Megan Thee Stallion and Dua Lipa unite to bring their fans a hot girl anthem for 2022, and the music video serves supernatural wickedness.Directed by Dave Meyers and produced by Freenjoy, the video features the 27-year-old rapper and 26-year-old singer as the stunning divas they are with an arachnid twist. When two men wander into a mystical forest, they find the duo's lair hidden amongst trees shaped like women's bodies, and they lure them into their fantastical abode.Of course, once they've been ensnared by the gorgeous women and their delicious cake (see what they did there?), they realize they've been captured by deadly predators.

“Sweetest Pie.”The music video, which dropped on Friday, features a mixture of magical, fanatical vibes and sexy booty-popping.The clip was directed by Dave Meyer and the concept was created by Meg herself.The scene opens with a breathtaking waterfall in a grassy green forest.Megan, 27, and Lipa, 26, then pop up on screen sporting black leather hats and gowns, looking rich.Other shots show the “Levitating” singer and the “Body” rapper dancing in bright bejeweled corsets against pastel-colored Versailles-esque backdrops. The backgrounds are reminiscent of “Hansel and Gretel” meets Marie Antoinette.

Post Malone has disputed claims made by a songwriter who is suing him over his 2019 hit ‘Circles’.Tyler Armes filed a federal lawsuit in California in April 2020, listing Post (real name Austin Post), Post’s producer Frank Dukes and Universal Music Group as defendants, and claims he is seeking co-writer and co-producer credits, as well as prospective and retroactive royalties and other money owed from the ‘Hollywood’s Bleeding’ track.On the same day, Post filed his own suit, with the rapper asking a New York Federal Judge to rule that Armes has no claim to the song’s copyright and did not participate in writing it.“It is an age-old story in the music business that when a song earns the type of runaway success that ‘Circles’ has garnered, and individuals will come out of the woodwork falsely claim to take credit for the song, and demand unwarranted and unearned windfall profits from the song,” reads Malone’s complaint.In a new court filing (via Rolling Stone), Post claims that Armes did not contribute anything “original” to the song, just “an admittedly extremely commonplace guitar chord progression,” and potentially a “fragment of a guitar melody that Armes claims he sung to Post”. Armes claims he was initially offered five per cent of the song’s royalties for his work on ‘Circles’, but that was removed when he tried to negotiate a bigger cut.Post’s new court documents read: “Armes admitted that his contributions did not even rise to the level of originality, which is also required in addition to the fixation requirement.
