Megan Thee Stallion has made her stance clear regarding the upcoming U.S. presidential elections. In a recent interview with Billboard, the artist expressed her discontent with those refusing to vote, questioning their rationale by saying, "What the fuck are you talking about? You're going to complain about what you don't like but you're not going to help the cause?" Her remarks highlight a growing concern about voter apathy in the current political climate.
The Houston rapper voiced her support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris over her Republican opponent, Donald Trump. She emphasized the historic nature of having a Black female candidate and the potential for progressive change under her leadership. "I feel like America needed a woman to come in here and put a woman's touch on it. It’s been going a little crazy lately, and we need somebody to put their foot down," Thee Stallion noted. She further called upon her fans to engage in the election, remarking, "Now we just got to get out there and go vote."
Megan's recent appearances have included performing at a rally for Kamala Harris in Atlanta, where she spoke to the crowd about women's empowerment while advocating for Harris's candidacy. This event also attracted criticism from model Amber Rose, a Trump supporter, who suggested that Thee Stallion's performance was mere pandering to the Black community.
In addition to her political commentary, Megan Thee Stallion is set to host this year's MTV VMA Awards and is nominated for five awards, including Best Collaboration for her track with GloRilla titled "Wanna Be."
Megan’s active involvement in political discussions and her rising prominence in the music industry continue to shape her public persona as not just a performer but an advocate for social change. The upcoming elections on November 5, 2024, are poised to be influenced by the musical community’s efforts to mobilize voters.
