“It was nice to finally be able to just talk because I was in a place where I was so depressed and I didn’t want to do anything that would disrupt any sort of peace. I felt like, Oh, Megan Thee Stallion, everyone hates you right now. Don’t say a word. Shut up.”

She continued: “I felt so bad every day. It was such a difficult place to come out of. I don’t even want to care who hates me, really. What I should my focus is on the love I receive. That’s what I’m trying to improve on now. Not everything will always be great. If I have to be there for the cheers, I have to be there for the boos. »

She also spoke about the difficult expectations placed on female rappers.

“For female rappers, there’s a line that you shouldn’t cross,” she said. “You want to be Miss Congeniality. You want to be liked by everyone. You want to be the baddest, you want to be the best, but you want to do it the right way.

She added: “I had to learn that there is no right way. Whoever you are, be that. If you’re crazy, be crazy. If you’re nice, be nice. If you mean, be mean. If you’re sad, be sad. Whatever your path, be it. Be your real true self.
