2019 has been the year of the Hot Girl Summer as Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion climbing to global prominence.
Meg Thee Stallion is popular for voice rapping over hits like Big Ole Freak and Simon Says .
Megan tells Paper Magazine about her childhood, her influences as a musician which include her ex momager– the late Holly Thomas aka Holly-Wood, upcoming projects – a potential collaboration with fellow Houston native Beyoncé and one with Rihanna and so much more....
‘Sis.’ Megan tells Paper Magazine‘s Kiana Fitzgerald, reminiscing about her late mother and how she shaped her as an artist ‘I feel like off the strength that my mom was a rapper, and the music that her and my dad put in my ear as a child, it was bound to happen. Me watching her write and me watching her go in the studio and lay her verses down. Just to see how dedicated she was, that was normal to me. That just became the thing that I saw around my house. We bumping Pimp C, we listening to Three 6 all the time, we listening to Biggie. You know what I’m saying? I’ve always been a big fan of music. Just me growing up and turning into Meg Thee Stallion, this is a product of my environment‘
Megan’s catchphrase Hot Girl Summer has kicked off since the term’s original creation, gaining quite a bit of traction and growing into what seems to be a global movement, with global brands like Maybelline and Wendy’s all tweeting and attempting to get on the wave to megastars tweeting it and using it as Instagram captions so much so that Megan Thee Stallion is in the process of trademarking the phrase. She tells Paper Magazine how the process is going, noting that it isn’t exactly a fast one.
‘‘It’s going — it’s not a day process,” Megan explains. “I didn’t even think that it would be something that was this big. I just be talking. The Hotties run with it and love it, now everybody is a Hottie. I’m flattered. I appreciate it: spread the awareness, spread the movement.”Credits
