Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa tease lustful lovers on new song ‘Sweetest Pie’
The rapper and singer play seductresses in fantasy worlds in the 'Sweetie Pie' music video
Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa have released their new collaboration, ‘Sweetest Pie’.
The song, which is due to appear on Stallion‘s second album, hears the duo tease lovers about taking a bite from the “sweetest pie” – aka their bodies. It comes with a Dave Meyers-directed video, which was conceptualised by Stallion, and places the pair in fantasy lands performing as different seductresses while men battle it out for their affection.
‘Sweetest Pie’ will appear on Stallion’s forthcoming album, the release details and tracklisting of which have not yet been shared.
Last month, Stallion gave an update on what to expect from new material and hinted at the collaboration from “somebody you might know”, adding that it was going to be “fire”.
The new collaboration comes ahead of Stallion appearing on an episode of Lipa‘s ‘At Your Service’ podcast where they will discuss the song, activism, misogyny and other topics.
Earlier this month Stallion announced a VR concert tour called ‘Enter Thee Hottieverse’. Fans can watch the show at the cinema where they will wear a VR headset called “Hottie Mounted Displays”.
The rapper is scheduled to perform at a number of festivals this summer including Reading & Leeds, Manchester’s Parklife, Wireless at Finsbury Park and Longitude in Dublin. She’ll make further appearances at Coachella, Barcelona’s Primavera Sound among other events.
Meanwhile, Lipa is facing a second copyright lawsuit over her single ‘Levitating’ less than a week after a Florida-based reggae band claimed that she plagiarised their material.
Last week it was reported that Artikal Sound System filed a case in a Los Angeles Court, claiming that the singer ripped the track from their 2017 song ‘Live Your Life.’
Now, songwriters L. Russell Brown and Sandy Linzer have accused Lipa of copying their 1979 track ‘Wiggle and Giggle All Night’ and 1980 song ‘Don Diablo’, according to Billboard.
In a complaint filed Mach 4 in Manhatten federal court, they said the opening of Lipa’s hit song was a “duplicate” of their melody.
“Defendants have levitated away plaintiffs’ intellectual property,” lawyers for Brown and Linzer wrote in the complaint. “Plaintiffs bring suit so that defendants cannot wiggle out of their willful infringement.”
