Mankaprr Conteh, Rolling Stone, July 30, 2024
“I want to start off by saying Hotties for Harris!” Megan Thee Stallion announced as she took the stage at the Georgia State Convocation Center in Atlanta.
The three-time Grammy winner was there to perform at Vice President Kamala Harris’s first campaign rally in the city as the presumptive Democratic nominee. Naturally, Megan wore a bright blue pantsuit fit for a Hottie – complete with a cropped blazer and button down, skin-tight bottoms, and a necktie to match. She took care to sensor her tracks and keep the twerking modest as she and a crew of dancers burst into “Girls in the Hood,” her 2020 flip of an Eazy-E classic.

Megan is no stranger to advocacy. {snip}

In 2020, when she made her Saturday Night Live debut as a musical guest, Megan spotlighted the killing of Breonna Taylor {snip} A backdrop for Megan’s performance at the time read “Protect Black Women” and she used vocal clips of activist Tamika Mallory condemning Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s management of the case. It also included a portion of a famous 1962 speech by Malcolm X, in which the civil rights leader says: “The most disrespected, unprotected, neglected person in America is the Black woman.”
