Megan Thee Stallion was seen out with soccer player Romelu Lukaku amid breakup rumors with Pardi. Saweetie & YG seemingly confirm their relationship. Both Peso Pluma and Bizarrap have been sharing teasers of their upcoming collab on their socials. We followed TOMORROW X TOGETHER as they prepared for night 1 of their shows at UBS […]

It feels like Hot Girl Summer is just around the corner, and Megan Thee Stallion is kicking the season off with some sizzling selfies.

The “Savage” rapper took to Instagram on Tuesday (May 2) to share a slew of photos in which she’s seen posing in a sleek crochet two-piece set, a colorful maxi dress, a bedazzled cut-out gown, a tropical swimsuit and so much more, all while rocking a gorgeous naturally curly hairdo. The OG Hot Girl captioned the post with a simple camera emoji and, at the time of publication, the post already has more than one million likes.

Back in March, Meg teased a new album at the Vanity Fair Oscar party — much to fans’ excitement. When asked by Entertainment Tonight about the possibility of new music on the way, the rapper replied, “Oh I am, new album, f–k y’all hoes, bye!” before walking away with a laugh.

A new full-length project would serve as a follow-up to her 2022 sophomore effort Traumazine, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and contained hit singles “Sweetest Pie” with Dua Lipa, “Plan B,” “Pressurelicious” featuring Future, “Her” and the Key Glock-assisted “Ungrateful.”

One person who’d be down to collaborate with Meg on upcoming music is Shania Twain, who revealed at the 2023 CMT Music Awards that the two got acquainted when the rapper presented her with the Equal Play Honor at the show. “I love her… what a sweetheart!” Twain said of the “Thot S—” rapper. “I think that [a collaboration] would really work… I love her whole mind.”

Megan Thee Stallion talks about her traumatic experience one last time and has much to say.
In an Elle Magazine cover feature, Megan Thee Stallion told the iconic publication she didn’t think she would be the victim of harassment for simply telling the truth.

In her first interview since Tory Lanez was found guilty on all charges of shooting her in 2020, she told Elle, “It never crossed my mind that people wouldn’t believe me.”

“Still, I knew the truth and the indisputable facts would prevail. I had worked way too hard to reach this point in my career to let taunts deter me. When the guilty verdict came on Dec. 23, 2022, it was more than just vindication for me. It was a victory for every woman who has ever been shamed, dismissed, and blamed for a violent crime committed against them,” she continued.
Megan Thee Stallion Had Time For Her Haters
Tina Snow also pointed out how her attacker and rumored boo at the time “laughed and joked about my trauma” and tried “to leverage social media to take away my power.”
The Traumazine crafter was not done. She also called out other Hip-Hop artists, talking heads, and social media for making fun of her situation. Looking at you, 50 Cent, DJ Akademiks, 21 Savage, and Drake.
“I could have let the adversity break me, but I persevered, even as people treated my trauma like a running joke,” she told Elle.
“First, there were conspiracy theories that I was never shot. Then came the false narratives that my former best friend shot me. Even some of my peers in the music industry piled on with memes, jokes, and sneak disses, and completely ignored the fact that I could have lost my life. Instead of condemning any form of violence against a woman, these individuals tried to justify my attacker’s actions,” the Houston rapper continued.
She Will No Longer Be Talking About The Incident After This Interview
Megan Thee Stallion has been front and present since her break from the world immediately following Lanez’s well-deserved guilty verdict. She notes that this interview with Elle will be her final time discussing the trial and the incident.

“I understand the public intrigue, but for the sake of my mental health, I don’t plan to keep reliving the most traumatic experience of my life over and over again. I’m choosing to change the narrative because I’m more than just my trauma.”
We understand.
While she is living her best life and looking good as hell doing so, Tory Lanez is struggling to get a second trial.

Welp.

Megan Thee Stallion is continuing to live her best damn life.
The proud Houstonian threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Houston Astros home opener on Thursday night, March 30, at Minute Maid Park.
Before she hit the diamond and took the mound, looking like a goddess in dress in all-white while wearing a custom Houston Astros jersey with Pete, her last name, and the number “222” on the back, the “Savage” rapper was practicing throwing strikes beneath the stadium according to the announcer.
While making her way to the mound, the Houston did note that she was nervous and took a moment before delivering the first pitch to David Hensley, which was just a little outside, landing in the left-handed batter’s box. Hensley showing off his second and third baseman skills, was able to scoop up the pitch quickly.
To seal the deal, Thee Stallion blessed Hensely and Orbit, the Astros’ iconic mascot, with a hug.

No, her pitch wasn’t perfect, but it was damn sure better than other first pitches from other Hip-Hop stars. Looking at you, 50 Cent.

The hotties were happy to see their queen hit the pitcher’s mound to throw out the first pitch at a professional baseball game while her shooter, Tory Lanez, tries to find a way to get his conviction thrown out. 
We are all happy to see Megan Thee Stallion in good spirits again after going through the ordeal she went through, with people calling her a liar and blaming Roc Nation and everyone else except the actual person that shot her.

You can see the reaction to her first pitch in the gallery below.

As expected, the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper didn’t disappoint with her Roach-curated look, a gold vintage 1997 Paco Rabanne that was originally worn by Yasmeen Ghauri. The stylist revealed at the event that the outfit was remade “months and months and months ago” by the house’s Julien Dossena. 

Meg added her flair to the look with her natural, voluminous curls as well as a sleek cat-eye makeup look and long, golden nails.

“What can I say about Law?” Meg told THR of her fashionable peer. “He’s the best. Like, I’m so upset that he’s going away right now because I need him. The world needs him. But he’s amazing, and we appreciate him so much. We don’t have a business relationship. It’s more like family. I’m still going to bother him, and he’s not going to stop being my family. He’s just not going to be in my closet.”

The event comes just a week after Roach announced his retirement from personal styling, explaining on Instagram that the decision came because “the politics, the lies and false narratives” finally got him. “You win,” he shared. “I’m out.”

The long-running Pride festival in Los Angeles, California will have two superstar headliners this year – Megan Thee Stallion and Mariah Carey.
The organizers of Pride In The Park announced on Tuesday (March 28th) that the R&B legend and the Hip-Hop star will be the featured headliners for the flagship event for Southern California’s LGBTQ+ community.

Carey shared the flyer for the festival on her Twitter account with fans, writing: “I’m thrilled and honored to be a part of LA Pride 2023! I am happy to be back in person celebrating with the LGBTQIA+ community here in Southern California and throughout all of the lands!!! Let’s come together to celebrate love, inclusion, and Pride.”

“I can’t wait to headline LA Pride in the Park and celebrate the phenomenal LGBTQIA+ community,” Megan Thee Stallion said when contacted by the press. “This incredible event advocates for diversity, inclusivity, and equality, so I’m honored to perform and have a blast with all of the Hotties in attendance.”
“Having two women of color headline the event was very intentional,” said Gerald Garth, the board president of L.A. Pride. “Both have been groundbreaking in their own rights by centering women’s empowerment. Mariah’s been a fan favorite among the LGBT community for decades, and she’s been a great friend and supporter, and Megan is the same.” Other performers at the festival have yet to be announced.
The festival will take place in Los Angeles State Historic Park in the Chinatown neighborhood from June 9th to June 11th with Megan Thee Stallion as the headliner for the 9th, and Carey as the headliner on the 10th. The festival precedes the annual Los Angeles Pride Parade that will take place in Hollywood on the 11th, which is a Sunday. 
It returns after a bit of turbulence, with the 50th-anniversary edition of the festival having to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions about the commitment to racial and gender inclusiveness by the Christopher Street West Association, L.A. Pride’s parent group, also led to two separate festivals being held last year – one in West Hollywood and the other in Chinatown.

Megan Thee Stallion took an understandable break from the world, but now she is back and putting us on notice.
The Hot Girl’s leader is back. Megan Thee Stallion ended her social media hiatus during Oscars weekend, showing up at Vanity Fair Oscars Party looking G O O D. Still, she wasn’t done blowing our minds and tantalizing our senses.

She followed up her Oscars Party glam by dropping a series of Instagram photos of herself in a bikini, showing off her killer, toned curves while sporting a more natural look, rocking the hair she was born with and a makeup-less fresh face.
In the first photo, the 28-year-old Houston rapper is rocking a hot pink bikini top while showing off those beautiful natural burls and a fresh face to match.
In the second picture, she is sitting on a bed wearing a colorful cutout Miaou one-piece bathing, giving her fans a very inviting look.
She comes in hot in the third photo in the gallery, rocking some Nike athletic gear while it begs the question, what waist? While showing us that while she was gone from social media, her mental health was not the only thing she was working on during her time away from the limelight.

The Hotties React To All Natural Megan Thee Stallion
The fourth photo is another jaw-dropper as the “Savage” rapper rocks a similar bathing suit while looking gorgeous on a beach.
The hotties immediately noticed the theme and began showering their favorite rapper with compliments.
“Megan thee stallion really disappeared for months and had the audacity to come out looking that fine. The hair .. the dress .. the face.. the body. She slapped me in the face so hard,” one user wrote on Twitter. 
Another tweet read, “no one told me megan thee stallion looked like TAHT i never seen her without makeup damn she’s stunning.”
No lies detected.

2. Step into the greatness

We must do more to protect Black women in our culture.
Following recent remarks against Rihanna and the multitude of abuse Megan Thee Stallion has faced, it behooves me to speak up about the gross misogynistic, catty attitudes that these — and so many other — women deal with regularly. Women are being exploited in the social media vacuum, and Black women in particular are being besieged across the internet, television and the real world. Worst of all, they are being and demeaned by Black men. What kind of brothers are we to treat our sisters this way?

Black women often experience different forms of hatred disguised as an opinion. Let’s take the most recent camouflage of what ESPN loudmouth Stephen A. Smith said about the icon Ms. Rihanna Fenty. Her sincere supporters and dedicated fans have been waiting over six years for her to return to music, yet when Smith was on TV and asked about Rihanna returning and performing at the Super Bowl, he felt compelled to answer such a softball question with an unwarranted comparison: “She ain’t Beyoncé.”

This was a cowardly action. It was done in very poor taste with no type of decorum, blatantly disrespecting Ms. Rihanna as she preps for the Super Bowl halftime show — the biggest stage in the world. She and Beyoncé are both iconic in their own right. So why the need to compare these Black female artists and entrepreneurs? Who wastes their breath debating whether Michael Jackson is better than Prince? They are two different artists, but equally pop culture icons.

Smith later tried to clean up his mess with an apology. But his statement of disrespect is cemented on the internet, while too many of us have already moved on. Even if we do not forgive, we should not be so quick to forget. There are a lot of cowards who hide behind their platforms and feel compelled to say something — anything — to stay relevant. So, they come at our Black women with no regard for their feelings or significance to our culture. But what about the rest of us? What’s being done to curb such behavior? Why is it that Black men are mostly saying and doing nothing? It’s unbelievable.

Consider also Megan The Stallion, who was forced to face malicious attacks against her character and her truth that she was shot — all while she herself was trying to digest and process the whole trauma. Megan has been forced to endure hatred and vicious ridicule. All of this could have easily coerced her into staying silent — a form of violence in itself. Sadly, here’s another example of a Black woman who wasn’t protected or supported by the multitude of real Black men. That is unequivocally egregious and unacceptable.

Social media has connected us but also disconnected us from life in a vain, disruptive and distracted way. It’s The Matrix and we can’t unplug. If you’re not on social media, you are uninformed; if you are on social media, you’re misinformed! Whether it’s in the comments section or people speaking out on their own, the most profound direct attacks are often targeted at Black women. As if Black women have not been to hell and back already. We need to celebrate and protect our Black women at all costs. Yet Black men with a voice or platform deliberately go out of their way to demean them. Wading through all the attacks, buffoonery and coonery is exhausting and demoralizing. What’s happening to Black power and pride?

We must eradicate all this hatred and torture and it’s imperative that we step up to improve cultural conditions for not just high-profile celebrities but all Black women. Such demeaning and hatred can spark real-life violence. In 2020, five Black women and girls were murdered every day in the United States, according to an investigation by The Guardian released last summer. Beyond physical violence, these women’s mental health also must be preserved.

Black women have been and still are fighting for themselves. The rest of us — particularly Black men — however, need to step up and join them. Let’s show how unacceptable this kind of behavior is: Empower and support the positive female voices out there, and next time Stephen A. Smith or another like him baselessly degrades our women, those of us with a platform of influence ought to speak up, hold him responsible and make him take accountability. We do it four our Black mothers, our Black wives, our Black daughters, our Black friends and we do it for ourselves. Because, by doing so, we will be protecting our culture as well.
