Fans of Megan Thee Stallion have been awaiting her return to the studio, especially with another hot summer approaching. However, it was revealed yesterday that Megan Thee Stallion, otherwise known as Megan Pete, had some sobering news for fans of her music. But given her rationale, no one can be mad.
Megan Thee Stallion: Tumult Before the Masses
Fans are very familiar with the tumultuous journey that Megan Thee Stallion has undergone. This was because of an altercation with Tory Lanez, which led to a dramatic saga that played out in the court of public opinion and later in the halls of justice. During the wild and contentious period, she stood vulnerable to the varied opinions and unsolicited advisement of others who could never walk a mile in her shoes. The public bombarded her with insults as people weighed in on matters that impacted her on a soul level. Eventually, it all came to a head. A few months ago, FM Hip Hop provided coverage of Megan’s address to the public in an issue of Elle regarding her journey to holistic healing.
Megan Thee Stallion: A Word on Her Music
Instyle published their recent interview with Megan yesterday, and an interesting revelation was brought to light. While her fans were aware of her healing journey, there was still much uncertainty around the possibility of new music. But the star clarified everything in her discourse with InStyle. According to the performing artist, fans must wait a little longer for new music. Why? Because currently, her health and healing are her first priority. In the words of Megan Thee Stallion,
“Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place. Right now, I’m focused on healing.”
Of course, no further explanation was needed, but the artist took the time to express why she feels the way she does. As most can guess, she pointed out the tediousness of working in the industry, emphasizing “the grind.” And her rationale is perfectly understandable. Rest, refocus, and recalibration are essential in any industry where efforts to excel take a significant toll.
What is Megan Thee Stallion Up To
While music is not on the table currently, it does not mean that the star isn’t focusing her energies on other projects. Megan is currently in a partnership with Revlon Cosmetics and has been doing so since 2020. However, now she is focusing on this endeavor and rest and relaxation. As InStyle noted, her downtime includes:
“spending time with her dogs, working out, bingeing TV shows, and simply finding new ways to protect her peace.”
Bringing it All Together
This means no new music from Megan Thee Stallion in the very near future. And that’s okay. In a world where pressures and the tension of meeting mounting expectations seem to increase, vulnerability isn’t easy. It’s expressly hard to step back and care for oneself when the world is clamoring for your gifts. Megan is a leader. And she leads by example. And she’s doing what is suitable for her by putting Megan first. Hopefully, others will see her shining example and learn that when one takes care of themselves by choosing wholeness, one can be the best version of themselves for others.
