Megan Thee Stallion admitted that she ‘hates’ the pressure to be perfect

Megan Thee Stallion seems to be doing quite well and is arguably an impressive artist. However, she is not one to conform to the pressure of being perfect and living up to an ideal image. In a recent interview with Marie Claire, the rapper made it clear that she is actually far from perfect, and that is okay.

“I don’t know when it became the trend to be so motherf*****g perfect, but I hate it,” Megan Thee Stallion said. “I know that I’m a mess sometimes, and it’s okay to be a mess. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to scream. It’s okay to be angry. It’s okay to go through a thousand different emotions.”

She has also been true to this philosophy by owning up to her past mistakes. For example, after an old mugshot of hers surfaced online, Megan Thee Stallion came clean to fans about what happened.
