As naive because it sounds, I can not consider how cruel some people might be towards Megan Thee Stallion.

After acting at the president’s election rally Vice President Kamala Harris on July 30, conservative pundits posted a press release on social media claiming she was attempting to mobilize “hookers for harris.” And while walking through the streets of London in mid-July, the rapper was greeted with chants of “Free Tory” by a pair incel-as bystanders when she left the venue. Megan Thee Stallion had minimal response to their trick to get attention:she covered her nose and checked out the singers with disgust.

Unfortunately, she is already used to one of these trolling.

“I kind of became the villain. And I don’t know if people don’t take it seriously because I look strong,” she said. told in 2022“I wonder if it’s because of the way I look. Is it because I’m not light enough? Is it because I’m not white enough? Is it because I’m not shaped like that? I’m not tall enough? Is it because I’m not petite? Do I not look like someone who deserves to be treated like a woman?”

And how is she? told in August 2023.this level of cruelty even prolonged to a few of my peers within the music industry.

Megan Thee Stallion may at all times be the villain for the subset of misogynists dedicated to rapper Tory Lanez, who serves 10-yr prison sentence after he was convicted of aggravated assault for shooting and wounding her in 2020. But I hope she knows what an example she is to her many supporters — especially the tens of 1000’s of fans in attendance at her event.

Before the tour began, some questioned whether Megan Thee Stallion would have the option to successfully stage an arena tour — probably the most famous skeptics being a radio show host — though that query was quickly answered when her shows sold out nationwide and he or she added more dates in multiple markets, confirming she was an “arena artist.”

When you see Megan Thee Stallion live, it is going to grow to be clear why so many individuals showed as much as her show excited and left much more thrilled.

Writer Shamira Ibrahim she summed up the route best in her review noting that she used the show to make a press release that she was “emerging from the ashes, shedding the skin of trauma that surrounded her, and declaring an era of dominance for the rest of this hot summer of girls, one stage at a time.”

Even as her opponents attempt to make her life difficult once more.

During his performance in Tampa, Florida in June he gave the impression to be on the verge of tears as she rapped, with most assuming she could have been moved by the graphic deepfake footage that surfaced online that very same day.

“It’s really sick how hard you try to hurt me when you see me winning. You’re overreacting, you fake assholes. Know that today was your last day of fun with me and I mean it,” she said later published on X.

Megan rapped effortlessly after I saw her in Los Angeles in June. And I mean it after I say that before going to that show, I had never found an arena stuffed with booty shaking so inspiring.

Actor Taraji P. Henson, who attended the identical screening, recently said: : “It was the primary time I saw her perform live to tell the tale stage, as a headliner. She’s amazing. She was in a position to face all of the adversity and rise above it. She’s amazing.

“I’m like an aunt, you know,” Henson added. “I’m a cheerleader. I’m the loudest person up front cheering them on, and that’s what you’re supposed to do as an older person.”

I assume you possibly can call me her play uncle, because Megan Thee Stallion deserves more cheerleaders; she has enough critics and trolls. I say this not only as a fan of hers since 2017, but as someone who understands why Henson doesn’t exaggerate when she talks about her ability to rise above the chances.

Much of the discussion in regards to the sentiment surrounding Megan has centered across the 2020 shooting, but I give it some thought more within the context of all of the losses she’s suffered in recent times.

Megan Thee Stallion lost her father when she was 15, and in 2019, she lost her mother and grandmother inside weeks of one another. Losing her mother to brain cancer was especially difficult because she was also her manager and largest advocate.

Three years after her mother’s death, Megan said she still hasn’t recovered. “I feel like by now I could get myself together when I talk about my mom. But every time I talk about my mom, I can’t get myself together,” she said. he said in an interview with Apple Music.

Like her, I lost my mom to cancer just a few months ago and I deeply discover with the struggle to speak about my mom and hold myself together. I fear it could be a lifelong struggle. When I re-watched Megan’s interview, I felt comforted to know that I used to be not alone in feeling these feelings. That it was okay to take the time to work through them.

Megan Thee Stallion has been so open and honest in regards to the pain she’s experienced in recent times — and I wish she was met with more compassion.

In November 2023 “Cobra,” the primary single from her latest album , she rapped: “” and “.”

In February, she produced a No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, released a brand new album in June that debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 on her independent label, and launched into a sold-out headlining tour.

There’s also a brand new viral hit, “Mamushi,” featuring Japanese rapper Yuki Chiba, which Megan just released anime inspired music video for and “Squeeze”recent collaboration with rapper Latto.

Megan Thee Stallion he has accomplished therapy with a brand new commitment to health and wellness, a change in each spirit and appearance, but additionally it is undoubtedly her inner strength and resilience that has carried her from a few of her darker moments in recent times to where she is now, personally and professionally.

Her ability to address adversity in recent times and bounce back deserves more praise than criticism — especially from other men.

Until then, I’ll be in my little cheerleading squad, supporting H-Town Hottie and letting her know that regardless of what anyone says or throws at her, we couldn’t be more proud or more inspired by each recent accomplishment.
