Turn up. Have a good time.’ He gives me the more hot girl advice.” On the other hand, Beyoncé is more about sage words of wisdom. “She’s like, ‘look queen, just rise above’,“ Megan adds. “She says it the nicer way.” Elsewhere in the interview, Megan also discusses the inspiration for the track “Body” from her debut album, Good News, which was released just last month. “The hook literally came from me dancing in the mirror admiring my fluff,” she explains. “That’s how we wrote the song. It’s definitely about people just celebrating their bodies.” Watch Megan Thee Stallion’s Late Show interview below.
