Megan Thee Stallion made history on Monday November 28 by becoming the first black woman to cover herself forbes’ “30 under 30” problem – and looked flawless doing it. The 27-year-old “Savage” hitmaker stunned in a tight orange mini dress as she posed in a series of attention-grabbing photos, featured in a slideshow she shared Instagram. In her cover photo, shown below, she grinned at the camera with a curious look and a hand on her chin. Her auburn hair was styled into the trendy half up, half down ponytail and she accessorised with gold hoop earrings and a gold ring.
In one of the racy photos she shared on Instagram, Megan leaned over a table as if conducting a serious business meeting. A video clip she included in the carousel showed her turning to face the camera and placing her hands on top of each other, ending in a gripping power pose. “First BLACK WOMAN on your @forbes 30 under 30 cover,” she captioned the post. “real hot girl s—t”.
During her cover interview with forbes, the Texas native expressed shock at being on the cover of the 30 Under 30 list. “It’s really hard to be first in 2022, so ah!” she gushed.
Also, in an accompanying interview, she spoke about the pressure she felt with her very personal second album, traumazine, which came out in August. “This album was really personal to me. This is the first time I’ve ever spoken out about things I’m feeling or talked about things I’m going through,” she explained (via persons). “So it kind of made me nervous to write a lot of these songs. It makes me nervous to play some of these songs. And I was like, ‘Okay, I’m going to write this stuff and just put it out.’”
The “Body” singer also noted that she’s “still processing how the album feels to others” and said she’s had positive feedback from fans so far. “It made me happy that the time I chose to be vulnerable and speak out about something I was going through, it was one of the favorites of all my fans and I really appreciate it and they have me made me feel good the way it is It’s okay not to be okay and it’s okay to tell you all I’m not okay,” she said, referring to her song “Anxiety “. The song talks about how she manages her stress at even the worst times of her life, including when her mother died of brain cancer in 2019.
Megan is still dealing with stressful situations as she is currently awaiting a trial to get her and the singer involved Tory Lanez, who allegedly shot herself in the foot after a party gone wrong in the Hollywood Hills. Still, it shows no signs of slowing down. She is preparing to go on a world tour in 2023, is working on new music and signed a deal with Netflix to create a variety of shows just under a year ago. “I’ve been running hard since 2019,” Megan said forbes.
