Meg thanks her late mother for guiding her.
Megan Thee Stallion has started her 2024 with some huge wins. After taking over major streaming platforms with her “Hiss” single, the Houston-bred MC announced a monumental record deal.
According to reports, Megan Thee Stallion signed an “innovative agreement” with Warner Music Group. The distribution deal reportedly allows Meg to release music independently through her Hot Girl Productions. In addition, she will maintain ownership of her master recordings.
Thank you, GOD,” the 28-year-old artist tweeted. Megan also added, “Hotties today HISSTORY was made!!! Today I signed a distribution deal with my new family @warnermusic where I maintain my INDEPENDENCE as an artist [and] OWN MY MASTERS AND PUBLISHING.”
She continued, “This is thee first deal of its kind !!! I hope [artists] still on the come up or even artists who are already established never get discouraged by all the obstacles that come with this industry! Even with all the odds against me I fought for MYSELF, the hotties fought for me and, @rocnation fought for me!!!”
Nicki Minaj Mentions Megan Thee Stallion’s Late Mother In Her Diss Record
Megan Thee Stallion dropped “Hiss” on January 26. “Hiss” peaked at No. 1 on the iTunes all-genre chart, the Apple Music Top 100: USA chart and the Spotify Daily Top Songs USA chart. Industry forecasters project the song to debut in the Top 5 of next week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Hiss” included the line “these hoes don’t be mad at Megan/these hoes mad at Megan’s Law.” That bar, referencing the federal statute requiring law enforcement authorities to publicize the information of convicted sex offenders, seemed to cause a days-long tirade from Nicki Minaj.
In response, Minaj released “Big Foot.” She mentions Megan Thee Stallion’s deceased mother in the diss record. Meg concluded her celebratory X post by adding, “I’m forever grateful!!! Let’s REALLY KEEP RUNNING IT UP HOTTIES! Shout out to MAMA HOLLY. I know she’s guiding me through all this.”
