Megan Thee Stallion responds to critics after receiving backlash for her performance at Vice President Kamala Harris‘ Atlanta campaign rally. On Tuesday evening (July 30), thousands gathered at the Georgia State Convocation Center to support Harris at her first event in the southern state as a presidential candidate.
Dressed in a pristinely tailored blue suit, complete with a cropped blazer, the Houston rapper took centerstage performing censored and modified versions of “Savage,” “Girls in the Hood,” “Body” and her latest trending record “Mamushi” toward the end of the program.
The performance excited fans of the Grammy-winning rapper, however, drew backlash from others. Per Rolling Stone, conservatives deemed the appearance “pure ghetto trash,” and attacked the event with slogans including “H*es for Harris, Hoodrats for Harris, Single Black Momalas for Kamala, White Dudes for Harris.”
After she was made aware of the misogynoir, the chart-topping rapper responded to her contradicters on stage. While performing at Lollapalooza in Chicago on Thursday, Megan Thee Stallion doubled down on her support of VP Harris.
“Let me pop my sh*yy real quick,” she began. “[People] were fake mad that I was popping it for Kamala. I don’t think they heard what she said.”
She continued to explain, “Kamala said she wants a ceasefire,” adding, “Kamala said she supports women’s rights. And she said she’s tired of those high-a** gas prices… It’s Hotties for Harris, goddammit!”
