Megan Thee Stallion

“My mom was a big UGK fan.”

“There were so many different labels coming to me and they just didn't seem right, but 300... they wanted me bad. It felt like a family.”

“Not every day is a good day for me.”

“I want to take my rapper money and start my own assisted living facilities in Houston because I see what it looks like when you got your grandparents take care of your great-grandparents.”

“A man could come in the room with his hair not cut, not done, pants around his ankles and people still gon' be like, 'Oh, that's his style. It's cool.' Being a woman, you have to be on your P's and Q's at all times, because not only do you have to keep up your appearance for men, but other women judge you so hard.”

“Me and Kehlani have music together, and I love her.”

“I love being a female rapper and embracing my sexuality.”

“I like movies that make you semi fall in love with the villain so you have sympathy for him.”

“I don't feel like I'm in competitive with anybody. If I'm worried about beating somebody else, I'm not going to be the best version of me. It shouldn't be a competition because somebody else winning is not going to make me lose.”

“I definitely feel like people in the South are a little more raw. Our whole swag, the way we talk... When I go to the East Coast, people automatically know I'm not from there.”

“I do not like disappointing people.”

“My music is me letting the world know how confident I am in myself, and me basically telling other women - and guys - how confident and how comfortable I believe they should be.”

“You don't have a lot of women doing things for women, so when I'm rapping I gotta talk all this mess so the women can feel as confident and empowered as the men.”

“I was an only child so, at home, I'm turnt up by myself, doing whatever I wanna do.”

“I really like how the characters always has to go through some type of long journey that's like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She's always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat - I love that.”

“Sometimes, when you're doing too much, things get overwhelming. So I just have to calm myself down and think, 'What would my mama want me to do?'”

“I definitely have to pray and spend a lot of time by myself when I can.”

“I don't feel like I sound like anybody from Houston. I don't really feel like I have that Houston flow, that Houston sound. I feel like it's a mixture of all the things I've listened to growing up, or even my mom, in a way. I feel like I have my own style.”

“I'ma just rap and do me.”

“My mom is a very strong woman, very tough lady.”
