Beyoncé has teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion for a surprise remix of her hit song “Savage” for the benefit of the two stars’ hometown of Houston, Texas.
Since its release on April 7, Stallion’s Savage has already climbed to No. 6 on Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Songs chart and inspired a viral dance on the video-sharing app TikTok. Now, with Beyoncé added to the mix, it’s sure to rise to astronomical heights.
Beyoncé doesn’t hold back on the remix either, adding two full verses as well as backing vocals to the track. Rapping in Stallion’s already established flow, Beyoncé employs her signature tongue-in-cheek lyricism to convey a message of female empowerment.
And, all the hype is for a good cause. With both Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé being Houston natives, the two have announced that they will donate their share of proceeds from the song to Bread of Life Inc., a local organization providing meals for those in need since 1992.
During the coronavirus pandemic, Bread of Life has provided 14 tons of food and supplies to 500 families each week; using their drive-through distribution process. The organization has also been delivering food to 100 senior citizens per week and has worked to hire social workers to assist high-risk individuals.
