The Houston rapper also opened up about why she prefers to remain guarded and keep a small team around her.
Check out Megan Thee Stallion’s top three reveals in her Essence September/October 2021 interview…
#1. On what to expect on her sophomore album
Is there a new album on the horizon? Meg’s fans and followers are no doubt asking that question as well following the platinum-selling success of her debut studio album–2020’s Good News. Naturally, there was talk about her next project, an album Megan wasn’t willing to risk giving away too much about. For her next project, the Savage hitmaker says she’s channeling the Houston-bred ambition that put her on the trajectory to the top. Megan thee stallion Essence
She said, “I feel like it will be aggressive. I feel like this project is definitely something very well thought out,” she revealed. “This project is me talking my shit, getting back comfortable with myself, getting back to the Megan that was on the come-up.”
#2. On self-improvement
Megan wants to be a better version of herself than previously. For her, the grind never ends. She focuses on the overall prize in rap as well as in life–self-improvement. “Every time I make a move, I’m like, ‘Okay, how can we be better than Megan last month?’” She said.
#3. On protecting her peace
To be the next better version of herself, Megan will only surround herself with people she can trust. Since becoming a three-time Grammy Award winner, the rapper explained that keeping her circle small has become an important part of protecting her peace. “There are probably approximately four people around me on a daily basis,” she said in the interview. “I don’t see a lot of people. I don’t talk to a lot of people because I feel like it’s not good for me. I figured out that my personal space is what keeps me balanced and it’s what keeps me centered.” Megan thee stallion Essence
