I really like Megan Thee Stallion.

I’m not the just one. Women love Megan Thee Stallion. More specifically, I really like Megan Thee Stallion.

There is not even one specific style of black woman that Megan Thee Stallion likes. Black women from all walks of life and all ages love H-Town Hottie.

We not only love her, but we also support her. We’re rooting for her. We feel we are protecting her. We support her. We support her. We want her to win so bad it hurts.

On Saturday, Megan took to Twitter to address a synthetic intelligence-generated sex tape that was circulating online.

“It’s really sick how hard you try to hurt me when you see me winning,” she wrote. “You’re going too far, you fake shit. Just know that today was your last day of fun with me and I mean it.

(I could go on a protracted rant in regards to the dangers of artificial intelligence and how this is only one example of many, but I’ll spare you that.)

She was understandably upset and it was absolutely disgusting that somebody would do that.

Later that evening during her performance in Tampa, Florida Megan was on stage in front of a sold-out crowd as she prepares to perform “Cobra,” the one from her upcoming album Megan (released June 28), and when the music starts, tears could be seen in her eyes, so she takes a moment to rehearse and pull herself together.

Her adoring fans encourage her, cheer her on and shout “We love you!”

He tries to start the song, but gets carried away again, waving his hand in front of his face and trying to hold back the tears.

Fans start cheering for her once more, showing all of the love they will at that moment.

Every time I watch this video I cry because I feel her frustration. I feel her pain. I understand that she wants to do what she loves and that folks are continuously chasing her due to their very own predictions and insecurities.

Music

This is actually Megan’s personal experience, but additionally it is the experience of so many other black women in so many walks of life and that’s the reason so a lot of us love her and find her relatable in a way that makes us we would like to love her, root for her, protect her.

And while Megan’s fans could easily only be young girls and young women, there’s an entire legion of aunties who also consider Megan their “niece.” Those of us in Gen X and some older millennials have great affection for her.

I asked my former boss and current HuffPost editor-in-chief, Danielle Belton, why she likes Megan Thee Stallion.

“I love Megan for many reasons,” she said. “Her funny play on words, her attitude, how she carries herself even within the face of adversity, going into beast mode on the gym to stay fit (something I struggle with but admire about her), but what I probably I loved it, a very powerful thing is that you would be able to discover with it on many levels.

“Everything Megan went through, from the successes to the abuse and the adversity she faced, I’ve seen in my own life and you see in the lives of many Black women,” she continued. “She could have easily given up and fallen into depression or anxiety, but as an alternative she turned her struggles into her art and made music about mental health, which I feel very strongly about as a lady with the hidden disability of bipolar disorder. Megan could also be young, but her lyrics contain wisdom beyond her years. She’s smart and I’m all the time rooting for her.

“Also, as a curvy friend who grew up hating them within the supermodel-obsessed skinny 90s, I wanted there was a lady or woman who looked like Meg once I was starting out. Maybe I would not hate my butt and thighs a lot,” she added.

I asked this query regarding Facebook, TwitterAND Threadsand the answers were very similar.

#BlackGirlMagic creator CaShawn Thompson said: “Yes! I love seeing young black girls win! (Especially) girls who aren’t super skinny, racially ambiguous, and strategically modest. She’s GORGEOUS and she’s wonderful in a way that Black people especially appreciate. Plus she can rap, so she’s good at her job!”

“Megan is a talented emcee. She has a fluidity and a voice that is easily recognizable, which makes her unique,” ​​said Dr. Michelle Taylor, a professor of African-American studies who focuses on Black women in media. “She can really rap. … I think Traumazine is a fantastic album, and considering how young it is, it has a lot of room to grow and I’m curious to see where it goes.”

Writer Aliya King Neil said: “This bodee oddie oddie makes me reconsider a few of the selections in my life. At the age of fifty, the introduction of the word “Hot Girl Summer” into the lexicon modified my life.

I wish I could share every tweet and comment I receive, but space and my editor won’t let me. Just know this: Gen X and Millennial black women love them, some Megan. I’ve linked to each post so you may see the several responses.

The aunts love you, Megan. We want to support you and hold you.

We want you to know that we see in you the young women we weren’t allowed to be within the ’90s because patriarchy is real. We love you for embodying the spirit of liberation and uncompromising Black Girl magic.
