With GRAMMY and MTV VMA trophies lining her mantel alongside the resume of hits that won those awards, Mya has little reason to be modest – a flex she serves with no hesitation via her latest single, ‘Worth It.’

Over a Lamar “MyGuyMars” Edwards-produced beat, the R&B veteran shows off her Rap skills by unveiling a set of braggadocious bars.

“…your sister and cousin / Be tryin’a understand / How I keep lookin younger and younger / It’s the genes and all this foreign fruit / I keeps in my stomach / Not to mention I’d rather prefer / To stay out the public / Cuz I’m on it, best believe I own it publishing and masters,” she spits.

Elsewhere on the candid track, the 41-year-old even addresses murmurs about why she chooses to ‘protect her peace’ by living the single life.

“Why you ain’t married wit’ babies / Your time is almost up / But that ain’t never been my vision / Watchin’ women in my family struggle / Shitted on, broken, abandoned left to crumble / So I’m hesitant when it comes to men.”

Megan Thee Stallion trots through the mind of Akademiks quite a bit it seems.

At the top of the year, the blogger/DJ-turned-Web personality sent the rapper’s fans – affectionately called #Hotties – into a frenzy when he said the GRAMMY winner wasn’t ‘100th of the talent’ of her ‘Hot Girl Summer’ co-star Nicki Minaj (as we reported here).

As if the unceremonious slamming he was for that afforded wasn’t enough, he returned for more this week – inciting furor after Stallion’s 2021 BET Award sweep.

See what he said that caused a firestorm of controversy among the #Hotties.
