After Friday (May 31) and Saturday night’s (June 1) ATL shows were canceled due to a water main break in the city, Meg delivered a special surprise for the patient fans filling State Farm Arena when she revealed that MEGAN will be released on June 28.
After the sold-out crowd was sent into a frenzy following the announcement, a QR code was shown alongside a special image on the jumbotron screens allowing attendees to pre-save the Hot Girl Productions album.

Meg has previously explained that she looks at the project as a “rebirth” of Megan Thee Stallion with her first LP since the traumatic Tory Lanez shooting trial came to a close when the singer was sentenced to 10 years behind bars last August.
“This is music I would like if I wasn’t Megan Thee Stallion. I don’t want to say I’m tapping into other genres. I’m just tapping into other sounds. But it’s still very much Megan Thee Stallion. It won’t feel like I went so left. It’ll feel true to me,” she told L’OFFICIEL of the project earlier this week. “You’ll almost be like, ‘I wouldn’t have thought she would’ve rapped over that, but this sounds great.’”
The 29-year-old unleashed three serpentine-themed singles heading into her Traumazine follow-up with “HISS,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100, “COBRA” and the Gwen Stefani-sampling “BOA.”
Megan has a pair of Hot 100 entries on this week’s chart with “Wanna Be” featuring her tourmate GloRilla at No. 50, which should receive a boost courtesy of a new remix from Cardi B, along with “BOA” at No. 91.
The Houston Hottie will look to secure her first No. 1 album atop the Billboard 200 as previous releases Good News (No. 2) and 2022’s Traumazine (No. 4) failed to reach the apex.
The Hot Girl Summer Tour continues with stops next week in Raleigh, N.C., Hollywood, Fla., and Tampa Bay.
