Summer & 2020 Trend: Megan Thee Stallion

 By Laura Medina


This scribe sensed that Houston's Megan Thee Stallion is gonna be an hot trend, sooner or later.


Last year was prescient for Megan Thee Stallion, it was "Hot Girl Summer, joining Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla $ign.

In 2019, Megan was one of the stellar panelists, at 2019 BeautyCon, where she said you keep it hot, by having a hot music career while still going to college, https://luxurist.blogspot.com/2019/08/beautyconla-2019-beauty-as-politics.html

This Texas Southern University Health Administration major is exploding, in constructive and accidental ways this quarantine Summer 2020.

She's recently appointed as ambassador for Savage X Fenty.  Commercially and business-savy, hip-hop artists, such as Megan, releases a song, "Savage" with fellow Houstonian, Beyonce, becoming a more mainstream, PG-rated Summer 2020 hit, accompanying her Savage x Fenty fashion ambassadorship.


After hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with a historic remix of "Savage" featuring Beyoncé, that benefitted Houston-based charity Bread Of Life Inc., Houston Hottie Megan Thee Stallion is turning up the heat on Hot Girl Summer with a brand new single, "Girls In The Hood."


Sampling the Eazy-E classic "Boyz-N-The-Hood," "Girls In The Hood" is a street-smart ode to the area Megan grew up in and the pride in being a product of her surroundings. A celebration of the lifestyle and energy of her community, "Girls In The Hood" features all the hallmarks of Megan at her finest; playful lyricism, hard hitting delivery, and a self-confident vibe. Using the track to celebrate her culture and her blackness, Megan has created an anthem reminding girls worldwide that just because you’re from the bottom, it doesn’t mean you can’t come out on top and keep it real the whole way.

"Girls In The Hood" solidifies Megan’s iconic status. "Girls In The Hood" comes halfway through Hot Girl Meg’s best year yet, with her star turn on HBO Max’s show “Legendary,” her next step into fashion as an ambassador for Savage X Fenty, a #1 single under her belt,  an incredible 5 nominations at the 2020 BET Awards, that aired on BET and CBS and an performance on the GMA concert series, that aired on August 21st.

Of course, this Health Administration major got a wham recently with Cardi B. on their collaboration, "WAP," post-feminist, sexually-healthy assertive anthem, telling men and people in what they want and prefer, straight-up.


Since hip-hop artists and rappers are the new rock stars,...well, when you're sizzling hot, you're sizzling hot.  Megan Thee Stallion broke quarantine in those "party mansions" up in the Hollywood Hills then got shot by a fellow rapper, https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/rapper-megan-thee-stallion-says-she-was-shot-hollywood-party-n1233931

JoJo sounded off on her support of Megan Thee Stallion following her Torey Lanez allegation.

Women supporting women.

In this clip from an all-new episode of Quibi's Close Up by E! NewsJoJo shared her support for Megan Thee Stallion after the rap star accused Tory Lanez of shooting her. As the "Man" artist explained to co-hosts Will Marfuggi and Courtney Tezeno, she took Lanez off the deluxe version of her album to show support of the "WAP" rapper.

"As soon as the allegations came out, I started talking to my team," JoJo shared. "I can't support this person, I have to distance myself."

Continuing on this point, the 29-year-old singer said she feels it's important to "believe women."

"I've felt that we need to believe women for a long time," she continued. "Why would it behoove her to lie about this?"

 In order to not dance around the topic, JoJo made it clear that she stands by and supports Megan Thee Stallion."What I'm saying is that I believe Megan Thee Stallion," the "Leave (Get Out)" artist concluded. "That was my stance and it just felt like the right thing to do to take him off the deluxe version of the album."

Prior to this interview, JoJo responded to one fan on Twitter about Tory, "Def took him TF off."She later added, "LOVE RESPECT AND PEACE AND PROTECTION TO @THEESTALLION."

Last week, the "Savage" rapper took to social media and claimed that Tory was the one who shot her in the feet back in July. During her update last week, the 25-year-old star said she didn't immediately tell the police about the shooting as she was scared.

Megan Thee Stallion noted at one point, "Why the f--k would I tell the laws somebody got a gun in this car and this n---a shot me? So, I can get shot, you can shot, she can get shot, he can get shot? I aint tell the police immediately what happened right then because I didn't want to die. I don't want the police to shoot me because it's a n---a with a gun in the car."Per Close Up by E! News, "Tory's reps haven't gotten back to us and the LAPD says they're currently reviewing the case and that no charges have been filed."


Whether it be intentionally good or unexpectedly bad, it's a sizzling hot Megan Thee Stallion Summer, 2020.
