Fans React to TWICE’s “We’re the Originators” Lyrics in Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Mamushi’ Remix: Is It a Shade to BLACKPINK?

Enthusiasts are buzzing about TWICE’s newly released lyrics featured in their collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion on the remix of the rapper’s acclaimed track, Mamushi. The suspense is palpable as some fans are suggesting that the lyrics might insinuate a rivalry with BLACKPINK. This remix, launched on October 25, 2024, is part of Megan’s latest album, Megan Act II, a deluxe edition following her album released in June 2024.

The new edition comprises 13 freshly added tracks in addition to the original 18. Mamushi, initially featuring Japanese artist Yuki Chiba, quickly became a hit. The anticipation surrounding Megan’s collaboration with TWICE, a celebrated nine-member K-pop girl group, had fans eager to see how the members would enhance this popular tune.

Upon the release of the remix, listeners were quick to engage, enchanted by the group’s verses. Performed by Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu, the lyrics feature lines such as:

“Heard you listen once that make you look twice/ Bad and hot like Meg (Ah), nine stallions on your mind/ All these trophies, we just winnin’ up the price/ Then we sold out your closet like we did at MetLife.”

Continuing, the lyrics also state:

“One spark, baby, ooh-la-la, that’s what we like/ We’re the originators, global entertainers/ Your favorite girl group sings our song screamin’, ‘TWICE.’

These lines have been interpreted by fans as a bold acknowledgment of the group’s dominance in the K-pop sphere and their impact worldwide. By underlining their achievements, such as selling out venues like MetLife Stadium, TWICE reinforces their status as trendsetters who have opened doors for other K-pop acts. One user on X, @iambelcalisb, tweeted,

“Is this a shade to blackpink?”

“Or just confident queens asserting their reign?”another user responded.

“‘We’re the originators’ OH THE BLACKPINK SHADE,”wrote another user on X.

“TWICE bringing the heat as always! The confidence and talent are unmatched—true global queens!” a fan remarked.

While some fans viewed the lyrics as a celebration of TWICE’s achievements, others speculated it could subtly indicate their pioneering status in the genre.

“Love these lyrics! TWICE continues to showcase their influence and talent in the industry can’t wait to vibe to the remix!” another user stated.

“WHOEVER MADE THESE LYRICS ATE BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER, AND SNACKSSSSSS,” wrote an excited user.

“WHO WROTE ITTTTTT so clever,” another fan commented.

Among fan communities, some embraced the competitive edge in the lyrics, perceiving it as a bold affirmation of the group’s ongoing success in a competitive landscape. Conversely, others cautioned against comparing the two groups, emphasizing that both have significantly contributed to the global rise of K-pop.
