So perhaps it should come as no surprise that two of this summer’s hottest artists, [queen of self-love Lizzo](https://time.com/5568320/lizzo-music-album-review/) and the Hot Girl herself, Megan Thee Stallion, linked up this week to bless our timelines with video proof of them living their best lives. In a video shared by Megan on Instagram, the rapper encourages Lizzo to [“drive the boat,” her now-notorious phrase](https://thegrapevine.theroot.com/fever-megan-thee-stallion-will-drive-the-boat-this-sum-1834841891) for encouraging someone to take a sip of liquor as fed by Megan. Megan also shares that they both hail from Houston, Texas before Lizzo drinks a sip of cognac. The pair appear to be in a recording studio, which led many fans to speculate in the comments about a possible collaboration between the two. Their fun wasn’t just limited to driving the boat however; in another video posted by both artists, Lizzo plays the flute to the tune of Two $hort’s 2003 hit, “Shake that Monkey,” while Megan dances. Hot Girl Summer, indeed. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5648188/lizzo-megan-thee-stallion-hot-girl-summer-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5648188/lizzo-megan-thee-stallion-hot-girl-summer-video/"},"headline":"Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion's Friendship Is the Hot Girl Summer Content We Deserve","datePublished":"2019-08-08T21:40:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:59:51.658Z","description":"Name a more iconic duo","url":"https://time.com/5648188/lizzo-megan-thee-stallion-hot-girl-summer-video/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0e8ecfab5446f4b4/698a012a4ee262f426316148/lizzo-megan-thee-stallion-hot-girl-summer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0e8ecfab5446f4b4/698a012a4ee262f426316148/lizzo-megan-thee-stallion-hot-girl-summer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion Hot Girl Summer","caption":"Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion Hot Girl Summer","creditText":"Getty Images (2)","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5648188/lizzo-megan-thee-stallion-hot-girl-summer-video/","name":"Lizzo and Megan Thee Stallion's Friendship Is the Hot Girl Summer Content We Deserve"}}]}] ```
