Ahead of the release of “Thot Shit” Megan Thee Stallion emphasized her intent to take control of the negative, mainly male-purveyed narratives behind buzzwords such as “Thot” and “Hoe” that are too often used to attempt to degrade or shame women.
“I’m really just talking shit and taking ownership of the words ‘thot’ and ‘hoe’ bc they’re not the drag the men think it is when trying to come at women for doing them,” Megan replied to an inquisitive fan on Twitter.
