Weekend one of Coachella may officially be in the books, but thereโs one performer whoโs still the talk of timelines and thatโs none other than Megan Thee Stallion. In fact, her epic set at the music festival has fans pushing for an updated version of Brandyโs popular 1995 hit song โI Wanna Be Down Remixโ and youโll see exactly why once we explain.

As evidenced in various clips floating across social media on Monday, at the popular festival Megan put on a performance of a lifetime, busting out dance moves and rapping effortlessly to a handful of her greatest hits like โThot Sh*t,โ โBody,โ โBigger in Texas,โ โSavage,โ โBig Ole Freak,โ โCognac Queenโ and more. And while her solo acts alone were worthy of praise, it was the surprise guests that she brought out that had folks there in the desert and the ones watching from the comfort of their own home raving and drawing comparisons to the aforementioned 90s jam.
If youโll remember, Brandy was accompanied by Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, and Yo-Yo for the fire remix back then. The four women would come together years later at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards and pay homage to their iconic hit.
But now that fans have seen all the people that Megan brought out to her set, theyโre wanting her and the artists that joined her to do a modern remake. One of those artists included Ciara, who hopped onstage to perform her 2009 hit song โGoodies.โ Not too long after Megan joined her where they both twerked to the latterโs โRoc Steadyโ song off her โMegan Act IIโ album released back in October 2024.
โIf this girl brings out Ciara Iโll flip all this shit over. LOL. #MEGCHELLA,โ wrote one user. (I think itโs safe to assume that this user did indeed flip things over.)
The second guest that Megan brought out was Victoria Monet who performed their joint song โSpinโ off Meganโs third album. She and the โBOAโ rapper shared a sexy moment befor they ended up dancing to Monetโs โOn My Mamaโ together.
โvictoria monet performing โon my mamaโ with megan thee stallion on the coachella MAIN stage tonightโฆโฆโฆ.. iโm smiling big for her,โ said one user on X/Twitter.
Added one other user about the performance: โAfter that Coachella festival Victoria and Megan BETTER link up in the studio and release the hottest women loving women song of all time aka my future new anthem.โ
But what was perhaps the biggest moment of the night was when Megan brought out one of raps biggest icons: Queen Latifah. Thee Queen popped out and showed the crowd how to really bring hip-hop and womenโs empowerment to the stage by performing her hit song โU.N.I.T.Y.โ that was smoothly transitioned from Meganโs song โPlan B.โ
Queen, with her hair laid and vocals sharp, strutted out onstage to major screams and as a result prompted fans everywhere to give the set its props and wish for a yet another โI Wanna Be Downโ to be recorded ASAP.
โMegan, come get your CLOCK! Getting Queen Latifah on your Coachella set, ICONIC things only! Iโm getting my life right now!โ wrote one user on X/Twitter.
โmegan brought out queen latifah, victoria monet and ciara at her coachella show like yall she is INSANEEE,โ said another.
Added another: โMegan thee Stallion bringing out all those rap icons at Coachella makes me wanna see her do a new I wanna be down remix so bad omg.โ
โLet the record be very clear so we donโt have to have certain conversations again: Megan Thee Stallion is a star. She is a student in her craft & continuously elevating each performance. She takes her artistry seriously. The legends love her & recognize it,โ one other user noted.
At this point, Megan getting all these talented artists together on one stage and vibing out immaculately should be all the proof anyone needs to for their to be a โI Wanna Be Downโ part two so hurry up and get in the booth, Meg! Give the people what they want!
