Megan Thee Stallion Breaks Ceiling With “Cobra” Views On YouTube
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Megan Thee Stallion’s latest video, “Cobra,” has broken a record on YouTube for most views in 24 hours by a solo female rap artist.
The video garnered 2.15 million views the day after its release on Nov. 5, and as of publication, the visual has over 4.4 million views.
In the Douglas Bernardt-directed work, Meg tells a story about her past from over the years — which includes: losing her parents and grandmother, experiencing a breakup with ex-boyfriend Pardison Fontaine, concluding a three-year case over being shot in the foot, and also settling a lawsuit with her former 1501 label.
She raps, “Breakin’ down and I had the whole world watchin’/ But the worst part is really who watched me/ Every night I cried, I almost died/ And nobody close tried to stop me/ Long as everybody gettin’ paid, right?/ Everything’ll be okay, right?/ I’m winnin,’ so nobody trippin’/ Bet if I ever fall off, everybody go missin.”
In the cinematic video, a “re-born” Megan emerges from a venomous Cobra as she not only sheds her old skin, but also her past tribulations. She’s standing in her “truth” as she mentions being “depressed,” not being able to trust people, and even catching an ex of hers receiving fellatio in her home.
“Never thought a bi**h like me would ever hit rock bottom/ Man, I miss my parents, way too anxious, always cancel my plans/ Pulled up, caught him cheatin,’/ Gettin’ his d*ck sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’/ Lord, give me a break, I don’t know how much more of this sh*t I can take,” she candidly raps.
“Cobra” follows the Houston Hottie’s recent release “Out Alpha The Alpha” from Dicks: The Musical, in which she also stars. The film premiered on Oct. 6. The single also is Meg’s first solo song of 2023 under her own label, Hot Girl Productions, following settling a lawsuit with former label 1501 Certified Entertainment.
The 28-year-old also spoke on what fans can expect from her musically with Billboard.
“This part of my album is very much so funded by Megan Thee Stallion because we’re trying to get off… Y’all know what’s the tea. But I have no label right now,” she said. “We’re doing everything funded straight out of Megan Thee Stallion’s pockets. So, the budget is coming from me. Motherf**king Hot Girl Productions!”
She added, “The next sh*t y’all about to see is all straight from Megan Thee Stallion’s brain and Megan Thee Stallion’s wallet. We are in my pockets, hotties, so let’s do our big one.”
