Megan Thee Stallion Hits Out At “Crazy Double Standards” In Rap

Megan Thee Stallion has spoken out about the “crazy double standards” women face in rap. 

The 24-year-old rapper was speaking to Dua Lipa on her new podcast At Your Service last week after the pair teamed up for joint single, Sweetest Pie, which came out on Friday.

At one point in the conversation, Lipa brought up Stallion’s previous comments in regards to rap “being a male dominated ecosystem” agreeing: “I feel like that about the music industry in general.”

She continued: “There’s this beautiful moment coming into music – as a whole – where female musicians are seen to lift each other up. And I think that’s really beautiful and important.”

Lipa then asked Megan whether she thinks this “reflects the different standards men and women are held to in this industry”.

The rapper responded: “I feel like when you think about women doing anything – in general – you think about ‘catty’. [If] it’s five girls in a room, what is the ‘catty’ factor of it all? But that’s what we’ve been taught for so long… I feel like boys definitely play a big part in that… in the industry, too.”

Lipa pointed out the disparities between how male and female artist are seen when performing live, to which Megan agreed by saying it’s a “crazy double standard.”

“But I feel like we are girls, right, and sometimes I just have to take it as everybody knows that we are superior,” Megan said.

“So they expect us to arrive as the superior beings that we are. I feel like we get critiqued so heavy because everybody just knows that women are the shit,” she added.
