In a recent interview, Megan Thee Stallion discussed the challenges and successes of being an independent artist.
Megan Thee Stallion continues to reign supreme in the rap world, but she’s not just making waves with her music.
MEGAN THEE STALLION’S INTERVIEW WITH BILLBOARD
In a recent interview with Billboard, the 29-year-old rapper opened up about her career, her support for Kamala Harris, and whether there’s hope for reconciliation with Nicki Minaj.
With her signature honesty and ambition, Megan shared her thoughts on the rap scene and her journey as an independent artist.
It’s clear that she’s not slowing down anytime soon. As an independent artist, Megan has learned some tough lessons.
MEGAN THEE STALLION THE INDEPENDENT ARTIST
She doesn’t have a record label to handle things for her, so she’s doing it all.
“Being independent is hard,” she admitted.
“When you have a label doing everything for you, all you need to do is wake up and be the celebrity.
That’s a very easy life. I do work as my own label. I do fund a lot of my own things.”
Her hustle is something many South African artists can relate to, as the local music industry also thrives on independent talent.
MEGAN THEE STALLION’S CAREER
Megan’s journey hasn’t been smooth, but she’s determined to keep going, according to Hollywood Unlocked.
“I don’t just have the s-t handed to me – I really have to figure it out,” she said.
This is a sentiment many artists understand, especially those who are forging their path without the backing of big labels.
The rapper remains focused, though, saying, “It’s tough, but I like figuring it out. I like doing things on my own. I’m not going to stop.”
MEGAN THEE STALLION ON WOMEN IN RAP
Despite the challenges of independence, Megan Thee Stallion is thriving, according to Deal Town.
She’s proven time and time again that women are leading the charge in rap.
“We actually are going the hardest right now. The women are killing it. We are the hardest MCs right now,” she stated proudly.
And the world is taking notice, with even men rapping her lyrics at concerts.
MEGAN THEE STALLION AND NICKI MINAJ
It testifies to the influence women like Megan have on the genre, a trend visible worldwide, including in South Africa, where female artists are breaking boundaries.
Of course, no conversation about women in rap would be complete without mentioning Nicki Minaj.
The two rappers have had their ups and downs, but when asked about the possibility of reconciliation, Megan was unsure.
THE RAP BEEF
“I still don’t know what the problem is. I’m not even sure what we would reconcile because I still don’t know the issue,” she confessed.
While fans might hope for a future collaboration, it seems the ball is still in Nicki’s court.
Megan’s passion isn’t just limited to music.
PASSION FOR POLITICS
She’s also a strong supporter of Kamala Harris, the current Vice President of the United States, and a potential future president.
“To be alive in a time when a Black woman–or any woman–could become president is a blessing,” she said.
POSITIVE CHANGE
Megan believes that America needs a woman in charge, and she has faith in Kamala Harris to bring about positive change.
“I believe America needs a woman to bring a different perspective. Things have been a bit chaotic lately, and we need someone who can take charge.”
HONING HER CRAFT
As for what’s next, Megan remains focused on her craft.
She’s clear about her goals. “I just want to keep rapping. I want to be Megan Thee Stallion for as long as possible,” she said with determination.
It’s this drive that has made her a household name and will undoubtedly keep her at the top of the game.
