The news of Butter remix release comes from the South Korean K-pop group, BTS itself. They took to their official Twitter handle and shared the joyful news with fans. The group tweeted, "#BTS #방탄소년단 Butter (feat. Megan Thee Stallion). 2021.08.27. 1PM (KST) | 12AM (ET) #BTS_Butter @theestallion. Stallion also expressed her excitement on the micro-blogging site as she tweeted, "Y’all don’t even understand how excited I am." 

According to Variety, the documents that were filed on Tuesday in Harris County, Texas, Megan Thee Stallion has filed a plea against her record label, 1501 Certified Entertainment and its CEO Carl Crawford, alleging that they were preventing her from releasing the track. As written in the court filing, the award-winning singer is seeking 'emergency relief from the Court before this Friday,' to allow her new music to be released this week as it was initially scheduled. The report suggests that Stallion also argues that blocking the release of the track will cause 'irreparable damage' to her musical career. 

This isn't the first time that Stallion has had a legal disagreement with her record label. The rapper had sued them in 2020 for alleged preventing her from releasing her EP titled Suga. Her Butter remix comes a few days after fellow American group, Pentatonix released their Butter X Dynamite mash-up cover. The group is known for their impressive covers of hit songs, and has been highly praised by BTS ARMY. 

BTS Butter, which is BTS' second English song, was initially released in May this year. Butter had become the most viewed music video on YouTube within just 24 hours of its release. The track broke records as it topped various charts including Billboard Hot 100. Butter also entered the Guinness World Records for being the most streamed song on Spotify within 24 hours of its release.
