The rapper is the subject of the ‘In Her Words’ film streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video on Oct. 31.
The trailer opens with Megan telling the camera, over video of her performing, that she’s going to cancel her shows.
“I’m not having fun right now, and I don’t want to do it,” she says. “And I feel like how could I be Megan Thee Stallion, and I’m not having fun.”
The trailer then flashes back to an animated look at Megan growing up and her bond with her mother.
“I wouldn’t be here without my mom,” she says. “My mom was like a gangsta rapper. I was like, ‘When I get older I really want to be like her.’”
But when her mom died in 2019, after Megan had launched her career, she was “in shambles,” as the “Savage” rapper says.
“I think I really forgot who I was. And when life started getting crazy, I didn’t have her,” she recalls.
Megan opens up about struggling in the wake of her mom’s death, explaining that she experienced “backlash,” being shot by Tory Lanez and “betrayal.”
“I had really had like a real breakdown,” she’s shown saying as she hugs someone while crying.
She explains that Megan Thee Stallion is trying to protect her true self of Megan Pete and shares that she wants people to understand her emotions.
“I want people to understand how this is affecting me,” she says over footage of her crying. “I want people to see how I feel.”
The trailer ends triumphantly, with fans sharing how much they love her and Megan saying, “I’ve been going through shit, but I’ve been getting through shit.”
Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words is presented by Amazon MGM Studios and is a Time Studios and Roc Nation production in association with Nneka Productions.
The film was directed by Nneka Onuorah.
Here’s the official description: “Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words offers unprecedented access to the multi-faceted woman behind the persona. Follow the Houston native’s journey on the road to stardom as she tenaciously navigates fame, grief, pressure and success.
