The Truth About Megan Thee Stallion And Beyonce's Relationship
Like Beyonce, Megan Thee Stallion is a native of Houston, Texas. Megan got her start while still in college in 2013, posting raps on the internet. The rapper truly worked her way to the top, grinding over the course of years before reaching the status she has now. As her star kept rising, she was able to work with more and more top performers, like Wale, Juicy J, Quavo, and Cardi B. Still, as Megan's success continued, there was one artist she knew she had to work with.
Megan Thee Stallion had been a fan of Beyoncé for a long time. She said on Instagram in 2020 (via Harper's Bazaar), "My mama was a really huge fan of Beyoncé, and she used to make me watch a lot of Beyoncé's stuff." In 2018, Megan told Vibe that Beyoncé was her dream collaboration, saying, "Me and B gotta do something. Houston needs that." Of course, that dream came true in 2020 when Beyoncé hopped on a remix of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," riding it straight to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. But while their chemistry on the track is undeniable, what is their relationship like behind the scenes?
Megan Thee Stallion said Beyoncé is like family
Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé's collaboration on "Savage" was not just a commercial success, but the beginning of a beautiful friendship as well. Megan told Variety that she met Beyoncé at a New Year's Eve party, saying, "In the first five minutes of the conversation, I felt like I've been knowing her all my life," adding, "She treated me like family, and now I feel like I am family. We talk all the time." Megan shared a selfie from that New Year's Eve night with Beyoncé and her daughter, Blue Ivy, on Instagram, delighting the internet.
After Megan was allegedly shot in the foot by Tory Lanez, Beyoncé reached out to show support, sending the rapper flowers. Megan shared a photo of the arrangement on Instagram, which came with a note reading, "Sending You All My Love. God Bless, Beyoncé." Megan Thee Stallion went from being Beyoncé's fan, to her collaborator, to her family. Fingers crossed they have another song on the way.
