my album, that is like, 'You know what, her album is good.'"
