Megan Thee Stallion stripped down for her latest magazine cover making her debut on the Women’s Health Magazine. Megan claims that as a darker complexion woman, many stereotypes have been placed on her and she was subjected to racism and colourism by online users following the conviction of rapper Tory Lanez.
A judge in Los Angeles sentenced Canadian rapper, Tory Lanez to ten years in prison without the possibility of parole for shooting and injuring hip-hop star, Megan Thee Stallion in July 2020. Jose Baez, Lanez’s attorney told reporters that the sentence was extreme and they plan to appeal.
After that incident, Megan claimed that she felt a lot of pressure from people because of all the hate and people constantly calling her a liar. She also endured hate from other artists who still believed that Tory was innocent. Megan also spoke out on how she was able to overcome the pain and hurt from Tory shooting her after Kylie Jenner’s party.
“A lot of people didn’t treat me like l was human for a long time. I feel like everybody was always used to me being fun and a happy party girl. I watched people build me up, tear me down and be confused about their expectations of me.”
“Before l went on stage, l would be crying half the time because l didn’t want to perform but l also didn’t want to upset my fans,” she said, claiming those were dark times. She went on to say that she knew she wasn’t herself and it took her a while to acknowledge that she was depressed. She began therapy to work on her mental health and started working out four to five times a week. She also enjoys beach workouts, goblet squats, lay flies to name just a few. Megan also ended relationships that didn’t serve her and took a social media break.
The star also changed her diet and reduced cognac, red meat, soda, juice, bread and opted for smoothies or green juice for breakfast, salmon with veggies for lunch and veggies with her snack of choice for dinner. She also enjoys journaling, meditating, playing with her dogs and listening to music.
“I was inspired to create this album about rebirth because l feel l am becoming a new person physically and mentally,” she said, talking about her new music. “I’ve always struggled to figure how to be vulnerable and still make music that is going hard at the same time. I’m getting into a better space with music that is still true to myself but also true to my message. I am very much a flower, but my flower has thorns.”
Megan Thee Stallion announced that this year, she is coming out with a new album and a Hot Girl Summer 2024 tour for her fans.
