In a second post, Megan was depicted in a tank of water, wearing a bodysuit patterned with the backdrop from her album cover.

Fans speculated that the singer was either releasing a new album, new single or deluxe version of Good News, but a third post announced: “Megan Thee Stallion is recharging!

“Due to the demands of the Hot Girl lifestyle, Meg has now entered a period of regeneration to prepare for what’s next.”

It continued: “In her absence, [management] will manage all social posting on behalf of Thee Hot Girl Coach. Thee Hotties lead a brave resistance in anticipation for the return of their Fearless Captain!”

Megan’s fans celebrated her decision to take a break, with one comment reading: “Well that’s one way of saying that you’re going on vacation or need a break. Good on you!”

“Hot Girls need their rest too!” another commenter wrote.
