Singer Megan Thee Stallion has opened up about her mental health in her first solo song ‘Cobra’.
In a new release Cobra, the rapper said that she hit “rock bottom” and cried every night after the 2020 shooting in which she was shot in the foot. In August, Canadian rapper Tory was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The song is Megan’s first release as an independent artist after a legal dispute with former record label. Referring to the shooting, Megan raps: “Every night I cried, I almost died. And nobody close tried to stop me…
“At night, I’m sittin’ in a dark room thinkin’.
“Probably why I always end up drinkin’
“Yes, I’m very depressed.”
Her lyrics also touch on missing her deceased parents, struggling with anxiety and infidelity. Explaining the theme in an Instagram post, she said that cobras “exemplify courage and self-reliance”.
Cobra is the first track released by Megan’s Hot Girl Productions, following her going independent after severing ties and settling a lawsuit with 501 Certified Entertainment over her contract.
