Pop royalty Beyonce has teamed up with rap star Megan Thee Stallion to release a remixed version of the latter’s hit “Savage,” with the proceeds benefiting a disaster relief organization in Houston providing meals during the coronavirus pandemic.
The two superstar natives of the Texas metropolis dropped the track to much fanfare on social media, as people desperate for contact remain home-bound to halt the infection’s spread.
“listening to Beyonce rap again is the closest thing to human touch I’ve felt in 8 weeks,” tweeted Aaron Edwards, co-host of the traveling show Pop-Up Magazine.
Megan Thee Stallion originally released “Savage” in March on her EP “Suga,” with the song quickly going viral on TikTok thanks to an accompanying dance challenge.
Beyonce had already donated six million dollars through her foundation to community organizations and mental health support in the hard-hit cities of Houston, New York, New Orleans and Detroit.
And in early April, Megan Thee Stallion announced a partnership with Amazon Music to donate tablets to nursing home residents in Houston.
