Of course, rap is competitive, and hell yeah, I wanna win. I wanna be number one, for sure, but that\u2019s not why I do it,\u201d\u00a0explained the 30-year-old in a clip circulating across social media. \u201cI felt like, at a point, to please my fans because I love that my fans are very competitive, but I don\u2019t wanna be tongue-wrestling on Twitter with you motherf**kers about charting. And y\u2019all don\u2019t even like my music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cY\u2019all wanna bully other people because you think that the next girl is not doing as good as me, or you think that I\u2019m not doing as good as the next girl, but did you listen to any of my songs, for real? Do you hear what I\u2019m saying? Do you like what I\u2019m saying?

As a queer Black person, I wish I had someone like\u00a0Megan\u00a0to look up to when I was growing up. Her courage, her authenticity, and her unwavering commitment to mental health advocacy will echo for generations. The Trevor Project is proud to honor her incredible impact, especially at a time when LGBTQ+ young people are being stripped of life-saving resources.\u00a0Megan\u00a0Thee Stallion\u2019s voice is not just powerful.
