Megan Thee Stallion Feels She Can Finally Express Herself On New Album After Her Mom’s Passing

Megan Thee Stallion is most definitely one of the most in-demand female rappers in the world right now. She rose to prominence following the release of “Big Ole Freak, the song became certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association for America. 

The WAP rapper has shown an incredible amount of growth over the past few years. This includes her making it onto Time magazine’s 100 most influential list. She has also collaborated with top stars such as Beyoncé, Cardi B and many more.

The rapper finally dropped her second album Traumazine last week and it has already been a huge hit. While speaking to Apple 1, Megan details reclaiming her narrative with this record.

“Usually when I write songs… I could be sad and I’ll write a song like ‘Body.’ Or I could be pissed off and I’ll write a song like ‘Freak Nasty.’ I don’t write songs about how I feel, I write songs about how I want to feel.

So, I feel like on this album, it’s probably the first time I figured out how to talk about what I want to say… express myself a little bit more,” the rapper added. “So, that’s just how I’ve been living life. And I feel like it’s been so easy for people to tell my story for me, speak on my behalf because I’m a nonchalant person, I feel like. And people be talking about me and I be like, okay. But like I see now that it can get out of control so I feel like I wanted to just take control of my narrative, take control of my own story. Tell it my way, tell it from me.

When I would do something good, my mama could say, ‘Good job… that was good… we did that.’ I feel like by now, I would have been able to get my sh*t together when I talk about my mama, but every time I talk about my mama I cannot hold it together,” she said. “But, I know my mama and she’ll be like, ‘Girl, get your sh*t together, you’re tweakin.'”

And She was just so cool and I just trusted her so much. And her opinion just meant so much to me, and I just feel like when she would say I did a good job, it would feel like, ‘Okay, I did that. I did a good job,’ but now when I do, I’m just like, ‘Okay, what’s next?’ Because I don’t know if I’m doing that good of a job.”

She will also never release another album from her label ever again now. We’ll have to see what the future holds for her. One thing is for sure and that her star continues to shine bright even now.
