Despite all of her success, Megan Thee Stallion has faced her fair share of criticism for her sexually-charged music, image and performances — and frankly, she’s had enough.
Ahead of a string of performances in the U.K. later this month, the Houston rapper sat down for an interview with radio host Julie Adenuga for London’s Evening Standard, in which she delivered a scathing P.S.A. to “ignorant” men who continue to criticize her career.
When asked if her view of men as a whole has changed since becoming famous, Megan replied, “I’m starting to see how much more ignorant men are than I thought. When you’re a woman who’s not a threat, men don’t really bother you. And then as you grow into your own and as you become somebody who doesn’t need a man or somebody who is so independent… men like that damsel in distress type of role and that’s not me.
“I feel like that’s what kind of gets under a lot of men’s skin. Like, ‘How dare she talk about her vagina? She loves herself and she don’t need me and she’s going to take my money.’ I just feel like I make a lot of them uncomfortable and I feel like that’s my job.
She continued, “I’m not a normal woman, I’m not a normal person, and if my un-normalness offends you, well, I’m obviously doing something right and, baby, look the other way. You can’t stop looking the other way, because you like what you see and you hate that you like what you see. That’s why you hate it, that’s why you go through all these emotions and you’re lashing out on me.
“So I’m not even mad at these men. They’re emotionally ignorant. Once they come to grips with who they are, maybe they’ll grow up.”
Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion Accused Of 'Glamorizing Prostitution & Stripping' Following 'WAP' Grammy Performance
Megan Thee Stallion’s raunchy persona has drawn backlash from all corners of pop culture. Snoop Dogg, CeeLo Green and even Tiger King‘s Carole Baskin are among the high-profile names who took issue with Megan’s “WAP” collaboration with Cardi B. Meanwhile, the duo’s performance of the song at the 2021 Grammy Awards received dozens of FCC complaints, with one complaint likening it to a “hardcore pornography film.”
Nevertheless, Tina Snow remains unfazed. Previously, in a 2020 interview with GQ UK, the H-Town native clapped back at critics — namely of the male gender — of her “WAP” single. “It just comes from a place of fear and insecurity,” she said. “Like, why would anyone be mad about my WAP? It belongs to me.”
Elsewhere in her Evening Standard interview, Megan Thee Stallion talked about her blossoming relationship with boyfriend Pardison Fontaine (who she praises as being “emotionally literate”), her ambition to write music for other artists in her 40s and the prospect of performing in front of a majority-white crowd in the U.K.
“I would hope they know better than to say the N-word,” she said.
another one of these extremely unpleasant people their industry keeps throwing at us. I feel sorry for her that she has to talk about her private parts all the time to make a buck. she can say it’s “empowering” as much as she like – one day she will be a mother if she isn’t already and she’ll have to look in the mirror.
yup… but she’s narcissistic so we couldn’t tell her nothing
Its simple as fuck. You call yourself a thot and a hoe. Why would most men respect that? That’s your lane, cool, but don’t expect to be praised for it. The women that follow you are the bottom feeders we dog out
She needs to be careful with giving Pardi so much praise, he’s a attention seeker, wanting what she has. Sensitive men don’t accept unless there is an agenda. Something isn’t adding up with him but that’s on her.JS
I Know right!.
Let’s not forget how 2 Live Crew and others were ostracized for raunchy music. It’s not a gender issue, some people, male and female, just don’t wanna hear that shit…
nothing wrong with x rated porno music if that’s what it’s labelled as even if teenagers sneak a listen. But trying to pass the same sht off as some intelllectual high art bullsnot and then calling people ignorant because they don’t want schoolkids listening? Entertainment industry is the people’s enemy – it’s that simple. Never used to be this way but mergers, etc…
In 95 tho
That’s right; that means it’s nothing new, and they were dudes. Carry on, good sir…
Maybe some people just don’t like your music, which is allowed, it doesn’t make men ignorant. I listen to Little Simz, Princess Nokia, Tierra Whack, Kamaiyah, Rapsody etc. and root for their success. I don’t like Meg because she claims to be “unapologetically herself” but continues to respond to critics because it’s the only way to get the front cover, it’s corny and tasteless.
That’s not why we think you are a pig… talking about your dripping wet vagina is disgusting and shows you have no respect for yourself
I love Meg’s pu$$y and love hearing about it all the time. Would also love to taste it. Definitely not mad at her success, even though I can’t name one of her songs. Meg’s existence doesn’t bother me and I don’t get triggered when I hear/read her name. I would love to taste her pu$$y though.
I hope you get to taste it one day Mikey, godspeed.
I heard she musty, that’s why DaBaby said what he said on stage at rolling Loud. He was speaking to her, she does not taste like water.
We all need someone. Please don’t think that your money makes you 100% independent. If you don’t want to deal with the laws of nature, then, of course, your money will give you that delusion.
Yes well said.
Release the foot x-rays or STFU
You’re asking her to release evidence in an ongoing criminal investigation which could make her face obstruction of justice charges. Not very smart, are we?
Hoez and strippers mad cause ppl telling them what they are
She needs to grow up. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. She is in the music business. So she will face criticism like any other artist. Deal with it.
not when i am eating please.
I’m guessing 90% of the people who commented in this article are male;-)
I thought if your previous career was a pole dancer/stripper and you come up from that, I assume that you would act and do differently.. Not, they still have that h*e mentality and want respect.. I thought the male critics were the ones putting $$ in ya purse!! smh!! They forget!!
What is this thot whining about now?
ONE OF THE MOST OVERRATED O WE HYPED “ARTISTS” I’VE EVER SEEN!!!! THIS BITCH IS STRAIGHT UP TRASH!!!! CAN’T RAP FOR SHIT AND UGLY AS FUCK!!!! PURE GARBAGE!!!! INDUSTRY CONNECTIONS GOT HER HERE!!!!! FACTS!!!! FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!!
OF COURSE MY COMMENT WAS DELETED!!!! LMFAOOOOOO!!!!! FUCKIN’ ROBOTS!!!! BITCH MADE FUCKS!!!!! SOFTER THAN CHARMING ASS BITCHES!!!! WHO OWN YA’LL???? FUCKIN’ PUPPETS!!!! LMAOOOO!!!! FUCK YOU!!!!
She’s selling the idea of the pssy not the actual pssy and making exponentially much more at it. So props to her for being a smart b!tch
Nobody cares that she is a woman, people care that she’s getting awards and nominated for things like Lyricist of the Year because she’s a woman. A very handsome woman.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO SLASH THAT TIRE SHE CALLS A THROAT POLICE CALLING ASSBITCH!
More like the type of men YOU deal with are ignorant. 1) Black women keep dating rappers and street dudes then talk about having bad luck. 2 Brothers who have their shit together don’t want you wannabe stripper types. Your luck is the result of your choices. I’d still fuck but definitely not wifey material.
Men are emotionally ignorant but it’s you standing there twerking your disgusting fat ass off in a bikini without shame or class. And for what? To get fuked by the same emotionally ignorant males you’re ranting about….because no real man would dream of touching a licked off sandwich like you.
Megan the Male Horse does anything for a little attention. Her music is unlistenable so she has to.
She raps about sex and money. And using sex to get money. She does not deserve a heap of respect for her crude, unoriginal music.
You don’t hear Nas or Wu-Tang making songs about their dicks.
Stop reaching Meg. We don’t respect you because you don’t show respect for yourself. Sex does indeed sell, but if that’s the route you take to make sales, deal with the consequences. You’re not a lyricist or a rapper. You’re a hoe that makes shitty music. And that’s ok.
