Megan Thee Stallion Triumphs Again, ‘Hiss’ Slithers Its Way to Number One, Leaving Nicki in the Dust
In the world of musical feuds, Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj have been engaged in a week-long showdown. However, the tides turned when Nicki’s diss track, “Big Foot,” lost momentum, and Megan’s “Hiss” climbed the charts, setting the stage for a surprising twist in the narrative.
Over the weekend, anticipation reached a fever pitch as fans eagerly awaited Megan’s return to the Billboard charts. The signs were there, pointing towards Meg’s ascent to the top spot. True to the speculations, Billboard has confirmed the inevitable – Megan Thee Stallion has secured her third number-one hit, joining the ranks of “Savage” and “WAP.” Notably, “Hiss” claims this milestone as a solo track, marking a special moment in her career.
While the initial buzz might be attributed to the feud with Minaj, the real test lies in the song’s ability to sustain its dominance. With the unwavering support of her fans, “Hiss” could very well enjoy prolonged success on the charts. Regardless, Megan expresses her gratitude on Twitter, saying, “Thank you thank you thank you! Thank you GOD, Thank you MAMA HOLLY, Thank you to EVERYONEEEEE that took the time out of their week to go hard and make this happen! I love you I appreciate you I’m so grateful.”

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
