Megan Thee Stallion Reveals To Tyra Banks She Hid Her Dreams of Becoming A Rapper From Her Mom
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Denise Truscello / Getty Megan Thee Stallion oozes confidence, but there was one point in her life she wasn’t so sure about becoming a rapper. The leader of the hot girls should still be on a tremendous high after confirming she landed the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, making her the first rapper to do so. In the feature interview accompanying the amazing cover and some tantalizing photos of the Houston Hip-Hop star, she broke bread with legendary supermodel Tyra Banks. She shared that she hid her desire to rap from her mom. “My mom was a rapper,” Meg opens up. “She didn’t know I wanted to be a rapper, but I would literally watch her in the studio all day. I’m like, ‘This lady is everything.’ I didn’t want to tell her that I could rap until ...

Word on the streets is Megan Thee Stallion, and her amazing body-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody will be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s iconic Swimsuit Issue. If this is the case, she will become the first rapper to be featured in the magazine, let alone the cover. If and when this news is confirmed, Thee Stallion will be following in fellow Houston native and “Savage Remix” collaborator Beyoncé’s footsteps who was the first non-athlete and non-model to grace the annual magazine’s cover that men have been thirsting over for years. According to Hypebeast, Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue is set to hit stands nationwide on July 19, and many of the model...

Black TikTokker’s Are Boycotting ‘Thot Sh*t’ To Put White Users On Blast For Stealing Dance Moves
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 It’s no secret. Black people are the sole reason social media is popping. This latest protest on TikTok is proving that point easily. Megan Thee Stallion’s new summer anthem “Thot Sh*t” is tailor-made to go viral on TikTok. The song, which also serves as a clap back to conservative pundits who had something to say about “WAP,” has a catchy hook, plus the instructions for the dance are quite simple. Still, if you noticed, there are no viral moments anywhere featuring Thee Stallion’s latest single, and that’s on purpose. Black creatives on TikTok have grown really tired of not getting the credit for the plethora of dance moves they have created on the app that white users jack without shame and get all recognition for their...
Marshmello’s New Album is Bangers Galore—Listen to “Shockwave” Now
After months of teasing, Marshmello has finally released Shockwave, a 12-track masterstroke channeling the producer’s long-lost electronic roots. The record kicks off with the spellbinding “Fairytale,” a brooding beat that eventually culminates in a thick melodic trap drop with booming hip-hop 808s. The tongue-in-cheek “Supernovacane” follows, in which the polarizing producer tips his helmet to his haters with a flippant vocal intro. “Marshmello is the most overrated electronic music artist by the way, ever to exist, of all-time,” whines an uncredited blowhard. “It’s so mediocre. To have it become so popular makes no sense.” One of the album’s most anticipated cuts, “Jiggle It,” delivers thank...

Listen to Marshmello, Megan Thee Stallion and Nitti Gritti’s House Banger “Bad Bitches”
It’s shaping up to be another meteoric month for Marshmello after the masked producer dropped his second high-profile collaborative track in less than a week. Following up on “Hitta” alongside Eptic and Juicy J, Mello has now joined forces with Nitti Gritti and Megan Thee Stallion for a club-ready collaboration called “Bad Bitches,” which will appear on his upcoming Shockwave LP. Seeing these three artists in the title, we didn’t necessarily expect house to be the genre of choice, but Marshmello is is known to keep his fans on their toes. Similar to his production efforts on the ferocious “Hitta,” his latest single harkens back to the superstar producer’s dance music roots, albeit in a much different capacity. The t...
Austin City Limits Unveils a Lineup Fitting for Austin

This year’s bill, which marks the fest’s 20th edition, will feature headlining artists George Strait, Billie Eilish, Stevie Nicks, Miley Cyrus, Erykah Badu, DaBaby and Rüfüs Du Sol. That’s some variety for you. Sure, there’s some of the 2021 standbys in the lineup, but that’s to be expected because you know, not ...
