‘Pardi, Do You Smell What The Rock is Cooking?’: The Rock Reignites Fan Suspicions That He Has a Thing For Megan Thee Stallion After Revealing ‘W.A.P.’ Is His Guilty Pleasure

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is back to causing a social media frenzy with his adoration for Megan Thee Stallion.

The movie star can’t seem to get enough of the Houston Hottie, so much so that social media users are convinced that he is truly is jonesing for Meg. The Rock previously found himself the topic of social chatter when he revealed that if he were a pet, he would want the “Savage” rapper to be his owner. 

Meg’s boyfriend, rapper Pardi, found the “Fast & Furious” actor’s remark comical. In response, he tweeted, “All our dogs is named after #s .. just teach ya wife to use seasoning.. You’ll be iight…Moana is the sh-t tho.” He then doubled down and proved just how unbothered he was by the former WWE star when he wrote, “Of all the things to be worried about y’all think I’m mad at the Rock.”

Now, in a TikTok making its rounds on social media, the Herculean celebrity has yet again turned heads. While speaking with a Much Music correspondent, he was asked what his guilty pleasure song was. He answered, “My guilty pleasure song, “All About That Bass.” But, he quickly added, “No, I’m kidding, it’s ‘W.A.P.’ It’s ‘W.A.P.’ I don’t want to get a divorce though. My wife will watch this.”

The “Traumazine” artist’s fans did not miss out on their opportunity to weigh in on “Black Adam’s” salacious answer. Some people found the “W.A.P.” revelation humorous and a means of antagonizing Pardi.

“Pardi, do you smell what the rock is cooking?” and “He wants to get Pardi riled up again! He’s hilarious!“ read two comments. But, the overwhelming majority of commenters thought The Rock’s answer was far more telling. Those comments included: 

“He really keeps dropping these hints. He wants her so bad”

“Sir you know you wanna say it…just say it ‘I LOVE BLACK WOMEN,’ cause we all do.”

“If shoot ya shot was a married man,” and “Lol I think he really have a thing for Meg. Haha I love the Rock.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
