The rapper couldn’t quite decide if the viral TikTok treat lived up to the hype — but her face told a whole story anyway.
Megan Thee Stallion is never one to skip out on a food trend, and this week she proved it once again in the most Megan way possible.
A New York City Moment Goes Viral
On Monday, July 13, the 31-year-old rapper brought her followers along for the ride on both Instagram and TikTok as she tested out the buttery dessert that has been dominating social media feeds for weeks. Riding in a car with friends and dressed head-to-toe in blue, Megan admitted upfront that she wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. She hoped the treat would taste as good as it looked, even if the concept itself sounded a little strange on paper.
The clip cut between footage of Megan preparing to taste the cone and behind-the-scenes visuals of a butter ice cream cone being assembled, dripping down the sides in a way she joked didn’t quite match the polished versions circulating online. It’s a familiar internet experience — the reality rarely matches the highlight reel — and Megan was quick to point that out with her signature humor before she’d even taken her first bite.

The Verdict On The Viral Butter Treat
After her first taste, Megan’s expression did most of the talking. She glanced toward the camera, then turned to look out the window, letting out a laugh and an exaggerated sound of hesitation that instantly resonated with fans scrolling their feeds. Still curious, she went back in for a few more licks before studying the cone more closely, clearly weighing her options.
A friend riding along jokingly offered to cancel the rest of the order, but Megan waved off the idea without hesitation. She pointed out that the dessert’s name alone probably explains its entire appeal, playfully acknowledging that at the end of the day, it really is just butter dressed up as something more exciting. Moments later, her tone shifted completely, and she declared the ice cream a perfect score, even going out of her way to sample a friend’s fruit-topped version before ultimately deciding she preferred her original order after all.
Comparing Notes With Friends
The lighthearted exchange highlighted exactly why Megan’s food content resonates so widely with her audience. Rather than offering a polished, overly rehearsed review, she treated her followers to the same real-time uncertainty most people feel when trying an internet-famous food for the very first time. That relatability, paired with her comedic timing, is a huge part of why moments like this one tend to spread so quickly online.
By the video’s end, Megan revealed this wasn’t even her first TikTok food recommendation to try, and she offered up a suggestion of her own for anyone hoping to recreate the experience at home. She believes the dessert would taste even better paired with butter-caramel ice cream rather than the classic vanilla soft-serve base most vendors use. She echoed that sentiment in her caption, giving the treat a passing grade overall while also turning the moment into a chance to crowdsource her next food adventure from fans in the city.
What Comes Next For Megan
The ice cream outing comes on the heels of a major musical milestone for the Houston native. Megan recently lent her voice to DNA (More Than a Game), the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, joining forces with Andrea Bocelli and David Guetta on the collaborative track. The song marks a notable crossover moment, blending Megan’s genre-defying artistry with a global sporting stage.
Between chart-topping projects and viral food adventures, Megan continues to show fans a side of her personality that feels both larger-than-life and completely down-to-earth. It’s that balance — notable achievements paired with relatable, everyday moments like chasing down a TikTok food trend — that keeps her connected to her audience in such a genuine way. Whether she’s dropping a world-stage anthem or reacting to butter-dipped soft serve on camera, Megan continues to prove that authenticity never goes out of style, even for global superstars.
