Megan Thee Stallion Defends Nicki Minaj and Cardi B in Powerful NYT Content
Megan Thee Stallion just opened up about the public trying to pit her against other female rappers like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B and she's having no part of it
Megan Thee Stallion sent an incredible message about securing Black ladies during her appearance on Saturday Night Live on October 3, and she's proceeding to utilize her foundation to discuss the subject. This time, through another opinion piece for the New York Times.
Among the various issues she examines in the piece is the music business' inclination for setting ladies in opposition to one another. “In every industry, women are pitted against one another, but especially in hip-hop, where it seems as if the male-dominated ecosystem can handle only one female rapper at a time,” she composed in the press offering. “Countless times, people have tried to pit me against Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, two incredible entertainers and strong women. I’m not ‘the new’ anyone; we are all unique in our own ways.”
She continued with, “Wouldn’t it be nice if Black girls weren’t inundated with negative, sexist comments about Black women? If they were told instead of the many important things that we’ve achieved?” Megan at that point recorded Black ladies she wished she had studied in school, as Katherine Johnson, Alice H. Parker, and Marie Van Brittan Brown.
Concerning her SNL execution, Megan says she realized she may get reprimanded—and she couldn't have cared less.
“I recently used the stage at Saturday Night Live to harshly rebuke Kentucky’s attorney general, Daniel Cameron, for his appalling conduct in denying Breonna Taylor and her family justice," she stated. “I anticipated some backlash: Anyone who follows the lead of Congressman John Lewis, the late civil rights giant, and makes ‘good trouble, necessary trouble,’ runs the risk of being attacked by those comfortable with the status quo. But you know what? I’m not afraid of criticism.”
Megan Thee Stallion additionally tended to being shot and why she at first remained close-lipped regarding what occurred. (Lanez has been charged in the occurrence.)
“I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him. We were not in a relationship,” she relayed. “Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place.”
She continued on with, “My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends. Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted.”
You can (and should) read her whole piece here—it's a ground-breaking proclamation and additional evidence that Megan will keep on being a voice for herself and every single Black lady.
