It was released on May 17, 2019, as the third single off of Megan Thee Stallion's first commercial mixtape, 'Fever'. The track would later peak at number one on Urban radio in the United States, as well as number 36 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100.

'Billboard' magazine ranked "Cash Shit" thirtieth on their 100 Best Songs of 2019 list. 'Complex' named it the eleventh best song of the year, while 'Pitchfork' listed it twelfth on their 100 Best Songs of 2019 list.
Music and lyrics
"Cash Shit" is a hip hop song that features a booming beat. In the intro of the song, Megan raps "Yeah, I'm in my bag, but I'm in his too", a line 'Pitchfork's Rawiya Kameir labeled as "capitalist-feminism". In Megan's opening verse, she twice "interrupts herself and jumps back a few bars to repeat her punchlines". 'Complex's Shawn Setaro said the song contains the "best elements from both artists: Megan's humor and in-your-face sexuality, and DaBaby's flowing triplet rhythms and perfectly timed pauses."
Critical reception
"Cash Shit" received acclaim from critics, with many praising Megan Thee Stallion's and DaBaby's verses. The song was given a "VERY HOTTTTT" rating by Milca P. of 'HotNewHipHop', and was labeled "an effort laced in impalpable swagger and confidence." Writing for 'Tiny Mix Tapes', Eli Schoop praised the song as "downright nasty". In a review of 'Fever' by 'The New York Times', and praised the line "I'm a finesser and I'm a fly dresser/Move to the top floor and flew in my dresser" as "an unlikely image crash landing into a conventional boast". Trent Clark of 'HipHopDX' praised Megan's and DaBaby's performances, saying that the song "highlights why both Southern stars are among the most entertaining rappers out"
The song's production also received praise, with 'The New York Times' calling it "ominous and spacious" and 'The Fader' branding it as "refined".
Music video
Two "much-hyped" music videos were teased, but subsequently abandoned. On July 14, Megan released a trailer via social media (featuring DaBaby) of what appeared to be a trailer for a short film/music video, directed by Hype Williams, titled "Fever Thee Movie". Later in May 2020, Megan confirmed that if her song "Savage" goes number 1 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, she would drop the video/short film.
