"Beyoncé probably so tired of me saying her name," the "Traumazine" rapper joked while chatting with ELLE Magazine earlier this month.

Along with her ELLE Magazine cover shoot earlier this month, Megan Thee Stallion put together a thoughtful essay reflecting on her recovery after the Tory Lanez shooting. The Suga hitmaker made it abundantly clear that she no longer plans to address the situation in the press, and instead will be pouring her energy into healing in private. While that piece certainly caught the public's attention, Meg also gave the outlet a more lighthearted interview, during which she spoke about past wins in her career, such as working with Beyoncé on the "Savage (Remix)."

"Beyoncé probably so tired of me saying her name," the 28-year-old joked when reflecting on the making of their joint effort. "So, we were in quarantine at this time. [She] did the remix, I didn’t believe she was actually gonna do it, but she did it and my mind was blown," Thee Stallion excitedly shared. "I called my granny, me and my manager was in my living room going crazy." The moment was obviously major, but before the mother of three would sign off on the track's release, she had a request for Megan.

"[She asked me], 'Could you please make your verse like a little bit cleaner?’ I went in my living room and I recorded it right then," the multi-talent gushed to ELLE. "Beyoncé didn't have to tell me twice, I sent that verse right back!" Thee Stallion went on to note that the entire experience was "amazing," and that she's always been "obsessed" with the RENAISSANCE vocalist. "When I got the collab, like being from Houston with her, I was just appreciative."

On top of working with Beyoncé, Megan Thee Stallion also says that seeing the public's reaction to the song, and how much celebrity support it got, was an incredible feeling. "When I saw people dancing to the song, vibing to it, loving it... I was like, ‘Oh my God, y’all know me!" she humbly admitted.
