After a season of loss, pain, and personal evolution, Megan @theestallion is no longer hiding behind alter egos. “My alter egos have been people that I had to be at those times to be like my armor, like my shield. I had to be Hot-Girl Meg at that time. I had to be Tina Snow at that time. I had to be Megan Thee Stallion at that time,” she says. “I love this album because I feel like it’s just me talking. It’s just Megan.” At the link in bio, the Grammy winner speaks to Ashley C. Ford about new album Traumazine, what it’s like to stay on top, and shouldering the weight of heightened visibility and even higher expectations.
