Megan Thee Stallion faced significant challenges leading up to the release of her new album 'Megan' due to a last-minute complication with an anime sample. The track in question, 'Otaku Hot Girl,' samples the anime series 'Jujutsu Kaisen' and features a famous quote from Yuji Itadori's English dub voice actor. Megan was forced to re-record the song just days before the album's release, deciding between keeping the anime sample or removing character names mentioned in the album cut. Despite the difficulties, Megan expressed gratitude for the experience, stating, 'I'm grateful, I'm not complaining.' She mentioned having to 'jump through eight million hoops' to get the sample cleared.
