At the moment, Megan Thee Stallion is attempting to manage her meteoric rise to popularity by balancing public praise and wild success with unfavourable or derogatory circumstances. A rescheduled Dallas show because of the NBA Finals is one example of an event beyond most people’s control. Nevertheless, some are far darker; for instance, a purportedly female sex tape that went viral on the internet is said to have been created by artificial intelligence (AI). On Saturday, June 8, the Houston femcee turned to Twitter to criticize these purported attempts to damage her reputation despite the topic and the glaringly unconfirmed online debate. She recently collaborated with Latto and Flo Milli on the “Sunday Service” remix, so at least she has some recognition and deserved buzz to offset this opposing viewpoint in internet discourse.
Megan Thee Stallion wrote,
“It’s really sick how yall go out of the way to hurt me when you see me winning,”
“Yall going too far, Fake a** s**t. Just know today was your last day playing with me and I mean it.”
However, Megan Thee Stallion’s next album, Megan, will probably cover at least some of this backlash, along with other hardships and her highs and lows. It’s perhaps one of the hip-hop releases of the summer that people are most looking forward to, and it will be her first solo full-length album since Traumanize in 2022. Since then, Tina Snow has experienced a lot; we anticipate this will contribute to an exciting and comprehensive album experience. We can only hope that her efforts will be more heard than those of her irrational, rude, or downright poisonous critics.
Megan Thee Stallion is facing a significant rollout that is helping to raise morale amid other cancelled or postponed concerts. There is a lot of anticipation and energy behind it, and if the album doesn’t live up to the hype, it might come apart quickly. But rather than being so much about Meg’s abilities or potential, our doubt is more focused on public opinion and discourse. Hopefully, she uses some incredible work to give people who despise her the wrong kind of backlash.
