Last night, Megan Thee Stallion made her Saturday Night Live debut a memorable one. For her first song, the rapper performed her hit single “Savage” while dancing in front of a backdrop that said “PROTECT BLACK WOMEN.” After running through the track, bullet holes pierced the backdrop and audio from Malcolm X’s 1962 “Who Taught You to Hate Yourself?” speech pierced through the sound system. “The most disrespected, unprotected, neglected person in America is the black woman. Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? The color of your skin? The shape of your nose? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?” he questioned. Next came a clip from activist Tamika Mallory’s condemnation of Kentucky Daniel Cameron’s handling of the Br...
Megan Thee Stallion is ready for the weekend. Before taking center stage on Saturday for the Season 46 premiere of Saturday Night Live, she decided to give the hotties exactly what they asked for: a brand-new single. Meg’s latest track, “Don’t Stop” featuring Atlanta superstar Young Thug, hit streaming services on Friday night after a few days of teasing. The song, produced by Buddah Bless, opens with a punchy electronic beat followed by Meg hopping in right at the bass drop with her signature flow. Young Thug grabs a verse in there too, as the pair murder the beat, one which will certainly be blasting the bass in everyone’s car stereo systems this fall. The video is directed by Colin Tiley, who also helmed Meg and Cardi B’s “WAP.” The clip sees Meg hopping through diff...
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Instead of apologizing to Megan Thee Stallion publicly for allegedly shooting her, that Canadian crooner dropped a whole album about the incident. Well, the “Savage” rapper has finally responded, and she’s not pulling her punches. Taking to Instagram, Meg addressed the whole Daystar fiasco. “Nothing REAL can be threatened 🤗 ,” was a caption tied to her latest collab with Fashion Nova. “Oh yeah and remember when I said I was collaborating with @fashionnova to make jeans for tall women 😛 These are the first samples 🔥🔥🔥 coming soon 😈” She followed that up with another post, a couple of selfies, with more smoke pointedly aimed at the little guy. Well actually, it’s the rings she’s wearing that spell out “F*...
Source: Bernard Smalls/ @PhotosByBeanz After Megan Thee Stallion confirmed what we all basically knew that a certain miniature Canadian singer was the one who shot her, many called for Tory Lanez to speak up about the incident. While there weren’t many, there were quite a few Black men in the Hip-Hop industry who called out Lanez while standing up for Thee Stallion. Names like Bun B, J.R. Smith were very vocal on social media and didn’t mince words when pointing out how wack Lanez was for shooting Megan. Atlanta rapper and self-proclaimed “King of The South” T.I. was another rapper who wanted the “Say It” crafter to explain himself expeditiously. In a recent interview with Complex, Tip revealed he did have a conversation with Lanez, and he shared the product of that discussion between the ...

Like all other live shows, Saturday Night Live had to make due earlier this year with socially-distanced episodes. That changes when the new season begins. Chris Rock will host the first in-studio episode since the pandemic first hit. Megan Thee Stallion will be the musical guest to begin the 46th season on October 3. This is the third time Rock will return to SNL as a host (he was a cast member from 1990-1993) and Megan Thee Stallion’s first proper appearance on the sketch comedy show — she popped up with Chance the Rapper last year on “Handsome.” As if that wasn’t enough, Jim Carrey will also feature as Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden in the run-up to the election — kicking off what’s sure to be a politically charged month. Rock will also star in the up...

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Two months ago, fans were hit with the news of Megan Thee Stallion’s shocking gunshot wound after a night of partying with Kylie Jenner went wrong in July. With the unfolding details all pointing to Tory Lanez as the shooter, there’s a growing concern as to why the pint-sized Canadian has yet to be arrested for his allegedly reckless actions. In an exclusive scoop from PageSix, a source close to the situation says Megan’s case is “open and shut,” and suggests the lack of urgency to arrest Lanez is because authorities aren’t allocating the same resources to it as if the victim were a white college student. “Sources tell us the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has been given all of the evidence believed necessary to move forward with ...
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Tory Lanez and has finally broken his silence in regards to the Megan Thee Stallion shooting situation, and honestly, he could have remained silent. Reportedly the miniature rapper/singer sent Megan Thee Stallion a text message 15 hours later following the July 12 shooting. In it, he apologized to Houston rapper and said consuming too much alcohol was the reason behind shooting Thee Stallion in both feet. “I know u prolly never gone talk to me again, but I genuinely want u to know I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart. I was just too drunk. None the less shit should have never happened and I can’t change what did. I just feel horrible. Cuz I genuinely just got too drunk.” SMH. This latest development follows Lanez reacting to a Forbes report that cla...
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Megan Thee Stallion made sure we continue to say the names of those who have been victims of police brutality. Before the highly-anticipated twerking and pearl-clutching bars were dropped, Megan Thee Stallion opened up her virtual and socially distanced concert by honoring the victims of police brutality. While Megan and her dancers stood on stage with their fists raised, the names of Tamir Rice, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, George Floyd, Elijah McClain, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Jacob Blake flashed across a giant screen behind them. How and when each of them was killed or injured by law enforcement was also shared. After all of the names came across the screen, the critical and painful question was asked, “Why is it so har...
Source: Derrick Salters/WENN.com / WENN Tory Lanez has been silent about his role in the Los Angeles shooting that left Megan Thee Stallion shot in both of her feet, but after the H-Town hottie took to social media to name Lanez as her assailant, his response to a problematic football player’s post has many calling for the Canadian-bred singer to face charges. On Saturday (August 22), The Shade Room shared a recent post from former and problematic NFL running back Larry Johnson who attributed Megan’s shooting to her own decision making, writing that the heinous act was a result of her “own stupidity,” before adding that Meg should have “taken a course in Behavioral Science.” “Ladies, if you date a man who coined the term ‘Demon Time,’ and you get shot by him during Demon Hours, be accounta...
