Power of Young Hollywood: Megan Thee Stallion isn't slowing down or backing down, but she's ready to move on. In the early hours of July 12, Megan was injured in a shooting. “I was shot in both of my feet and had to get surgery to get the bullets taken out,” she says. Such incidents normally send a celebrity into hiding, but after nine days of tabloid frenzy, Megan was on the phone with Variety for a long-scheduled interview. She was cheerful, funny, forward-looking and optimistic, only hinting at the experience when asked how she’s doing. “I’m not the type of person who can stay down for a long time,” she says. “I don’t like to be sad or keep myself in a dark place, because I know it could be the worst thing happening, but the pain and the bad things don’t last for long.” At the link in bio, find out how Meg went from #HotGirlSummer to the hottest rapper right now.

According to Megan’s words, she instantly felt like she knew Beyonce all her life the moment they had their first conversation. The ‘Money Good’ rapper first knew the ‘Halo’ singer and husband rapper Jay-Z at the duo’s 2020 New Year’s Eve celebration. Megan added that Bey treated her like a family, making her feel very at home and ease every time she’s with her. “We talk all the time,” she revealed.

The former Destiny’s Child vocalist and Megan recently teamed up on the rapper’s major hit called ‘Savage.’ Beyonce even sent Megan out a dashing bouquet after the rapper was involved in a shooting incident in Los Angeles last month. The 25-year-old Texas-born artist was inside in a black SUV with rumored boyfriend Tory Lanez when the male rapper shot Megan, causing her to endure multiple wounds to her foot.

For the time being, Lanez’s real motives of shooting Megan is still unknown as the Los Angeles Police Department is still investigating the crime. In the latter, the female rapper then was seen storming her way out from the van with an injured foot, as caught by a CCTV camera of a nearby house.

Lanez, 27, was rapidly arrested by the police with illegal handling of a weapon charge. The gun is inside the SUV, where the Canadian rapper shot Megan.

Megan Thee Stallion is back 

According to Variety, since Megan smashed the hip-hop and rap music scene in 2017 with her ‘Stalli Freestyle,’ the recovered rapper teamed up with the rap queen, Nicki Minaj. The latter is pregnant with her first child set to release an enlivening ‘Hot Gurl Summer’ record with Megan.

Before the shooting incident, Megan graced the 2020 virtual BET Awards, where she stunned the viewers and her fans for her ‘Mad Max’-inspired pre-recorded performance for ‘Savage.’

The BET Awards winner is also a regular judge of HBO Max’s ‘Legendary’ ballroom competition. The show has been renowned for its second season, where Megan is still on.

To date, Megan is continuously recovering from her wounds at her home, but the rapper will dominate the hip-hop scene once again anytime soon.
