Megan Thee Stallion has said social media has made it too easy for artists to become famous despite producing “terrible” music. Speaking on Michelle Obama’s IMO podcast, she contrasted viral success with the discipline and professional grounding she learned from her artist mother, arguing that audiences can distinguish genuine passion from a desire for fame alone.

She also discussed her forthcoming Act: III album, which will revive her Tina Snow alter ego and feature several anticipated and surprising collaborations. Megan, 31, said the character has matured since her earlier appearances in 2017 and 2018; her most recent album, Megan, debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 in June 2024 with 64,000 equivalent album units.
