Late afternoon, the internet was set ablaze when a former videographer for Megan Thee Stallion charged her with a lawsuit accusing her of some eyebrow-raising things that the Houston rapper vehemently denies.
NBC News first broke the news of the 42-page complaint brought by Megan Thee Stallion’s former videographer, Emilio Garcia, accusing the Houston rapper of “harassment, creating a hostile work environment and violating labor codes.”
The one claim that had the internet talking was Garcia allegedly being forced to watch Thee Stallion have sex with another woman while riding in a moving vehicle while on tour in Ibiza, Spain, in June 2022.
Per Huffpost:
“Plaintiff could not get out of the car as it was both moving and he was in the middle of nowhere in a foreign country. Plaintiff was embarrassed, mortified and offended throughout the whole ordeal,” according to the suit.
The following day, Megan demeaned Garcia and told him, “Don’t ever discuss what you saw.”
“Stallion berated and directed her fat-shaming comments towards plaintiff such as ‘Fat Bitch,’ ‘Spit your food out,’ and ‘You don’t need to be eating,’” the lawsuit says.
Garcia began working for Roc Nation, which manages Megan, as the rapper’s personal cameraman in 2018. In 2019, he quit his other job and switched to full-time employment, working for Megan for more than 50 hours a week.
The website also notes that Roc Nation initially hired Garcia before working full-time for Megan Thee Stallion, earning $4,000 monthly and becoming an independent contractor.
He also claims he was not given meal breaks or rest periods and was forbidden from doing outside work.
Megan Thee Stallion Slams The Accusations
Immediately after the news broke, Megan Thee Stallion slammed the accusation through a statement from her lawyer, Alex Shapiro.
“This is an employment claim for money — with no sexual harassment claim filed and with salacious accusations to attempt to embarrass her,” Alex Spiro tells Page Six exclusively. “We will deal with this in court.”
The social media streets are talking and, of course, joking about the matter. You can see those reactions in the gallery below.

Megan Thee Stallion is in her rebirth phase, and to celebrate, she bared all on the cover of Women’s Health magazine and left us all collectively saying, D A M N.
Showing off her finely tuned physic, Megan Thee Stallion graced the cover of Women’s Health’s “The Body Issue.” The senses tantalizing cover debuted on Wednesday, Apr. 10, and, as expected, set social media timelines ablaze.
On the cover, Megan Thee Stallion stuns in the suit she was born in, with wavy jet-black hair and her leg ideally in place to keep things tasteful.
In the post on Instagram showing off the cover, Women’s Health wrote in the caption:
“Megan @theestallion has changed ⚡️ She’s a new woman—in both mind and body—thanks to a period of transformation, which included learning how to become the ultimate hype woman for herself. Now, with her third album on the way, hip-hop’s it girl is in her strongest era yet. “I want to see myself grow and be better than I am right now,” she tells WH. “And I will. I know I will.”
As for the cover story, the Houston rapper touched on her new approach to her health, revealing she has ditched brown liquor and other sugary drinks. Still, if she does consume alcohol, it’s only tequila and drinking a gallon of water daily.
The 29-year-old Hip-Hop star also touched on her healthy eating habits, including pan-seared salmon for lunch. For dinner, she enjoys potatoes, cod, and sea bass, while if she feels the need to snack on something, cucumber slices with salt and pepper and cherry tomatoes with balsamic vinaigrette dressing are her go-to snacks.
Combine that with her new workout routine, and you will get the Thee Stallion you see today.
Megan Thee Stallion Touches On Her Mental Health Challenges
Of course, Megan Thee Stallion also touched on her mental health, which she also worked hard on improving following the tumultuous months after Tory Lanez shot her in the foot.
The “Hiss” rapper credited her therapist for helping her achieve mental clarity. She also admits how challenging at times dealing with her mental health was.
“A lot of people didn’t treat me like I was human for a long time,” Thee Stallion said. “I feel like everybody was always used to me being the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down, and be confused about their expectations of me. As a Black woman, as a darker Black woman, I also feel like people expect me to take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and handle it with grace. But I’m human.”
We love this version of Megan Thee Stallion.

Rumors of plastic surgery work revolving around your favorite celebs are nothing new. Megan Thee Stallion is the latest curvaceous rapper many are speculating of benefiting from plastic surgery, but she is calling C A P on claims of a nose job.
Have you seen Megan Thee Stallion lately? She looks absolutely amazing since she defeated Tory Lanez in court, shut down her haters, and left 1501 Certified Entertainment to become an independent artist.
The Houston rapper attributes her new shape to her hard work in the gym, which she shares plenty of video footage on her IG account, discrediting claims from her ex, Pardison Fontaine, that she got lipo.
Some people believe that the “Hiss” rapper got a nose job, and she is calling C A P on those claims via her IG Stories.
Per HipHopDX:
In an Instagram livestream on Monday (April 8), the rapper denied that she had any work done on her nose.
She said: “They be like, ‘Oh my gosh, she got her nose done.’ Y’all hoes wish I got my nose done…Y’all hoes need to comprehend how much recovery surgery take. Y’all need to comprehend the recovery time surgery take.”
She added: “I’ve been in your sh*t since 2017. At what point in life I had time to lay down and let you hoes breathe? Keep up, hoe.”
Well, there you have it.

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s husband, has gone viral after updating his photo on the sex offender registry recently.
The web was buzzing as Kenneth Petty, the husband of rap superstar Nicki Minaj, recently updated his photograph on the state of California’s website of registered sex offenders. The updated photo was a necessity as Petty’s sentence of house arrest ended. The Megan’s Law website operated by the state of California has Petty’s status as an offender as well as personal data including his age and date of birth along with the reason for his previous conviction and aliases. Petty recently served a period of house arrest for threatening Offset.
Petty’s status comes as a result of being found guilty in an attempted first-degree rape of a 16-year-old girl, which occurred in 1995. He was sentenced to four years in jail. He ran afoul of the law in 2019 after moving to California with Nicki Minaj before their marriage. For that offense, he was sentenced to three years of probation and a year of house arrest for failing to notify the state of his status when he arrived, which was discovered after he was pulled over at a traffic stop. He also had to shell out $20,000 in fines.
Nicki Minaj has been on record defending her husband, claiming that he was wrongfully accused and going so far as to say that the alleged victim was willing to walk back her claims. “When the alleged accuser wrote a letter to the judge asking to recant the statements she was told that she would go to jail for 90 days, allegedly, if she recants the statement,” she said on her Queen Radio show hosted by Apple Music.
Petty’s status fueled a scorching set of bars by Megan Thee Stallion in her song “Hiss” earlier this year. “These hoes don’t be mad at Megan, these hoes mad at Megan’s Law/ I don’t really know what the problem is, but I guarantee y’all don’t want me to start,” she rapped, initiating a serious beef with Nicki Minaj by referencing the legislation documenting all sex offenders and named after Megan Kanka, who was killed in 1994 by a previous offender. In addition, a former security guard reportedly won a default judgment last month against Petty and Nicki Minaj after accusing them of assaulting him backstage with the couple potentially owing the man $500,000.

That’s right hotties, this summer will be a hot one, and we’re not just talking about the heat. Megan Thee Stallion is hitting the road for a national/international tour.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Booked & Busy
Megan Thee Stallion has been very busy. After reaching an agreement to part ways with 1501 Certified Entertainment, she secured a historic distribution deal with Warner Music Group and retained her masters.
She has also released two records: “Cobra,” in which she allegedly blasted her ex, Pardison Fontaine, for cheating, and “Hiss,” which caused Nicki Minaj and her extremely loyal fanbase to react epically.
Minaj responded with numerous rants on social media and her “Big Foot” diss record, which many considered a dud.
We’re just reporting here.
Megan Thee Stallion has also been a part of two major motion picture releases with Dicks and Mean Girls The All-New Movie.
Earlier this month, her blerd dreams came true when she went to Japan to host the Crunchyroll Anime Awards.
It will truly be the Hot Girl Summer the hotties have deserved for years, and we’re here for it.

Nobody asked for it, but Megan Thee Stallion’s former bestie, Kelsey Nicole Harris, is breaking her silence about the Tory Lanez shooting incident. Unsurprisingly, she isn’t dropping any revelations.
Kelsey Nicole found a microphone to get in front of to talk about the fateful night that her former best friend, Megan Thee Stallion, was shot by Tory Lanez.
In the episode of The Danza Project, which aired on Sunday, March 3, Nicole shared her side of the story because she was present that night and even testifying in the high-profile trial.
Harris told the podcast hosts the night where the “Hiss” rapper was shot was the same time she learned of the “betrayal,” alluding to Thee Stallion sleeping with the now incarcerated Tory Lanez.
Per HipHopDX:
“[I]t did end up coming out that night that she had been betraying me,” she said. “Of course it’s like, damn, why it have to come out like this? You should be able to come to me and say this. That way we can laugh in n-ggas’ faces, not n-ggas laughing at us.”
Kelsey Nicole Doesn’t Know Why She & Megan Thee Stallion Are No Longer Friends
Nicole and The Stallion allegedly being intimate with Lanez is no revelation; she said as much during the trial, but during the interview notes, that was not the cause of their friendship’s end.
“The whole situation of her doing whatever behind my back, that is not why we fell out,” she said.
In fact, she has no idea why she and the Houston rapper are no longer friends.
“It’s so unclear to me why we fell out,” Harris began. “I’m the type of person that likes to communicate things. Some people don’t like to communicate.”
“But you would think when you’re close with this person, and this person is supposed to be your best friend, your family, your sister, that you would be able to talk about these things and agree to disagree.”
Nicole also claims she has PTSD as a result of the shooting.
“I was really going through s**t,” she said. “I really have PTSD from that. Really was depressed. All of that s**t is very real. And, no, I’m human. My pain does matter.”
Of course, X users are commenting on Harris’ sitdown with The Danza Project; you can see those reactions below.

Joe Budden, whose only hit single, “Pump It Up,” finally achieved Gold status in 2023, is weighing in on the current state of “girl Rap:—calling the fan-created sub-sector “over.”
During his most recent episode of the Joe Budden Podcast, the former Love & Hip Hop star called out “girl rappers” while sharing his disdain for the bars after Cardi B released her highly-anticipated song, “Like What.”
“Y’all ain’t gonna want to hear it from me, but the girl rapper wave is over. Just telling you what it is,” Budden said. “The cream rises to the top, so Latto shall remain; Flo Milli shall remain; Rapsody will always be there, but she wasn’t really a part of [that scene]. But all of that, ‘Go find a girl, send her to Columbia, get it done, put her in the studio with f*cking Mike WiLL [Made-It] or any one of them n-ggas’—all that planting the girl in the scene, getting the record and it taking off—that wave is over.”
Budden’s scorching hot take came on the heels of Cardi B’s “Like What (Freestyle),” in which during the show, he suggested that the Bronx-bred MC is “scared” to release her highly-anticipated album over fears of the potential backlash awaiting her.
“Cardi B is afraid, and I’m tired of just nobody saying it,” said Budden. “Cardi B is scared to come out, it don’t take this long to come out.”
While Budden made a few valid points regarding the carbon copy method currently being used by the industry across the board, asserting his opinion when women are dominating and their male counterparts are fighting for their lives and starving for mentors is disingenuous. The continued lack of true concern over the problematic messaging that pushes drug use, violence and misogyny toward women in music and male-only podcast spaces aimed at men is alarming.
It also has to be noted that as a former artist, to see Budden play into the attempt to divide women in Rap from their male counterparts is not only reductive but also divisive in a genre that women had a major hand in co-creating. Then to announce that female rappers are “done” as if you have authority in the space is not only asinine but also egregious because it’s not supported by any facts.
In 2021, Cardi B made history in early March, becoming the first female rapper to have five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Two years after she won Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys. That same year, Megan Thee Stallion picked up three awards, including Best New Artist. Doja Cat and Chika each received Grammy nominations in different categories–during that time and since, the new school of male rappers were absent.
Even though she hasn’t released a full album since 2018, Cardi B has been consistently putting out music. Following the release of Invasion of Privacy, Cardi has dropped six Top 100 singles (“Please Me,” “Hot Sh-t,” “Up,” “Bongos,” “Tomorrow 2 (Remix)” and the highly-decorated single, “WAP”)—which is why Offset took to Instagram to post the caption: “Stop being scary and drop the album s–t goes crazy [fire emoji].”
Regardless of how you feel about the messaging of female artists, for the last five years, women have been leading the pack. When gun violence and drugs were taking out some of Rap’s biggest artists, women were stepping up and making a name for themselves by giving listeners an alternative to murder music. The emboldened sound, reminiscent of the glam girl rap Lil’ Kim created, ushered in a new wave of boss women who weren’t taking any mess—but that’s seemingly why Joey and his band of incels are upset.
To continue to use the “BBL” and “lipo” comments as a rule only for women when men are getting them too—we all saw Funk Flex live in action on the table bumping “CREAM.” Let’s not forget Kanye West and Drake (allegedly)—yet no public slander or mention of it while deducing women in the same genre are doing the same thing as gimmicks, doesn’t make sense. Especially when the gimmick being used on young men is to have “opps” or be drug kingpins and gang leaders.
[embedded content]
The truth is, most of these men with opinions on women in anything need to find a young man to mentor and coach to sub-par-dom, because the whole trying to get clicks off of hating on someone who made it further than you thing is over.

Megan Thee Stallion is the hottest blerd on the planet.
The eighth annual Crunchyroll Anime Awards went down in Tokyo, Japan, on Saturday, March 2, celebrating the fan-favorite anime series, characters, and creators across streaming, film, and music.
Hip-Hop’s most famous anime fan, Megan Thee Stallion, was on hand and a presenter during the awards show. Of course, the Houston hottie understood the assignment, showing up to the awards show rocking a look inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Megan Thee Stallion closed out the award’s show, hitting the stage wearing a dress drawing inspiration directly from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure‘s Bruno Bucciarati.
The look features a corset complimented by a white leather dress with gold detailing, nails, and a jet-black bob.
The “HISS” crafter presented the “Anime of The Year Award” to one of her favorite anime, Jujutsu Kaisen.
Before the Anime Awards, Thee Stallion stepped out and showed off her Gojo Satoru-inspired drip for rehearsals.
The inspiration for the fit is the special-grade sorcerer and teacher from Jujutsu Kaisen. For the look, Thee Stallion rocked fang nails, like the ones she showed off before she hit the world with “HISS,” an icy platinum blonde wig with bangs, a cropped leather turtleneck jacket, matching low rise flared pants, and a blindfold.
She also wears two pairs of glasses in other shots to compliment the look.
Megan Thee Stallion continues to prove that her love and appreciation for anime and cosplay and how she introduces it into her stage swag and personal style is unmatched.
You can hit the gallery below to see why she is Blerd’s dream girl.

Drake is getting blasted on X, formerly Twitter, for showing online support for the currently incarcerated Tory Lanez. In an Instagram Story post, Drake calls for the freedom of Tory Lanez which has sparked a barrage of online criticism.
Drake, 37, shared an image of Tory Lanez to his Story feed with the words under the photo reading “3 You,” which many assume to be suggesting freedom for Lanez. Lanez, 31, was found guilty in 2022 of felony assault for shooting and injuring Megan Thee Stallion. In August of 2023, Lanez was officially sentenced to 10 years behind bars in connection to the matter.
Several Hip-Hop figures and fans on social media seemed to side with Lanez during his legal ordeal with Megan Thee Stallion, with many believing that the shooting incident never took place among other unproven yet heavily discussed theories.
There have also been shots taken via songs towards Megan Thee Stallion, including a perceived shot from Drake on the song “Circo Loco” from his joint album with 21 Savage, Her Loss. However, 21 Savage claims that the Canadian superstar was not pointing his verse in that direction.
Despite that clarification from the Atlanta rapper, some believe that Drizzy holds some manner of animosity towards women rappers and that his support of Tory Lanez qualifies those assumptions. We’ve got reactions from X below.
