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.

The power of 3 has proven itself potent yet again – especially when the award-winning trio is comprised of two powerhouse vocalists, Jessie J and Ariana Grande, as well as Rap Queen Nicki Minaj.

Their 2014 collaboration ‘Bang Bang’ – found aboard J’s third album ‘Sweet Talker’ and Grande’s second album ‘My Everything’ – was a Hot 100 history-making megahit at the height of its popularity, penciled in Billboard records for becoming the third highest-peaking song to feature three or more female acts (bested only by 2001’s ‘Lady Marmalade’ and a two-way tie between 1998’s ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and now 2021’s ’34+35′ remix).

Despite its established list of boasted achievements, the latest refresh of Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) logs reveals the song’s commercial acclaim is enduring nearly 7 years after its release.

Given their history of cranking out top 40 hits (see: Jason Derulo‘s ‘Swalla’ and Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Hot Girl Summer’), Ty Dolla $ign and Nicki Minaj have already proven they have the Midas touch.

Now, with new song ‘Expensive,’ they’re looking to prove it again.

“She’s so expensive, okay / Beemers or the Benzes, okay,” Ty sings on the track. “Lambo or the double R truck, yeah yeah / She gon’ let a superstar f**k.”

The song is assumed to be one of many gems set to line $ign’s forthcoming studio album, ‘Dream House’ (the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Beach House 3’).

Undoubtedly expected to make a splash upon its premiere on the Billboard Hot 100, the gargantuan impact made by Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion‘s joint effort, ‘WAP,’ may be better categorized as a tsunami.

Opening atop the tally with numbers that rival some of music history’s biggest debuts ever, the Ayo the Producer-crafted bop – which largely samples Frank Ski‘s 1992 club anthem ‘Whores in This House’ – was penciled in record books several times over in just its first seven days.
