Megan Thee Stallion Defends Twerking at Kamala Harris’s Rally

Megan Thee Stallion has called out “haters” who criticized her for twerking during Kamala Harris’s recent campaign rally in Atlanta.

Donning a royal blue suit, the 29-year-old rapper kicked off Tuesday’s event by taking the stage and performing some of her chart-topping hits, beginning with “Girls in the Hood” and “Mamushi.”

“Now I know my ladies in the crowd love their bodies, and if you want to keep loving your body, you know who to vote for!” Megan said before segueing into her 2020 hit “Body.”

She wrapped up her performance with “Savage,” saying to the audience: “We about to make history with the first female president – the first Black female president. Let’s get this done, hotties. Hotties for Harris.”

Following Megan’s performance, many took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their disapproval of her provocative dance moves. One user wrote, “I love Kamala but having Meg Thee Stallion twerking at a rally is as performative as Trump having rappers at a rally. Both are not connected to the Black vote and will never equate to making politics ‘cool.’”

Another criticized the rally as being “degenerate because Megan Thee Stallion is twerking,” while a different user argued, “There’s a time and place for these kinds of performances, and a presidential rally isn’t it.”

At her headline slot during Lollapalooza on Thursday, Megan addressed the backlash. “They was fake mad I was popping it for Kamala and I don’t think they heard what she said,” she remarked to her audience.

Megan went on to highlight Harris’s crucial campaign points, such as calling for a ceasefire, supporting women’s rights, and combating high gas prices. “Kamala said she wants a ceasefire. Kamala said she supports women’s rights. Kamala said she’s tired of these high ass gas prices,” Megan noted, listing some of Harris’s key campaign issues.

“Tonight, I’m not giving you my life’s work. I’m giving y’all my hardest work in the motherf***ing rain because I want the hotties to do what the f*** they want to do with the f*** they want to do it,” she continued, drawing loud cheers and applause from the crowd.

“I want the hotties to be bad b****es all the time. Now I just wanted to pop my s*** right quick before we got back into some real hot girl s***. Hotties for Harris!” she concluded emphatically.

Numerous celebrities have extended their support for Harris, including America Ferrera, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, rapper Quavo, Ariana Grande, Lizzo, Olivia Rodrigo, Beyoncé, and British singer Charli XCX, who declared the Democratic nominee “IS brat,” a nod to her latest record.
