Announcement of New Single ‘Neva Play‘
BTS’ RM and Megan Thee Stallion have confirmed their collaboration for the new single “Neva Play (feat. RM).” The announcement has been met with enthusiasm from fans of both artists. Megan Thee Stallion took to social media to express her excitement about the project, stating, “This is one of the best lyrics I’ve ever heard from RM.

Megan also shared the hashtag #MEGJOON along with the single’s cover art, signalling a fun and engaging connection between the two artists.
Fan Reactions and Speculations
The collaboration has sparked significant interest among fans, especially after BigHit Music, BTS’ management company, reposted Megan Thee Stallion’s announcement on social media. The post included emojis of a hedgehog and a koala, which fans quickly connected to BTS’ BT21 stickers, where RM is represented by a hedgehog and Megan’s blue hair could be linked to the koala character. This has led to speculation that the track might be associated with the upcoming film ‘Sonic The Hedgehog 3,’ although no official confirmation has been provided.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the release of “Neva Play,” with many hoping that the song will feature a blend of both artists’ signature styles. The anticipation is further fueled by the successful past collaborations between Megan Thee Stallion and BTS, particularly their remix of BTS’ hit song “Butter.”
