Megan Thee Stallion Says It’s ‘Irresponsible’ to Not Vote When Trump Is on the Ballot: ‘Why Even Aid Him?’
As the self-proclaimed Hot Girl Coach, Megan Thee Stallion is ready to see a strong Black woman take the wheel as President of the United States.
And in her cover story with Billboard published Wednesday (Sept. 4), the 29-year-old rapper emphasizes that people need to get out and vote in order for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris to make it happen. “I don’t like it when I see people saying, ‘I’m not voting. F–k it,'” Meg shares with Billboard‘s Carl Lamarre. “What the f–k are you talking about? You’re going to complain about what you don’t like but you’re not going to help the cause?”

“I think that’s very irresponsible because if you don’t like what Trump has going on, why even aid in him being the president again?” she adds.
The Grammy winner has been one of the most vocal musicians supporting Harris’ campaign against Republican nominee Donald Trump, performing at the the Democrat’s July rally in Atlanta and posting TikTok videos with her afterward. Later, during her headlining set at Lollapalooza in August, Meg hyped up Harris on stage. “Kamala said she wants a ceasefire,” she told her crowd. “Kamala said she supports women’s rights. And she said she’s tired of those high-ass gas prices … It’s Hotties for Harris, goddammit!”
While speaking to Billboard, the Houston Hottie also opens up about feeling inspired by the possibility of Harris becoming the first woman and second Black person — after Barack Obama — to ever be elected POTUS. “To be alive in a lifetime where a Black woman or a woman at all could be the president, I feel so blessed,” she says. This is what the future is about. We really about to get a strong, Black female in there. I feel like America needed a woman to come in here and put a woman’s touch on it.”
“It’s been going a little crazy lately, and we need somebody to put their foot down,” she adds. “I feel like Kamala, she gon’ do that.”
