Megan Thee Stallion is a marketing maven. The “Where Them Girls At” rapper has coined several catchy phrases and nicknames that have made its way into popular culture. Now, she’s hoping her latest play on words leads one presidential hopeful into the White House.

Today (July 30), Megan Thee Stallion threw her support behind Vice President Kamala Harris during the politician’s rally in Atlanta, Georgia.

As Megan Thee Stallion took to the Georgia State Convocation Center stage, she proudly declared: “Hotties For Harris.”

A slogan that he super fans (of voting age) are sure to run with until the presidential election this November. Then, she broke into a performance of her hit song, “Savage.”

Megan also performed her viral record, “Body,” while tying it into Harris’ campaign pledge to restore women’s right that have recently been revoked, restricted, and overturned. “Now, I know my ladies in the crowd love they body,” she said. “If you want to keep loving your body, you know who to vote for.”

The H-town hottie didn’t forget about her latest fan-favorite track, “Mamushi.”

Megan isn’t the only musician to throw their support behind Harris. Charli XCX has fully embraced her brat-branding being used to drum up support for younger voters. Beyoncé kicked things off with an approval for her track “Freedom” to be used in Harris’ official presidential campaign video.

Her opposition, Donald Trump, has a few musical supporters as well, including Kodak Black, Swae Lee, and at one point, Sexyy Red. But none quite with these ladies’ superpower.

Oh Lord, Snoop Dogg’s Iced Out Goat Chain Has Resulted In A Hell Of A Lot Satanist Rumors

Everyone knows Snoop Dogg loves to keep his spirits high, with the help of one herbal remedy. But fans are convinced that he actually identifies as a Satanist in his worship observations. However, Snoop Dogg immediately slammed the accusation.

So where did the rumor start? In promotional images from the 2024 Paris Olympics, Snoop is seen rocking an iced out medallion, which people believe is a Baphomet.

“If you were on the fence about which side Snoop was on – he made it clear upon his appearance at the Satanic Olympics ritual. He wears Baphomet upon his heart,” penned one user.

In his Instagram Stories, the “Gin & Juice” rapper quickly put that rumor to bed. “I don’t know what y’all thought this was, but this is the goat,” he said. “I had this made because somebody told me I was the G.O.A.T. So I wanted to make me a goat chain. All that other sh*t y’all talking about, I don’t know what you all are talking about! This is the G.O.A.T. Greatest Of All Time!”

This certainly tracks considering the now-viral results from a Celebrity Family Feud trivia question.

First Doja Cat, now Snopp Dogg. Has satanism rumors become the new Illuminati membership conspiracy theory?

Megan Thee Stallion Endorses Kamala Harris During Rally Performance: Watch

by

Kamala Harris made extensive use of hip-hop culture during her campaign rally in Atlanta. She dissed Donald Trump by quoting a Migos classic. She had Migos star Quavo on hand to endorse her gun control policies with a rousing speech. And she called upon Megan Thee Stallion to perform her latest hits during the event. Megan didn’t get a chance to give a speech like her peer, Quavo, but she did find time to voice her political stance during her performance.

Megan Thee Stallion gave attendees an electric mashup of her biggest singles. “Body” and “Mamushi,” her collab with Yuki Chiba collaboration, were some of the notable titles. Megan’s electricity onstage has been verified time and again, though. What set the performance apart from countless others were the comments that Megan Thee Stallion made in between songs. The rapper made it crystal clear that she advocates for abortion rights throughout the U.S.. She used the title of the aforementioned “Body” as a segue. “Now I know my ladies in the crowd love their bodies,” she told the audience. “If you want to keep loving your bodies, you know who to vote for.”

The Kamala Harris didn’t stop there. Megan Thee Stallion let the instrumental for “Savage” play out while she made note of Harris’ historic importance. “I’m so happy to be here, Atlanta,” she noted. “We about to make history with the first female president. The first Black female president, let’s get this done.” Megan then coined a hashtag that’s going to be everywhere for the next couple months: #HottiesForHarris. She really pulled out all the stops, and the crowd ate it up. Megan Thee Stallion has been vocal in her support for abortion rights for most of her career.

She discussed the important of protecting women’s’ reproductive rights during an April interview with Vogue. “I just wanna kick this off by saying, my body my business, and I do what I wanna do with it,” the rapper asserted. “I have a bigger purpose to use my voice to speak out against injustice. It feels like women have to fight harder than ever to make their own choices regarding their own bodies, families, and futures.” Kamala Harris has similarly advocated for the restoration of abortion rights. She has also commended Megan Thee Stallion for using her platform to promote such an important cause.

Kamala Harris Destroys Donald Trump By Quoting Quavo During Atlanta Rally

by

Kamala Harris’ campaign traveled to Atlanta on July 30. The presidential candidate has already been endorsed by dozens of notable celebrities. She took full advantage of these endorsements during the rally. She not only called upon Megan Thee Stallion to perform during the event, but she had Atlanta native Quavo speak on her behalf. The Migos superstar praised Kamala Harris’ policies, especially with regards to gun control. Harris returned the favor by using an iconic Migos song to diss her opponent.

Harris hyped up the Atlanta crowd by taking aim at Republican nominee Donald Trump. When discussing the ways in which Trump has failed the American people, the Democratic nominee pointed to a line from Migos’ “Walk It Talk It” single from 2018. “As my friend Quavo would say,” Harris asserted. “He does not walk it like he talks it.” The reference elicit cheers of support throughout the crowd, and nicely set up the speech that Quavo would eventually give. The rapper’s appearance was not announced before the rally. Given the impact the rapper has had on ATL culture, though, the co-sign makes complete sense.

Kamala Harris Previously Spoke At Quavo’s Atlanta Summit

Quavo’s speech was brief but impactful, detailing into the importance of gun control as it pertains to saving lives. “You can’t understand the struggle of gun violence if you not in the field or in the heart of it,” the rapper asserted. “One thing I learned from working with Vice President Harris is she always stand on business.” Quavo also alluded to a previous meeting he had with Harris regarding gun control. “It’s only right in the birthplace of the culture is also the same place to launch the first African-American woman to run for president,” he concluded.

Quavo’s passion for gun control is forged in loss. The rapper’s nephew, Takeoff, was shot and killed on November 1, 2022. Both men rose to fame as part of Migos, and Quavo admitted that Takeoff’s death urged him to take a stand. “I feel like your calling comes at the least expected times,” he told Associated Press. “I have to do something about it, so it won’t happen to the masses — especially in our culture. The relationship between Quavo and Harris has benefited both parties. The rapper is providing credibility for Harris among Atlanta voters, and the politician is helping to bolster a cause that Quavo is understandably passionate about. In June, Harris participated in Quavo’s inaugural Rocket Foundation Summit.

ScHoolboy Q Invites TDE Artists To His Show After Latest Toronto Cancelation

by

TDE and Toronto are not getting along these days. The record label has had multiple shows canceled since Kendrick Lamar triumphed over Drake in their culture-shaking battle. ScHoolboy Q was the first, and most notable, given how much he had to say about the cancelation on Twitter. SiR fell victim to a similar fate, however, on July 30. The R&B singer confirmed that the Toronto venue he was slated to perform at pulled out at the last minute. ScHoolboy Q had a lot to say on the matter, and decided to invite SiR to his own show in Phoenix, Arizona.

“Phx tonight,” the rapper tweeted. “It’s sold out if u got sumtHin FROm BLUE LIPS SHOW and I’ll put 20 ppl on list.” ScHoolboy Q then shouted out his fellow TDE artists, and the strife they’re going through in Toronto. “@SiR u sHould slide bro,” he wrote with a laughing emoji. “Bring @zacarip.” SiR and Zacari are the resident singers on the TDE label, with the latter serving as SiR’s opening act on tour. Q is making it clear that he’ll be more than happy to have them at his show, since Toronto doesn’t want them at their designated venue.

ScHoolboy Q Hinted At Drake Being Responsible

This isn’t the first time ScHoolboy Q has commented on SiR’s Toronto troubles. Q was in stitches as soon as the singer confirmed the cancelation. “Hahahahahahahaha,” he wrote. “Take yo a*s home boy. Sing on the bus it’s ova wit.” This, of course, is referencing the theory many fans have put forth, which is that Drake is keeping TDE artists from performing in his own city. ScHoolboy Q alluded to this when his show was canceled on July 18. Q also noted that OVO artists have been allowed to perform in L.A. without issue.

The most ironic part of the whole Toronto saga was the tweet that SiR made after ScHoolboy Q’s show got canceled. He quote tweeted a fan who voiced concern that SiR’s show was the next to be taken off the Toronto venue’s list. “My sh*t ain’t canceled,” he assured the fan. Sure enough, the singer’s show suffered the same fate as his TDE label mate. He even called back to the tweet, and made light of the situation. “This sh*t didn’t age well at all….,” he tweeted.

Simone Biles has once again etched her name into the annals of Olympic history. With her latest triumph at the 2024 Paris Games, Biles has become the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, solidifying her legacy as a true icon of the sport.

At 27, Biles clinched her eighth Olympic medal on Tuesday night, leading her team to victory in the team final alongside teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera. Their stellar performance secured the gold, propelling Biles past the previous record-holder, Shannon Miller, who had garnered seven medals during the 1992 Barcelona and 1996 Atlanta Games.

This achievement adds to Biles’ already impressive tally of 38 medals across the Olympics and World Championships, a record that surpasses both male and female gymnasts. Despite this monumental accomplishment, Biles remains remarkably humble and focused on her love for the sport.

In a post-victory press conference, Biles reflected on her new record with characteristic nonchalance. “Honestly, I would have had to Google that,” she admitted to reporters, including those from People. “I don’t keep count, I don’t keep stats. I just go out here and do what I’m supposed to and I’m doing what I love and enjoying it, so that’s really all that matters to me.”

Biles’ grounded perspective underscores her dedication and passion for gymnastics. “Yes, it’s amazing, now that I hear it, but I don’t think I’ll truly understand the depth of it until I walk away from the sport,” she added, emphasizing that her focus remains on the present and her love for competing.

This latest gold medal marks Biles’ fifth in Olympic competition, adding to her collection of one silver and two bronze medals. Her achievements not only highlight her extraordinary talent and hard work but also inspire countless athletes around the world.

As Simone Biles continues to make history, her legacy will undoubtedly be remembered for generations. Her journey serves as a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and a love for the sport that transcends records and accolades.
