Megan Thee Stallion Says Internet Made Fame Too Easy: ‘You Can Go Viral … & Have a Terrible Song’

The Houston Hottie also confirmed the return of Tina Snow with her upcoming Act: III album.

Megan Thee Stallion discussed her thoughts on the ease of achieving fame through the internet on Michelle Obama's IMO podcast. She expressed concern that artists with "terrible" music can quickly gain viral popularity due to the digital age. Megan's mother, a former artist, taught her how to navigate the music industry professionally, while many others in today's landscape prioritize fame over hard work.

The "WAP" rapper acknowledged that it's "a little bit easier to do that, though, now" and that going viral on social media platforms can happen without producing quality music. While she believes that some artists who lack genuine passion for their craft may not have long-lasting careers, Megan herself is dedicated to her music.

During the interview, she teased her upcoming Act: III album, which will include the return of her Tina Snow alter ego.
