Talented Trio Megan Thee Stallion has several alter egos — Tina Snow, Suga, and Hot Girl Meg — and they were all on display in a humorous video she put together for YouTube Music’s Artist Spotlight Stories. Fans see the leader Tina Snow, the charismatic and nice Suga, and the flirty Hot Girl Meg in the 10-minute piece. She snagged the idea for creating characters from rapper and record producer Pimp C, who she was a fan of growing up. He created assorted alter egos for himself, like Sweet James Jones and Jack Tripper, among others. “My music is me letting the world know how confident I am in myself, and me basically telling other women, and guys, how confident and how comfortable I believe they should be.” Hot Girl Summer Early in the year, Megan headed to Los Angeles to perform on The Charlie Sloth Rap Show, where rappers perform original freestyle music. She stepped into the studios—ignoring the pressure and embracing the moment—and dazzled and delighted with a jaw-dropping performance that continued to propel her career. In March, however, tragedy struck as she lost her mom to brain cancer, and her great-grandmother passed away, too. Having lost her mom, who was so close to her and had impacted her life in so many ways, the months that followed were understandably shrouded in sadness and difficult to navigate. Megan found comfort in her music and dedicated herself to carving out a career they would be proud of while, equally importantly, helping others along the way.
