Megan Thee Stallion undoubtedly had an incredible run last year and it looks like 2021 is shaping up to be just as fruitful for the Roc Nation artist. But some recent comments she made during an interview for Harper’s Bazaar March issue isn’t sitting right with some rap fans, who suggest she might be getting a little ahead of herself.
A clip of the interview started circulating via Twitter on Friday (February 19) in which Megan is quoted saying, “I feel like when it’s all said and done, when people want to talk about female rap … they are definitely going to have to put my name up there with the OGs.”
As several people pointed out, Megan has released just one studio album, Good News, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip Hop chart and No. 2 on the Billboard 200 last November. They also noted she’s really only been “at the top” since nabbing her first No. 1 Hot 100 single with Beyoncé in April 2020, meaning she hasn’t been around long enough to even consider being an OG in the running.
Meanwhile, predecessors such as Lil Kim, Foxy Brown, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliott and Queen Latifah — who are typically considered “OG” female rappers — have been in the game for decades and have numerous albums under their belts.

Twitter comments clowning Megan’s claim were relentless. One person wrote, “She isn’t OG, She can’t even do a single without a collab. She trying to get relevant,” while another said, “This girl has released three projects in the space of 4yrs and they haven’t even crossed 4m combined, like what?”
But as Megan explained elsewhere in the interview, she doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.
“Even though I’m not working a traditional job, I still treat it like: ‘’This is work. I need to work hard for this. I want to be here. I want to do this. I want to be Megan Thee Stallion,'” she said. “I feel like I know what comes with my job. If I took everything personal, then I would probably be somewhere curled up in the corner.”
Impossible. OG means “Original Gangsta.” If you didn’t make music in the late 80’s or early 90’s, you’ll never be considered an OG based simply on the definition. This young bish is outta line…
when you an entertainer on the come up you supposed to aspire to excellence. nothing wrong with her statement. why are people so sensitive lol
Lol, stfu.
Juan Carlo thinks Megan is going to give him some because he defended her online. Lol, what a wuss.
Right. Goofy mufukas don’t know what “When it’s all said and done” means?
Show your juggs.
I agree, she needs to let the dogs out…
Juggs? What are u, 16 buddy??
I’m not your buddy, friend.
Bunch of pessimistic weirdos
Agree. So much jealousy and hate for the young woman.
She can’t even rap.
You’re an idiot. She’s an incredible rapper.
Man if you think she’s an incredible rapper …. I wonder what adjective you would use to describe rappers that are actually talented … she may be a good entertainer but incredible rapper she is not … it’s simple to pull apart her lyrical content and delivery and see she is a cat in the hat rhymer
She’s not going to give you some for complimenting her on the internet…
She’s not a lyricist but she can rap
Muthafuckas reachin’….but even if she feels like that, should’ve NEVER told u muthafuckas LMAO…its what u dont say(if anything i hope the backlash from her statement motivates her to reacH dAt)
She got some nice titties, dawg.
Yea she don’t make sense, she need to humble herself, she crossed the line with that statement. Just as fast as she came up she will go down faster. In the words of her ex lover “Make it Make sense” -MoneyBaggYo
