Megan Thee Stallion | The Dark Side of Fame | Tory Lanez, DaBaby, Homophobia & More

Like many rappers, Megan thee Stallion is no stranger to controversy. Ever since this Texas emcee first burst onto the scene with her big personality and impressive freestyle skills, she’s captured the world’s attention. On the Bright Side of Fame this has resulted in a career drenched in accolades, including six BET Awards, two MTV Video Music Awards, and the fact that in 2020, she became only the second female rapper to win Best New Artist at the Grammys after Lauryn Hill over twenty years earlier. Time magazine even went so far as to name Megan one of the 100 most influential people in the world that very same year. But when you’re as unfiltered as Megan thee Stallion generally is, you often make headlines for other reasons too. This means that, on the Dark Side of Fame, Megan has had to contend with a series of controversies including the unearthing of old homophobic tweets, the release of some highly-divisive music, and, of course, the crazy conclusion to her friendship-slash-relationship-slash-whatever-it-was that was going on with her and Tory Lanez.
