MEGAN Thee Stallion is working on new music.

The 28-year-old rap star – whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete – released her second studio album Traumazine in August last year, but after joking that she managed to get tickets to Beyoncé’s upcoming Renaissance World Tour by simply calling the superstar directly, teased that she is working on what will be her third record.

Speaking at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, she told Entertainment

Tonight: “Oh I’m gonna tell you how I got them [tickets]. Oh, baby, you know I called Beyoncé directly.

“You know Beyoncé is my aunty. This is my first night out and I am here! Oh, and I am (working) on a new album!”

The Sweetest Pie hitmaker has enjoyed huge success over recent years and even though towards the end of 2022 she had to endure a trial which saw Tory Lanez found guilty of shooting her and eventually jailed, she explained around the same time that she doesn’t have time to “slow down” in her career as she insisted that she wants to continue telling stories through art.

She shared: “I can’t slow down right now. I’ll take a break when I’m dead. I’m trying to really build something. When I start sitting, I feel like I’m not doing enough or I’m giving somebody else the opportunity to pass me.

“I definitely want to be an actress, but I also really want to be a director. I love movies and I’m definitely a film buff. I like to create. Not only do I like to write music, I like to write stories. I definitely want to see these stories come to life.”
