ORIGINAL STORY (November 12, 2020): With the announcement of her highly anticipated debut album, Megan Thee Stallion is quite literally bringing Good News to hotties everywhere.
The Houston rapper took to Instagram and Twitter to break the news on Thursday, revealing the artwork as well as additional imagery of her first full-length project. Referencing the album title, a red-haired Meg wearing layered gold jewelry and black open-toe heels covers her figure with some newspaper printed with stunning portraits of herself.
“Hotties, I first want to say thank you for riding with me, growing with me, and staying down with me since my first mixtape Rich Ratchet,” Megan writes on social media. “Through this rough ass year we’ve all been having, I felt like we could all use a lil bit of good news. So with that being said, MY OFFICIAL ALBUM GOOD NEWS IS DROPPING NOVEMBER 20TH. PRE ORDER WILL BE AVAILABLE TONIGHT. #GOODNEWSMEGAN”
The announcement follows the recent release of Megan’s smash hit collaboration with Cardi B, “WAP,” which drew over 93 million streams in its first week. Back in June, the artist was among one of the biggest winners at the 2020 BET Awards, as she was honored Best Female Hip Hop Artist and won the Viewer’s Choice Award for “Hot Girl Summer.” On top of that, in September, she was named one of TIME‘s 100 most influential people in the world.
Stay tuned as we patiently wait for Good News to drop on Friday, November 20.
In an interview for the December issue of GQ, Megan Thee Stallion revealed new details about her shooting at the hands of Tory Lanez, who left the Houston rapper with an injured foot that required emergency surgery. According to Megan, Lanez — who was charged with assault with a firearm and faces up to 22 years in prison — offered her money in exchange for her silence on the incident.
“[At this point] I’m really scared because this is like right in the middle of all the protesting,” Megan told writer Allison P. Davis. “Police are just killing everybody for no reason, and I’m thinking, ‘I can’t believe you even think I want to take some money. Like, you just shot me,’” she recounted. The “Savage” rapper went on to describe the obligation she felt to stay strong, even in the aftermath of such a traumatic experience. “I have to be tough through all this? All the time?” she noted, elaborating on her feelings:
“I saw something that said, ‘Check on your strong friends.’ And, like, a lot of people, they don’t do that because they think, Oh, this person is just so strong, so I know they got their stuff together.… I feel like I have to be strong for everybody, and I don’t want my friends or anybody around me to feel like it’s a pressure on me, ’cause I feel like they all start freaking out.”
Megan closed out the interview with a call to action: “I want Black women to be louder. I want us to be sassier. I want us to demand more, be more outspoken, keep speaking and just keep demanding what you deserve,” she said. “Don’t change — just get better. Grow from these situations,” she encouraged.
