Megan Thee Stallion crushed it while hosting 'The Tonight Show' alongside Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night (Aug. 11).

“No, I think half the things you eat shouldn’t have ranch on them,” Jimmy responded as Megan tagged him as a mayo guy (for the record, he loves the “basic” condiment mustard.) Check out their bananas mad lib take on Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg’s “Nothin’ But a G Thang” below. “We eat Hot Cheetos, but inside of pickles,” she explained as Fallon stared blankly at the camera in shock. “Thank you birthday candles, for being crayons that like to get lit,” she said during Fallon’s weekly fake note bit.

But on Traumazine, she wanted to channel her current emotions into the new track. In a Rolling Stone exclusive clip of her interview with Apple Music 1, the ...

“I feel like it’s been so easy for people to tell my story for me and speak on my behalf. 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. “I write songs about how I want to feel.

Megan Thee Stallion drops some of her trademark humor and sensuality as 'Traumazine' deals with her well-known career and personal drama.

Nor is Megan afraid to “get into my feelings,” put mental health first and reveal the chinks in her armor. “Thank you hotties for rocking with me through the bullshit WE ALMOST OUT … LETS STAY FOCUSED AND RUN THIS LAST ONE UP.” On this, her official sophomore album release, Megan lets loose the tension built up from having been in a forever-seeming contract struggle with her longtime label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, to say nothing of the ongoing court case with her alleged assailant, Tory Lanez.

Megan Thee Stallion models a clear cone-shaped bikini with matching plastic gloves in the album art for her new LP "Traumazine," which dropped August 12.

“Traumazine” is chock-full of summer bops and features collaborations with Dua Lipa, Future, Jhené Aiko, Pooh Shiesty and Rico Nasty — and now it’s finally out, just in time for everyone else to have a “hot girl summer” too. And in the artwork for “Pressurelicious,” her sophomore album’s third single, she wears a striking pleather gimp mask and matching lace-up skirt set by Garo Sparo, as well as a metal ring-trimmed bikini from 37prints teamed with clear Pleaser platforms. Her devoted fans, better known as the “Hotties,” applauded the original “hot girl,” with one describing the pictures as a “blessing.”

They look almost like a shadow of the pitch black polish covering the rest of the nails. And it looks like the vibe is extending to some of her beauty choices IRL, specifically her most recent nail set. The all-black, smoky French tips are super cool — and getting us excited for Halloween in the middle of the summer.

It's been a difficult few years for Megan Thee Stallion. In 2019, she lost her beloved mother to a brain tumor, then just two weeks later, her grandmother ...

But before she settles too squarely in her feelings, she reminds us she’s still got a sense of humor: “Matter fact, wait, stop, bitch, I really rap/I be quick to check you pussy bitches like a pap.” Stallion spends 18 tracks doing just that, vacillating between a previously untapped vulnerability and the come-hither cockiness that has cemented her as a fixture in the industry. Smack dab in the middle of summer that following year, famously 5'3 rapper, Tory Lanez, opened fire on the reigning queen of rap following an argument.

Megan Thee Stallion's new album 'Traumazine' is here, and so are the hilarious Twitter reactions. Fans also thanked the rapper for being honest in the ...

Megan herself tweeted about getting personal on Traumazine — and her hopes that the album will help others do the same. The next day, Megan tweeted her disappointment with parts of Traumazine leaking — and her desire to release it on her terms. Surprise! Technically, it was no secret that Megan Thee Stallion’s new album has been on its way for a while now — she hinted at its title a week ago, and revealed at the Webby Awards back in May that she was “95% done” with her latest album.

On Friday, the 'Savage' rapper performed songs from her new album, Traumatize, on GMA's Summer Concert Series stage.

She even asked a few people their names, as she knew that she had interacted with a few of them over social media. She performed “Body,” the “Savage” remix featuring Beyoncé (which every single person screamed the intro), and “Pressurelicious” featuring Future (which is from her new album). The GMA show was set up to look like a full concert, but in reality, only about one minute of four-to-five songs were actually performed on stage, with interviews and audience participation in-between. As I walked up the stairs of the press platform, which was a couple of yards behind the audience, the “WAP” rapper’s five female backup dancers took to the stage. The audio played on and off that way for another thirty minutes, with only a few of her most popular songs on loop. As I sat on a bench with other press outside the venue, I could hear the crowd screaming as sound check began.

New Music Friday this week is full of rap, with two female powerhouses stepping up to the plate for an album release and single, respectively, ...

Nicki Minaj‘s “Super Freaky Girl” sees the rap icon doing what she does best — remixing old hits and reintroducing them to a new generation of fans. Anitta, NIKI, Ronald Isley & The Isley Brothers also return this week, but which new music release is your favorite? Megan Thee Stallion announced and released her new project Traumazine in a span of just hours.

From “Her” to “Not Nice,” the rapper is at the top of her game.

Pretty much all of the features on Traumazine are top-tier, but “Consistency” with Jhené Aiko is the grooviest. “I'm her, her, her, her, her, her, her, her/ She, she, she, she, she, she, she/ Take a pic, it's me, me, me, me, me, me, me.” And thank God for that. On “Anxiety,” Megan follows through on the expectations of a record titled Traumazine by actually sharing her most revealing songwriting yet. On “Her,” she goes haywire over a boosted house beat; on “Star” she taps into R&B and her feelings; on “Not Nice” she is at the apex of her skill as an emcee. Below, we pick the best songs from the album, from “Not Nice” to “Star.” Ever since her come-up with “Big Ole Freak,” the rapper has been unafraid to stretch her skills to fit a variety of contexts, but on Traumazine she masters the ability.

On her sixth project, the rapper is equal parts fierce and vulnerable, reflecting on the struggles she's endured in recent years.

After she released her previous project, “Something For Thee Hotties,” 1501 claimed the project was not an album, and Megan filed a countersuit arguing that it was. In short, Megan needed to fulfill her contractual obligations with a certain number of albums released under the label. For the past two years, Megan has faced a legal battle with 1501 Certified Entertainment—the record label she initially signed with in 2018. With Traumazine, we see her dig deeper into her insecurities on tracks like “Anxiety,” where she raps, “I’m a bad bitch, and I got bad anxiety,” and “Flip Flop,” where she talks about how fame can be isolating in not knowing who you can trust. The album also features collaborations with Latto, Memphis rappers Key Glock and Pooh Shiesty, and Future. She pays homage to her hometown, inviting three famous Houston rappers—Sauce Walka, Lil’ Keke, and Big Pokey—to trade bars on “Southside Royalty Freestyle.” Being a good artist requires growth and relatability, two hallmarks of many of the songs in Megan’s discography.

“But yeah, it felt good to say it out loud and I feel like it feels good to have people understand where I’m coming from. I go through so much and I feel like I just always keep it inside and I always just, just keep working through it. Okay. I’m writing “Freak Nasty”.’ But this is the first time I’ve written music about how I actually feel and not how I want to feel.” “And this is the first time I’ve ever treated my music like this, like usually I write music and I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m sad, but I’ll write “Body”.’ Or, you know what I’m saying? Like I never really dealt with it and I’m not saying I’m still in a good place about it. “I’m just thinking about what I wanna eat the next day.

The rapper wore several looks in a busy day of promoting her new album 'Traumazine.'

So I feel like I wanted to just take control of my own narrative, take control of my own storytelling, and tell it from me." She styled the fun look with white square-toed sandals and huge sparkling hoops. She let her hair down in voluminous curls and accessorized the look with Nickho Rey jewelry.

It all started when Dwayne was asked in an interview for the movie DC League of Super-Pets which celebrity he'd like to be a pet to — and he (seemingly without ...

I’m kind of epic," she joked. "That's kind of legendary. “I used to watch wrestling all the time, being from Houston. Watching The Rock and how famous he is, how much of a mega-star he is — and he wanna be my pet?"

While the Houston spitter is certainly ecstatic about just the idea of being a proud pet parent to the famed movie star, one person may not be as thrilled. In her response, the Traumazine rapper expressed just how flattered she was when she heard one of the world's biggest celebs single her out by name. Like, we made it.

On 'Scary,' two of rap's premier smack talkers find a demented glee in menacing those who might otherwise belittle them.
