Megan Thee Stallion won Best Female Hip Hop Artist, again, at the BET Awards. She thanked her mother for instilling the work ethic in her to be a female rapper. I love how Megan keeps Holly's memory alive by always acknowledging her. Holly may not have made it as a rapper, but through Megan, she is having an impact on Hip Hop. She also thanked her team and her peers.
Speaking of peers...before she got to the main part of her speech, she thanked Cardi B. She did this because she had forgotten to mention Ole Girl while accepting the Song Of The Year award for WAP. Of course, people tried to make a big deal out of it, as if once the song was a hit, Cardi B did not run around and act like it was a solo song. Whatever...
What I wanted to highlight was how Megan Thee Stallion addressed Cardi B. She said, "It makes me feel so good to be acknowledged by one of my peers who I think so highly of..."
I like that Megan addressed Cardi B as a peer, not as if she were an OG that somehow paved the way for her and other girls. Megan views Cardi B as an equal, not as someone who is above or below her. I think that is important. Cardi B popping off first doesn't mean she is no longer these girls' equals when it comes to time in the game. These are the girls who will do Verzuz battles against each other in 10 years.
I just wanted to point that out, cause I hate when Cardi's peers treat her like a veteran.
Thot Shit Performance:
Say Sumthin, Like, Share...Thanks!
Congrats to Megan!
I'm glad she mention Ole Girl because Bardi Gang was ready to go off, hell some of them still was wit the mess tonight, But all in all congrats to the "Hot Girl President" regardless of how you feel about her music she is leading the pack of all the new girls and that is just facts CONGRATS MEG!!!!!!😍😍😍😍
The ONLY award that matters tonight! Congrats to Meg! And I’m glad you pointed out Megan calling Cardi her peer. She’s not above other rap girls. I just felt it was odd that Meg had to rush to accept the video of year award while Cardi sat back stage with her feet up like she’s the head bitch in charge or something…
