Megan Thee Stallion Gets Emotional Discussing Her Late Parents’ Influence on Her Career [Video]

Megan Thee Stallion sat down with Gayle King to discuss countless things, including the shooting with Tory Lanez and her late parents’ impact on her career. 

In the interview, which premiered today on CBS Morning, the rapper got emotional over her parent’s impact. 

“They were my best friends. It was only the three of us, all the time. Like when I went to school, I felt like it was a little different with me interacting with other kids. They would kind of pick on me a little bit, like I was so tall already. They just really let me know you can’t ever let somebody else’s insecurities make you insecure.”

And it looks like she learned to defend herself from a young age, saying, “I’ve been like this all my life.” 

“I’ve always been confident. I’ve always been loud. I’ve always been outgoing. I’ve always just enjoyed entertaining.” 

The Houston rapper revealed in 2019 that her mother, Holly Thomas, passed away after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. She paid tribute to her saying, “The best mom in the whole world. The strongest woman on the planet. I can’t even put complete sentences together rn RIP mama.” 

It was also revealed that her father had passed away when she was 15.
