Accompanying the release of “Cobra” was an electrifying music video that vividly depicted Megan’s transformation. In a mesmerizing scene, the artist emerged from the jaws of a venomous cobra, symbolizing her ability to rise above adversity. At another point in the video, Megan found herself encased in a glass box, surrounded by spectators, as she shed layers of her skin, much like a snake undergoing a transformation.
Just a month before the release, Megan and her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, reached a settlement in their contractual dispute, amicably parting ways, as reported by Variety. A mere week before this resolution, the 28-year-old rapper declared on Instagram Live that she was taking the reins of her music career’s financial aspect.
The lyrics of “Cobra” delve into Megan’s mental struggles and her unwavering determination to navigate life’s challenges. She shares her inner turmoil with lines like, “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,” giving listeners a glimpse into her personal journey.
In a harrowing episode in July 2020, Megan Thee Stallion became the victim of gun violence when rapper Tory Lanez shot her in the foot. Lanez was subsequently found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Megan candidly discussed the trauma and its aftermath in an essay for Elle in August 2023, emphasizing her transformation from a victim to a survivor.
Megan’s remarkable journey in the music industry has been nothing short of extraordinary. She graced Forbes’ prestigious 30 Under 30 list four years ago and was featured on the cover of Time Inc. in November 2022.
The interview hinted at exciting prospects, including a world tour, her third studio album, and a Netflix deal to produce a range of shows, including a comedy inspired by her childhood. Additionally, Time Inc. is investing $3 million to create a documentary about the rapper’s life.
“Cobra” marks Megan Thee Stallion‘s triumphant return as a solo artist, following her 2022 sophomore album, “Traumazine,” which made a strong debut at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. This album included chart-topping hits like “Sweetest Pie” with Dua Lipa and “Pressurelicious” with Future, solidifying her place in the music industry.
