Beyoncé became a trending topic on Twitter on Wednesday, when Megan Thee Stallion surprise-dropped a remix of her hit song "Savage."

Beyoncé is featured on the new version, which opens with the "Lemonade" singer rapping in a low growl: "Queen B, want no smoke with me / Then turn this motherf---er up 800 degrees."

After Megan Thee Stallion takes over the first verse, Beyoncé adds some "OK" ad-libs to the catchy chorus, which serves as a soundtrack to a popular dance routine on TikTok.

But the real star is what comes next: Beyoncé helms the second verse, where she delivers sharp, racy bars about women stripping on late-night Instagram livestreams, a phenomenon known as "Demon Time," and a subscription service known for nude photos called OnlyFans.

"Hips tik tok when I dance / On that Demon Time, she might start an OnlyFans," she raps. "Big B and that B stands for bands / If you wanna see some real a--, baby, here's your chance."

Later, she pays homage to her famous posterior: "If you don't jump to put jeans on, baby, you don't feel my pain."

Once the "Hot Girl Summer" rapper announced the remix's release, fans immediately began raving about Beyoncé's cheeky verse and masterful delivery, causing her name to start trending worldwide on Twitter — and a slight misspelling of her name to trend at the No. 2 spot.

"Beyoncé is at her hottest and most powerful when she's rapping in that low voice," culture writer and social media manager Justice Namaste opined on Twitter.

Author Michael Arceneaux declared: "Beyoncé, Queen of Rap."

Buzzfeed editor Terry Carter echoed the sentiment: "Beyoncé is one of the greatest rappers alive. Let's have THAT conversation."

"Scandal" actor Kerry Washington also celebrated the remix, which will raise money for coronavirus relief efforts in the two artists' shared hometown of Houston, Texas.
